Same instrument panel as in my GT.

Cheers, you may already know but the Vantage GT is the same as the Vantage N430 - just sold under different names in the USA and UK, so makes sense your GT has it too.

Just waiting to hear back on this having chased again today, but was told that my production slot seems to have slipped from end July to early Oct but salesman did not know why!

Waiting for more info on why and if it can be brought back forward again...

I admire your resilience. As you know I gave up after a year, I hope its worth the wait. Have you been able to drive one?

Well in fairness I lost about a month (June to July build) at the beginning due to the asking for 101 Q items but this latest slippage is unexpected and has left me a bit disappointed I have to say, although I am equally in no real rush either. The factory shutdown in Aug may be partially to blame, but then my car should have been built before that so... Seems I am not the only one to have slippage on their build slot either so I am wondering if there is more to it behind the scenes than just my Q items.

I've not had a drive either - but told a manual demo car is touring the dealers next month so should get one then and it will now be before my build so I still have time to cancel!

I have test drive on 9th August at the new Bristol dealership

Great news - are you still interested in buying one then?

I now have a test drive confirmed for Friday 5th August!

Finally had confirmation today that I can have the N430/GT8 contemporary instrument binnacle fitted for a modest admin charge, so I'm a happy bunny again!

Now just need the test drive next Friday!

This is the car I have purchased. Never had a V12 before so quite excited. Comments on spec please.

There is a thread already with a few comments on your car when it first went up for sale a couple of weeks ago: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
