New Vantage SP10 Owner

[Octavarium]

Hi all,

I am a very happy new owner of an MY2015 V8V SP10 Manual in ceramic grey. As promised in an earlier thread, here are the photos, else it didn't happen.

First job will be to remove the front number plate plinth.

Very very nice. I am not normally a lover of grey but that Ceramic that AM do has such great depth it looks fantastic. Enjoy.

Congratulation on a stunning purchase and yes get shut of that plinth.

Well done also on getting the pictures up………

Kev, are you going to explain what is needed next………...

I do hope Kev isn't going to suggest upgrading to a V12. At least not yet ....

I've seen ceramic grey in the flesh and pics don't do it justice. Its a magical coating on that body. Great car and well done that man!

Whilst an upgrade to a V12 is a good idea, I would suggest enjoying your lovely new SP10 for a while first I believe Ed is referring to getting his name onto the register for Burghley, unless of course it is already hidden amongst all those other names.

An excellent choice...but I'm a bit biased as the SP10 was my first Aston too!

The Cermic grey is a stunning colour, I'm glad you like it as the SP10 only comes in it!

The plinth is a doddle to remove, get to it!

Enjoy (I know you will) in good health.

Excellent first post on your Vantage.
Followed the rules nicely with good clear pictures

Have to say it looks lovely. Well done and stop smiling. I know it's hard but people will start the think your weird.
Like the rest of us.

Congrats! Lovely car - Manual SP10 is definitely "best of the breed" of the V8V, IMO.

[Octavarium]

Thanks all for your kind comments.

You are indeed correct - I haven't stopped smiling yet. Must remember to keep my eyes on the road though. I keep glancing down at the AM wings on the steering wheel and grinning stupidly to myself. Bet I look a right numpty at the traffic lights.

Thanks Frankie.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I often am), but didn't they offer Onyx Black as an option ?

Congrats and welcome - my first Aston was also an SP10 - great way to get into the marque.
Only colour was ceramic grey and fair bit of extra kit over the S.

Correct as usual Kev you could be an official canvasser at this rate……..

Come on OP don't be shy we all want to see this beauty in the flesh…….

[V8Chris]

Love the alloys, reminds me of the ones on my old Porsche

Ooh yes please, especially if it's the one depicted in the events section on the Burghley house website - looks great. Please put me down for one

[Ed50]

No Problem on the poster but can you email me : [e-mail]

No sure if the PH system is working again.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Ed.

Well done. I love ceramic grey. The paint explodes when the sun hits it.
