Hey Steve,

Where the hell did you pull that one from ????

Dont get me wrong, more pics are needed to get a good idea of the accuracy but so far I like it.

And the Calibra is a nice cheap donor, easy and cheap to repair with a 2.5 V6 option.

If anyone finds anymore info on this bad boy I would be grateful.

Honestly, I used to get sick of seeing your comments on the Vanquish thread, but your commitment and dedication to getting an Aston kit is commendable my man.
Great find Steve !!!

Still has the same issue with the door to wheel distance but all in all I think it looks pretty good.

Looks quite convincing, the shot of it on the trailer is at Bangkok airport...I recognized it straight away after my recent trip there.

Hi, Ice from Bangkok! Do you know, is there a kit or webpage or something more about that car?

Hello Ice,

If you could use your local knowledge to find out any information on this it would be appreciated.

I can already see me in a tuxedo driving my shiny new calibra/dbs  ;)

Unfortunately! There's no any website or a kit, as I knew this car made from pictures by local garaged in Bangkok not from genuine car.
It's only for advertising and it can't run!! ( Those photos took at Suvarnabhumi Airport, That's all I know )

Thanks Ice.

That is a real shame, I thought it looked really good.

Fingers crossed someone will do a DBS, maybe mr2kits.co.uk might upgrade their GTC at some point.

Thanks again Ice and stevewushu for reminding us anything is possible ( Calibra - DBS ) !
