In the early 1970s, producer Robert S. Baker secured an Aston Martin DBS for Roger Moore’s character in the series The Persuaders!. Initially, Aston Martin had promised a DBS V8, but since it wasn’t available at the time, a Bahama Yellow DBS Vantage with a six-cylinder engine was used instead—disguised as a V8 with the correct wheels and front spoiler.
For the show, the car was registered BS1 (Brett Sinclair 1), though in one episode (The Gold Napoleon), the mechanics forgot to swap the plates, revealing its original registration.
There is always that little hesitation when preparing for a trip. The desire to take your exceptional car, to enjoy every kilometer, to make the road an integral part of the experience... and, at the same time, the constraints. The logistics, the risks, the uncertainty of arriving serene. Too often, we give up, leaving our car where it is, sheltered but immobile. This is exactly where Carsup is changing the situation. Travelling in your car should never be a cause for concern, but a simple and smooth pleasure.
There have been pivotal years in Formula 1. Seasons where you feel that something is changing, where certainties waver, where engineering is getting the better of habit. 2026 is one of those seasons. Regulations are changing, cars are being transformed, engines are entering a new hybrid era, and even the grid is welcoming new faces. Cadillac is coming. Audi is getting ready. F1 is about to write a chapter where anything is possible again. And that is undoubtedly what enthusiasts were waiting for: a discipline that reinvents its own future.
