Well done that man, was a long search and hopefully well worth it!

Have you sold the 355 yet..?

Thanks, very pleased with my new Vantage - stunning car and exactly the spec I was going to choose if I'd bought a brand new manual . Having said that, I haven't actually seen the car yet! Two Vantage roadsters were sold this week as I was on my way to see them and as this one was in Wales I bought it from a main dealer unseen. I'm sure I'll be delighted when I collect it.

F355 GTS is yet to be marketed, waiting for the weather to improve - a long wait! A large part of me wants to keep it - I'm sure it will appreciate in value markedly in the coming years and is a stunning example, but I barely use it now that I'm single and with the new Aston it runs the risk of becoming a garage queen - good for the mileage but not a lot else in my opinion!

The 'S' will give you so much joy, the gearbox I think is fantastic and as for the exhaust, you have 7 days to find and plan your tunnel runs !!!
Awesome choice of car, get some piccies up and welcome to the club

What colour did you go for in the end?

Yes, I feel the need to arrange a few more Notax Hoons when the sun comes out . You've just given me an idea - I may drive back from London via the A3 tunnel

Certainly looking forward to Easter Saturday more than usual! It will be strange seeing the car for the first time, but I'm confident it will look as stunning in the flesh as in the photos. Colour is Morning Frost White (pearl white) with red calipers, black interior and silver stitching everywhere! And lots of nice carbon bits and pieces. The 'ski slope' and console are piano black but I may swap to carbon if such a thing exists (or get the original one wrapped in decent carbon sheet?)
