The Aston Martin FIA Safety Car from F1’s Most Controversial Finale – Now for Sale!

A piece of modern Formula 1 history, captured up close.
In this exclusive Fuel the Passion film, I take you behind the scenes with a genuine Aston Martin Vantage FIA Safety Car — not a replica, not a showpiece, but a race-used car that played its role at the very sharp end of the sport. Filmed on location at Aston Martin Leeds, this video explores its provenance, its specification, and why moments like this may never be repeated again.

Unreal Scenes as Aston Martins Drive Through London | New Year’s Day Parade 2026

Aston Martins welcome in 2026 in unforgettable style, taking part in London’s iconic New Year’s Day Parade. In this film, I travel from Yorkshire to the capital to join fellow owners as a stunning convoy of Astons rolls through the heart of London — watched by hundreds of thousands lining the streets. The highlight of the day is a truly special moment: three generations of Aston Martin Vanquish aligned together, celebrating 25 years of the Vanquish name. Along the route, we pass some of London’s most famous landmarks, meet passionate owners, and experience the atmosphere, scale, and emotion of one of the world’s largest New Year celebrations.

This video is about more than cars, it’s about heritage, community, and sharing a once-in-a-lifetime experience with my son and fellow Aston Martin owners as we kick off a new year together.

If you enjoy Aston Martin stories, ownership journeys, and historic moments captured as they happen, you’re in the right place.

An Unexpected Issue with My Aston Martin - Behind the Scenes at the Dealer

A week and a half before Christmas, in heavy rain and with New Year’s Day plans looming, the FTP Vantage throws up an unexpected fault and I head to Aston Martin Leeds to get it sorted. In this video, you’ll come behind the scenes inside the dealership workshop, see how the technicians sort the issue, and follow the real-world decision-making that comes with owning a modern Aston Martin out of warranty. This is honest Aston Martin ownership: what happens when something fails, how I weighed up my options, and why a main dealer repair with a 12-month warranty ultimately made the most practical sense for my circumstances.
