Out of interest what would just spending £31k on a 911 have bought you? Apart from a mint 996 or 997 Pistonheads has one decent-looking air cooled cabriolet.
If there is a lesson here it's that you're a perfectionist and can never be satisfied with a car that doesn't look and work like it was brand new, and either stop buying used cars, or always buy the very best one you can find. That mostly worked for me on the Porsche. I hope it works for me on the Aston. I guess we'll find out :-)
I think there is a strong argument for dammit leasing new. But for 2nd hand stuff I think it's just a case of budgeting......or maybe something custom.
