Picked this beauty up today, hope i have better luck with it than the last one i bought that I ended up getting my money refunded before i even drove it of the premises due to paint issues!
One of the last of the old shape Vantage S in Mako Blue, Black leather with silver stitching with the Aston 4.7 engine only 6,500 miles, absolutely loving it so far

Car was a colour called Morning frost white, which was stunning. As the cars have aluminium panels they dont rust but can get oxidation in some circumstances that starts as a minute spec and then continues to spread under the paint work and don't stop, I'm told its well known and called a Gaydon bubble.
I paid for the car over the phone before seeing it and to cut a long story short it had a bubble by the door handle that they would not fix as it would entail the whole panel being sprayed to get a match, that could potentially not match the older paint on the other panels meaning a possible whole side painting to get the right match/standard which they were unwilling to do at the price i had paid, so i got my money back and brought a SL63 then a F-Type V8R, but the Aston itch returned and here we are today!

Beautiful - think Mako blue looks great on these.

Just keep an eye on the paint. A tiny bubble came up by the door handle on mine but the dealer rectified it straight away and I never had another issue.
