I wonder if this is the same car, sold for $465,000? Though this article says the car is from '64...?

Ah ha! It seems to be! :)

"The car was constructed in 1964 and delivered by Brian Epstein’s venture “Brydor Cars Ltd” to George Harrison Esq. at his Kinfauns estate, Claremount Park, in Surrey on January 1st 1965."

I STILL think a Honda is a better car. I mean, think of a serious Honda Accord EX. I'd choose a Honda CIVIC over the Aston Martin any day!

1964 - I'd pick a seriously coooool Ford Falcon or a 1964 serious Dodge Coronet 500. A Dodge Coronet was a VERY serious car and a high performance Dodge!

I sure love a Thunderbird! A 1964 Thunderbird was a Better Idea! :

I agree with your choice of cars. Detroit IRon all the way!
