Buy or hire the DB11 if...
Aston Martin's V12 grand tourer, built to cover long distances quickly rather than to lap a track. The twin-turbo V12 and sub-4-second 0-62mph time put it against Bentley and Ferrari GT rivals, so it suits hirers after an occasion car for a long drive rather than a city run-around.

Buy or hire the Silver Cloud if...
A classic Rolls-Royce saloon hired with a chauffeur for weddings and other formal occasions. Its imposing size and period looks are the main draw rather than outright performance, which is modest by modern standards.
