Title: Toad Tour...
Post by: cam2502 on 12 July 2014, 13:55:11
Spotted an Aston Martin V8 Volante convertible whilst on holiday on Thursday. Beautiful condition and sounded fantastic.  On the front there was a sign attached saying Toad Tour 2014.
Can't find much about this online, anyone know much about the Toad Tour?

Definitely Toad Tour. The picture of a toad as well as the words toad tour is what made me think that. Smart huh.   ;D

He knows nothing about it so I have asked on the general AMOC forum. Now CAM2502 did you get a pic of the car?  ::)

I'm afraid I didn't, only seen bit for a minute. It was an older model though, at a guess I'd say mid 70s.

The link that philrich above put up, the cartoonish pic of the toad is the image that was on the car with the word toad above the pic and tour 2014 below the pic. It was strapped to the grille of the car.

Looking at google images of the car, there's a pic of Timothy Dalton as James Bond next to one that looks very similar
