‘Everyone Stopped For This!’ When the FIA Safety Car Leads Dozens of Aston Martins | Salon Privé Blenheim Palace

Everyone Stopped For This!


Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Blenheim Palace, this film captures one of those rare moments when everything pauses. As dozens of Aston Martins glide into Salon Privé, led by the FIA Safety Car Vantage, the atmosphere shifts, conversations stop, cameras rise, and enthusiasts simply take it all in.

More than a walkaround, this is a story about presence, heritage, and why Aston Martin gatherings still stir something deep within us. From modern masterpieces to timeless classics, this is a celebration of the marque, the setting, and the people who make moments like this unforgettable.

Episode 5: AMOC 90th Anniversary Celebrations - Concours Results, Pommery & Returning Home

Episode 5 wraps up my Aston Martin adventure at the AMOC 90th Anniversary in the Austrian Alps with concours prep, judging, and results. You’ll get up-close with showstoppers including a V12 Vantage (≈700 bhp), a rare green DBS, and a stunning DB2/4 bodied car running a DB3 straight-six—plus a spotlight on Sir Elton John’s 1985 V8 Vantage and its RS Williams 7.0-litre upgrade. I share what concours judges really look for, where I lost points (hello water marks and stickers), and why the FTP Vantage still makes the perfect GT.

Then it’s the long road home: sunrise over Lake Constance, big motorway stints, and a self-guided wander through the atmospheric Pommery Champagne cellars in Reims (AMOC partners), before pushing on to Calais and back to the UK. Expect gorgeous mountain scenery, candid owner chats, start-ups and engine notes, plus real-world touring insights—from kit I remove for judging to comfort, tech and fuel stops.

Full cost breakdown (fuel, miles, mpg) is coming next—so stick around! If you’re into Aston Martin heritage, concours tips, and grand-tour storytelling, you’re in the right place. Like, drop a comment with your favourite car from the show, and subscribe so you don’t miss the trip-cost episode.

Aston Martin Owners Club | Vantage 75th Anniversary at British Motor Museum

What a celebration of 75 years of the Aston Martin Vantage at the British Motor Museum! This video brings you so much more than just interviews — you’ll see an epic arrival parade of Aston Martins, rows of stunning Vantages spanning decades, and rare models like the incredible Vantage GT12 on display. Plus, three brilliant interviews: George with his brand-new 2025 Vantage Ricky and his championship-winning 1979 V8 Vantage race car Claude from Blackthorn Racing on competing with the GT3 Vantage From heritage icons to modern GT racers, it’s a true journey through the soul of Aston Martin. If you could choose one — the classic V8, the raw GT12, the GT3 racer, or the brand-new 2025 Vantage — which would it be? For me, the GT3 has me tempted … but the sound of the 1979 V8 is just unbeatable. Then again, the 2025 Vantage looks incredible in the flesh. Tough choice! What about you?
