Good on you Mikey 
you lucky devil. Seems a fair price if they are only going to build 101 (rather than 1001!)particularly if you compare it to the limited run Zagato
must confess to being sorely tempted, but it's hard to justify the £££'s leap from a tin top V12V. Having said that, the combination of its rarity and top driver's car credentials 
It's interesting and a hard one to call, if there is ongoing demand for the car beyond the 101 then residuals could be great and you can enjoy this stunning car and loose very little but it is a "maybe" with lightly used coupes at just over/under £100k that has to temp people to keep 60k (after a few options) in their pocket and go the tin-top route, you could also argue that the tin-top is the better spec for a real driving machine.
But I do miss my V8 Roadster in some ways and I would LOVE one of these, but it's about £70k to change and the irony is you could have a lightly used V8 Roadster and keep the V12 coupe for that! There is also the question of a DBS Volante, even a new one could be had for V12VR money (I know they are different cars, but the genes are getting closer with Roadster vs Volante)although the DBS is going to drop like a stone because of the new Vanquish
. Nice decisions to have to make, but I'm sitting on the fence for the moment with this one.

. Nice decisions to have to make, but I'm sitting on the fence for the moment with this one.Actually they could both be right The "full" Piano Black finish(note word full - fascia and centre stack - P.B. fascia only is already standard on all Vantage) is standard (also on coupe for 013MY - even though only 1k should be built!!!) but Mikey probably has a deal to include the carbon fibre interior pack as standard - so win win
