Vantage N430

[FrankAbagnale]

I took a trip to AM this weekend and it was the N430 that stood out above the rest.

The Alloro Green with Yellow race livery made a car that previously was a bit too "old" for me become far more attractive. Yes, you could say that it's garish or unsophisticated but I'm in my twenties and am brash/unsophisticated enough that the styling adds to the car rather than detracts.

I really wanted to buy something that wasn't going to depreciate over the next two years (355), and a guarantee of losing £'s is the only mental hurdle that stops me from pushing the button.

Some thinking to do.

This was at jct Leeds on Friday

My word.

Any idea of the price?

There's a couple in PH classifieds at the moment too.

Sorry not sure on price. They have a few cars that aren't listed on their website at the showroom, I guess demo cars.

There are at least 5 Alloro Green N430 in the AM dealer network, sticker prices from £78K

Indeed. Availability isn't too much of an issue. More whether to buy a depreciating asset or not!

Chances are those stripey N430s will depreciate more than a standard V8S over time too.

Because of the limited marketing appeal?

Yes, it may be harder to sell one with stripes all over it N430 is a well specced car, but I think a V8S is a better option in that price range.

Plus a V8S has carbon bits not plastic.

even if you are not a fan of the N430, just marvel at the scenery ..

Spectacular video. I rode my GSAdv on this road and I wouldn't have been upset if that had been the last ride I ever took.
