Hi folks

Thinking about returning to the fold and went to see this, this morning.
Took it for test drive and to my surprise quite liked the sport shift box... 😎

Anyone know anything about this car? Apparently it's been in the Isle of Man for a while.

I think it was £104,000 when it was first listed...

I've had dealings with GC, nearly bought a V12V roadster from them
Very professional oufit IME
High stock turn over and low prices
Can't help on that car though

Mixed reviews on here about GC. I bought a Boxster off them in 2009 and everything was fine. I more recently looked at a Vantage, when I got there and asked for a look at its service history it transpired it didn't have any at all, I think it may have had one service in four years. Not their fault obviously, but they don't mind selling cars main dealers wouldn't touch. Spending that kind of money you need to do lots of homework on the car.

Hey Mikey..how's it going?

I have to say that they were very accommodating. No pressure , I told them I was just starting to look and they were still happy to invest the time. Took the car for a 30 minute spin.. Everything seemed to be as it should.
The top of near side wing had a bit of an alignment issue. I had the bonnet up and couldn't see anything untoward.
I'm not sure about the wheels, would like to know why it doesn't have the standard V12 wheels...

It's a two owner, factory car.. It's only had 1 service, Feb this year. First reg Nov 2013. So that's not quite right but not a biggy either. The body work is good.. All in all not a bad car at the price.
It was serviced in the Aston dealership so I'll give them a call next week.

Those are the optional lightweight wheels, more often seen in black.

Wow Mikey that's fab... Too rich for me...😜


Hey Adam, thanks for putting me straight on the wheels.. Lightweight wheels are always good.. 😎


Think I'll be doing some ringing around on Monday if it's not been sold.
