2011 V8 Vantage Coupe 6-speed Sportshift ASM,been out on a test drive and all
appears to be sound and correct, but not knowing a great deal about
this model is there anything or untoward I need to be a where of with this model?

Cheers

Mark, you need to buy this book before buying an Aston

It will be worth more in the long run as the ex-launch car. (and i stress 'long' run)

No, not really. There are plenty of ex works cars around.

The only ex works cars that might hold a premium are the 0001 cars.

I have one of the ex-Works 4.7 Vantage's that was used for promotional work and then used at the factory for stuff until sold on to public 3 years ago. It could of been used to test sound systems or boot carpets, but then it could of been used to test the standing starts on crap clutches!!!! Its a bit of a talking point to other Aston geeks which i consider myself one but i dont think it adds to value! But saying that, early 4.7 Manuals in the Aston dealerships dont seem to be dropping below 50k at the moment.

Now you can ask questions!
The book covers so much it answers most of the questions.

Excellent book just finish the chapter covering the V8 Vantage I'm interested in.
My only concern has now been answered the 6-speed Sportshift acted exactly as the book described
on the test drive. Better start making a space in the garage now.
