Looking for V8 Vantage guidance

[kippax]

I also had the Tuscan but I went for the DB9 as it felt much more of an event to drive & that 6lt V12 is glorious.

Just a little update, deposit paid on this.....









Beautifully maintained 2007 4.3 manual, 39k miles and drives wonderfully. Going to be the longest week ever....

What a beauty.
Congratulations on finding the car of your dreams.

We know the excitement you now feel.
I can tell you, after several years of owning one, that excitement does not go away.

Enjoy.

[V8Andrew]

Good choice sir!

[renmure]

Nice.

I bought my Ferrari from Alexanders (recommended to me as a friend bought his Porsche from them) and, like my mate, found them really easy to deal with mainly because all their cars are top notch and perfectly as described so there wasn't really anything to haggle over. Enjoy.

Thanks guys, it's lovely isn't it. Alexanders have been great so far, nice guys to deal with and beautifully presented stock.

looks great...I would say that, exactly the same as my own car but mine is a Jan 06 ..now on 73k miles, original clutch and other than being peppered with stone chips and a few bits of bubbling paint, it drives like it did when I bought it in 2007

congrats and enjoy the summer

[marknash99]

Nice! It will be one looooooooong week

[ds2000]

Looks good!

[AndyV8V]

Nice Enjoy

[Cockey]

A year newer than mine, but otherwise identical. Good choice!

Does anyone know what colour the wheels and trim are? Need to touch up my grill.

Nice car - but a standard 07 plate has 380 bhp and not 420 bhp (see advert).

[northernmedia]

Lovely! Best colour too

I'll pm you re local group drives you might be interested in.

Yes, I know. 380 is quite sufficient at the moment and it certainly drives with sufficient eagerness at the top end of the rev-range.

It's a while since anybody insulted my knobs, but are there different ones available, also what do you mean about 'sill plaques'? The ones on it look 'standard' but again, are there some upgrades available?

Overall the car looks mint, paintwork is great and the paint protection film has certainly kept the stone chips at bay. Only 6 days to wait....

funny you should say that..i happen to know a man who makes new knobs and personalised sill plaques.....i'm sure if you use the search engine you can get all the info you need...

You can buy the centres in graphite grey.
I got my wheels painted a similar shade.

[Speedraser]

Congratulations! One of the best looking cars ever made, and a great drive too.
