Discussion
I have been thinking about it a bit I don't like the wheels ( I know I could change them easily enough) and the mileage is higher than I would like but they are fairly flexible on the price and and it's got low owners and good service history.
If it sold tomorrow I'd probably be annoyed but in an ideal world I would have a 2+2 b&o and lower miles. I have heard there might be something coming up at NICHOLAS Mee this week so if that does t happen I may well go and have a look at the one you posted.

There are also lots of Astons that Vanq2 are far superior than, take the DB5 for example.
I think that anyone sitting on a DBS, especially a manual, will not be able to replace it for anything less than 6 figures in the very near future.
How's that crystal ball working for you? I'll wager you weren't expecting the future to be quite so soon. I guess the market has decided the DBS (manual) is seriously undervalued. Where else are you going to find something that combines beauty, naturally aspirated V12 and 3 pedals...not to mention tenuous racing heritage in the DBR9 and Bond connection? Now where did I put my rose tinted glasses....I think that anyone sitting on a DBS, especially a manual, will not be able to replace it for anything less than 6 figures in the very near future.

Wonder what a 2010 low mileage Quantum Silver B&O manual with chassis number ending 007 would be worth

Happy to have a conversation if you were thinking of shifting yours 
There is quite a queue wanting my car but I really don't want to sell it - there's just something about it that is 
Wonder what it is worth though - everything has a price so they say?
Nobody has offered enough to tempt me but you never know?
How come there's so few manuals for sale? I looked not long ago when thinking of swapping to a V12V and there were roughly the same number of each. Now there's currently 1 DBS and 22 V12V. Might be time for a switcheroo. Anyone know how many B+O manuals were produced?

Probably two to three hundred worldwide, with another 400-500 pre B&O.CockAroach said:

Not a DBS but thanks to Bamford Rose it is pushing out more BHP than a DBS.Edited by CockAroach on Monday 19th September 16:05

Probably two to three hundred worldwide, with another 400-500 pre B&O.A few years ago - I had my eye on a manual Casino Royale DBS Manual - it was beautiful. I loved this car. But - my dear friend told me that it was (and I quote) "a Halfords Ripspeed DB9".
He was so wrong - and to this day I really regret not buying the DBS. I have a beautiful V12 Vantage - but I really do love the DBS...
Still tempted to pick one up - but the prices are definitely climbing.

When I had a drive in the V12VSM the guys from the factory told me the manual DBS to have is pre B&O with carbon door caps as it was neutered in subsequent versions but they were coy on why, anybody know?
I'd be interested to know as well, as that's exactly what I've got, although I know a man who knows these cars intimately......and he says it's all b
ks......they're exactly the same mechanically and dynamically.Edited by Bincenzo on Tuesday 20th September 08:33

Adam, I spoke to a chap at the weekend who has sold 3 manual DBS over the last few months........all to the same buyer, who appears to be collecting them. If he likes the sound of them, he transfers the cash without viewing. They may all be going the same way! Currently 2 on the market, McGurks and Supercarshowroom.Edited by CockAroach on Monday 19th September 16:05

That's interesting Bins. Seen this happening before with the old Wedge Lagondas (and also rumoured to have taken place with the DB5 too). I wonder if he's buying them purely for investment purposes? Or whether he just likes the car and intends to drive them all (a bit like saying I like a particular Lewin's shirt and placing an order for half a dozen)?
