Well sort of. Just put a deposit down on a Fire Red 4.7 Manual Vantage. Ex Works Factory car. Low mileage. Im feeling pretty lightheaded for some reason! lol

Look in the mirror - if you see a grin from ear to ear, you probably have bought one!

Bloody Gorgeous, truly fab colour. Rest assured Works will send it out in perfect condition. Your new purchase will turn out to be life changing. Before collection get them to lower the front number plate, it is of course the Law. wink

Hope to meet up soon

Rob, Molly and Pearl

Yes i have heard about the dreaded plinth!! Coming from Porsche you only needed to put supermarket air in the tyres to invalidate the Warranty so ill be enquiring about that....failing that ill do it when i get home!
Priority though is to look at the fuse that will be coming out at the first service station.

Ill have to match my rotations out here to make sure im back in UK, either that or the missus can go. She is pretty handy with a new 991 the Porsche Instructor told me at Silverstone so this thing should be no problem for her.

Certainly a beautiful car Ross.

My favourite Vantage. Pure, original, Henrik Fisker, and with the firm, but still comfortable suspension.

Congratulations, you will certainly enjoy owning an Aston Martin.
