Aston Martin Bulldog, 1980. The Bulldog concept was designed by William Towns and was a mid-engined supercar designed to be capable of 200mph. However testing and development of the car were curtailed when Victor Gauntlett became chairman of AML in 1981. The one-off prototype is to be restored by Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth who will carry out an 18-month nut and bolt restoration after which the owner plans to run the Bulldog to the originally planned 200 mph.
