Aston Martin?

There is certainly a very strong connection there, but this is not by Aston.

They share the same connection as Aston, but not directly with this project.

Ok, so perhaps this buck might be for a model car of some sort, or a replica?

Is this the buck for the Ravana Z, the "Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato clone" promoted by Classic Sports Cars?
Wheelarches look a bit different although the rest of the car looks pretty much the same..

Now that's more like it! You have the car and one of the companies involved, I'd also like the name of the second company involved and the point is all yours!

Locked for Carnut.

Van Duin Design and Fabrication Co must be the name you're looking for.

What a nice car!:

Right you are!

I actually lived on the same street as these guys back when I was in Australia, and witnessed the process of the initial 'concept' get built and displayed. It's great to have something this nice literally 5 minutes away!
