Finally got my V8 Vantage

[SupraGaz]

And I'm over the moon!

Took afew weeks to find 'the one' within my budget but boy am I glad I waited for it, especially after almost buying a previous stolen recovered that I was unaware of until running a HPi.

November 2006 registered, Full dealer service history, 65k miles, immaculate bodywork, excellent tyre tread, 20" alloys, premium audio, heated seats etc.
Here's some pictures after the 200 mile drive home (The best 200 miles in a long time!)

Little start up and walk around clip:

Sorry the pics aren't the best. The camera phone isn't the greatest!

Only problem I need to sort is the CD player has 'Deck Error' so guess that is toast but was looking at going for the iPod connection anyway so will remove the disc changer then. Just 1 question, if the deck changer is removed do you still get 1 slot for a CD to work like a generic headunit?

Cheers!

Very nice indeed! Nice to see some well used examples around - no sign it's done those kind of miles.

Thanks very much

It really has been well looked after, I wouldn't have thought it had covered 30k let alone over twice that.

As well as the service history, clutch and brake discs/pads were replaced late 2011/4k miles ago so plenty of like left amongst them too.

Looking really nice mate, though, I'm not sure about the rims.

Thanks Paddy,
I was the same when viewing the pics before going to view it and was hoping the standard ones were included (which they weren't) but they immediately struck me and really suite it in the flesh. I will try and get some better photo's that do them justice. Thanks again!

Loving the wheels.

[Cockernee]

Very, very nice. Welcome to AM ownership and the stupid grin

[DangerMonkey]

Very nice

[Ice27]

Congratulations! Very nice.
A few extras there too!
DBS gear knob and the first time I've seen a painted rear diffuser or a polished alloy centre section and ash tray.

[krisdelta]

ps. the paintwork looks very tidy - if you have some slush funds, covering that in armourfend at the front and on the "hips" can save some paintwork later on.. they do like a stonechip!

[Araantonak]

lovely congratulations!

[SupraGaz]

Thanks guys, there's also afew other polished bits.
Here's the pics:







The sills also have a clear film over them so if they get scuffed the film can be replaced without any damage to the polished part itself.

Congratulations. That looks like a beauty and it is nice to see some unique touches.

Car looks great mate, just in time for the summer. Next find a tunnel and enjoy the noise from 3rd gear.
