Very nice to see the DBS being appreciated by an enthusiastic owner – I owned one in the 70′s, as did my late father, mine was serviced by RSW at Coldharbour Lane; great car and many fond memories!

Keith – we were all saddened by the loss of your late, great father-in-law. He was surely a great inspiration to many, achieved greatness for the marque and no doubt shaped the racing of sports cars as we knew them. May he rest in peace in motor racing heaven.

I am sad to have to say that my father in law Ted passed away in the early hours of Thursday morning 22nd March 2012. Ted was a very special man and a great character who was well known by many people who I am sure will all miss him greatly – Rest in Peace Ted – Keith

How lovely this car looks. My father ran a 1971 DBS Vantage from 1972 – 1977, covering about 50,000 miles over that period. Originally it was red, but he had it resprayed black in about 1975 – seeing these pictures evokes the best memories!

This car should have a place as Bond’s ‘retro’ car in the new film. Imagine a knee-high camara shot of it pulling away on full throttle! And the sound….

Extremely nice and well executed. If it was mine I would have gone further. I would have updated the instruments with the current DBS’s instruments and seats. But that’s just me.

On Friday 9th July, we drove the car to Cars UK in Suffolk for shipment to China. Some last minute packing in a nearby Halfords car park was required but the car was in good spirits looking forward to its adventure. Knowing what spares to take on a 36 day rally across extremely harsh tracks/roads is very difficult. We have taken the essentials but have always remembered the organiser’s advice that ‘weight is your worst enemy’.

The race starts on September 10th, so Andrew and I have two months to get ourselves in shape and swot up on the garmin GPRS and other technological devices we have been instructed to carry.

Can’t wait to get started on this incredible rally.

Nice stickers Adrian! They are going to make all the difference….my fitness and diet regieme are not going to well. Managed 5 miles on the mountain bike and broke the chain, thats what comes from not using it for 5 years and not servicing it before use. ( and I am along to do the mechanical side of things) . Had to push it home and was so exhausted at the end of that, I had to sit down with several cold lagers just to recuperate. Ah well, not long now, still got to loose at least a stone in weight or I wont be fitting in the co drivers seat which is designed for Lewis Hamilton as far as I can see, not a corpulent middle aged businessman like me. Anyway, the car is looking fantastic and preparations are now really coming on well, I even told my wife yesterday, that I was going on the event and wouldnt be back for a few weeks. Not heard anything from her since..come to think about it I better check the bank accounts.

Well the car has now travelled its first 1000 miles after the complete mechanical rebuild and is due back at RSW for its first service. No problems with the car, but one or two developing with the co driver. Just read the list of vaccinations I have to have and started to feel decidedly sick! I have also just read the latest newsletter from the organisers of the Peking to Paris, (P2P) who have advised that the correct use of the Garmin GPS equipment should be regarded as the difference between life and death. Oh dear, what have we let ourselves in for? Anyway, back to the car, RSW have engineered some very exciting suspension modifications which have given us vital extra height for the Gobi desert section. We are told this was a graveyard for rally cars on previous events. Also I am struggling to find the air conditioning controls but Richard assures me AirCon is fitted.
