I photographed the car straight on from the front and enlarged the medallion (the crop of which is just below the photo of the whole car). Something happened in processing, btw, and the entire roll of film and prints didn't turn out well. They're technically poor (thankfully Sonny improved them a bit). Shame on me. The subject matter here deserved better! In spite of everything, the medallion is very readable. The new 50/2.8 collapsible is quite a good lens. But I'm curious as to why the medallion reads "DAVID BROWN ASTON MARTIN"? Who is David Brown?

Aston Martin's sixes make one of the most glorious sounds possible. John Collier
