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.
