I don't know a lot about sports cars of that era, but I know what I like when I see it, and sure I do like those three beauties. That gaping oval grille is great. I think the expression on the face of the moustachioed fellow in the last pic says it all! Sounds like you have a great job.
Back to water pumps. I've never had one in pieces. Why does the nose(?) of the pump in my P6 extend so much further forward than the pulley wheel? Is it so as to put the mechanical fan as close to the radiator as possible? Can that part of the pump be 'shortened', similarly to what you've done, to save more space between engine and radiator?
Looking at all those various Aston Martins at Snetterton, I just noticed that curiously placed old telephone box! Noisy place to try and make a phone call, surely!
