Picked up today from JCT Leeds as a replacement for this;



It really doesn't take much to engage the traction control in sport mode so the best is yet to come from the car. Very pleased with it though - as you can maybe tell from the pictures, both are Meteorite so I've clearly been adventurous on colour! Excellent service & professionalism from Max at JCT in Leeds and as my local dealer I'm pleased they were able to get me the right car.

Counting down the days now for dry, warm roads to really see how it goes.

Congrats and welcome to the V12V Club! Is this a pre-owned example or a new one?

At least it doesn't have a trickle charger sticking out of the boot like that new Vanquish we saw at Wilmslow Adrian wink

That's true ! How on earth they thought that was going to charge the battery I don't know. The clue's in the same "Trickle Charger" !

Looks remarkably like my old one, that I sold to JCT... That said they sold it on pretty soon after, but I guess its not impossible its come around again.
