So my quest starts tomorrow to find my dream car

[markiep1]

I've finaly found myself in a position to treat myself to my dream car, have loved the vantage since the very first time I see one drive by. I'm off to look at an meteorite 06 plate with 44k on the clock 2 owners from new, I've read plenty of threads regarding things to look out for so fingers crossed I should be fine. Says it has full service history which I hope to find details of a clutch replacement. will be mostly a weekend toy apart from heading to Le Mans 24hrs next year 😎👍 so running cost are not an isue. Have been reading people's thoughts regarding the V8s power, well I will think it's a rocket ship as my weekly chariot is a transit custom 😀
Will report back with my findings tomorrow eve, wish me luck although this is the first car so if not right I'll be back in the hunt lol

Cheers

Thanks for all the comments guys. Well this was my first time at looking to be the proud owner of an amazing Vantage, I'm afraid to say I did not even bother to take it for a drive. I asked over the phone about the service history and was told it was all there, invoices and all, well if you call a V5, MOT certificate invoices then I guess it was lol. The service book had 9 stamps which I guess is what to expect, although it's only a 2 owner car it has not been looked after very well, there is a small crack on the near side front wing right above the wheel, paintwork is pretty poor, reckon it's been cleaned by the local polish scratching booth lol. So on to the next one 😀 hope to arrange a veiwing tomorrow to go see this little beauty
