Gettoff on here used to own this one. Was very well looked after in his ownership. I would inspect the brakes very carefully!!!

A miss-print on both Auto Trader and PH? I doubt it...

What makes us think there is an issue with the CCBs?

So reading through this entire post can we conclude by saying it's not a good time to sell but for sure it IS a good time to buy one of these great cars. All this debate about CCM's is nonsense, I've never heard of a single case where CCM's had to be replaced on a V12 Vantage and neither did my dealer I recently spoke to about this particular subject.
Stay healthy! Stay safe! Stay home!

Track use and wheel cleaner are the problems. I think Nick knows the history on this one.

I'm sorry, CSK1, you're deluded, as is your dealer. I replaced front CCM's on my DBS after 3 track days. It's not something I would wish on anyone, it's a bloody expensive job.

Hey, they may well have been replaced. If you run your finger over them and they feel like a cheese grater, avoid or be prepared to stump up £6k+.

Regarding the above car in Aylesbury, I contacted the seller a few months ago when it was on sale for 65k. They told me there was a deposit down on the car and pending final inspection it was sold. I told them to give me a shout if it fell through, but never heard back. As you can see from my previous post, I have now bought another car.

I do wonder why they didn't contact me though. Perhaps they are struggling with COVID-19 and want to clear some of their inventory, at cost or at a loss. or perhaps something more sinister.

Discs have been improved since the 1st gens fitted to the DBS.
