Brummell (begrudgingly) congratulates Gemma Pugh of Arbor Square Associates, winner of a prize draw for attendees at the FN 100 Women event last month to enjoy a weekend with an Aston Martin V8 Roadster, thanks to event sponsor Aston Martin. Fortunately, Brummell has another prize draw up his immaculately tailored sleeve – win a supercar driving lesson courtesy of luxury car club écurie25.
Prize-winning Pugh will be able to enjoy the performance of a Vantage but without the claustrophobic restriction of a roof. Racing from nought to 62mph in less than five seconds and offering a roaring 380bhp, Jeremy Clarkson described the roadster as "Aston's finest convertible in decades".
