Oil filter relocation

Has anyone here considered relocation the oil filter on your DB9?

Although I do not own a DB9, I often wondered this after seeing the gentleman with the red DB9 on YouTube change his oil. With a RHD it’s not an issue, but with a LHD it was an absolute Goat Rope getting to said oil filter.

Changing the oil filter location has been done on some piston aircraft and the kits to do it were readily available. Unless there is some valid reason as to why the oil filter absolutely has to remain where Aston placed it, I would search for a relocation kit (or have one fabricated) and move it to a much better location.

But its a once-a-year job, how many oil changes will you do before you sell the car?
