In the April 9 issue of its print magazine, Autocar reports that there’s a spot of trouble brewing for future owners of the sexy Aston Martin DBS.

Customers who’ve put orders in for the Bond car are going to have to wait about three months longer than Aston had originally intended, to take delivery of the super coupe. Shortages of some of the car’s one-off parts are the source of the hold- up, causing otherwise complete cars to remain unfinished.

Sources within Aston Martin say that the automaker is willing to make people wait, if it means getting the car right. The company isn’t willing to risk its reputation by using available parts that are slightly sub-standard. Bravo.

That pesky “stunt driver” isn’t a stunt driver but actually one of Aston’s own engineers.
