We like Jay Kay - and today is the rock star's 40th birthday. He scores big brownie points thanks to a phenomenal car collection and he loves his cars, from his recent love of Porsche 911s through to his admiration for Ferrari and Lamborghini.

But we spotted something earlier this year which made us think - will he be celebrating his birthday with a rather special purchase?

At the 2009 Salon Prive supercar show, we snapped Jay Kay ogling over the glorious Aston Martin One-77 hypercar, which just last week hit an astonishing 220mph while testing.

Jay spent a rather large length of time chatting with the Aston spokespeople, glaring into the One-77's 7.3-litre V12 engine bay and having a quick sneak inside, and we're convinced the man with the funny hats wants one.

And it would make a fitting purchase for a man who loves cars. After all, Jay owns a classic Aston Martin DB6, and Richard Hammond, who also turned 40 this month, treated himself to a classic 1969 Jaguar E-Type (the year he was born) and a £175,000 Aston Martin DBS Volante, easily one of the most beautiful cars in the world.

So if he does bag the Aston, what will it be joining? Find out in our image gallery of Jay Kay's cars.
