Another new V8 Vantage owner saying hello

[Laser Sag]

Hi All

Thought I would come on and say hello, refugee from 20 plus years of TVR ownership with the Sagaris still sat in the garage alongside the Vantage.
2009 Sport shift 4.7 V8 in white, cant tell you which white as the dealer said Stratos but my understanding is that one is a bright white whereas mine is a pearlescent. Sport pack, Sat Nav and premium audio are I think the extras. After 2 weeks of ownership including one driving round Northumbria I am very happy with the experience so far, manouvering with the sport shift is a bit awkward but beyond that its great.
Excuse the poor photo but will try to get some better ones before long.

Very nice looking car - congrats

Be interesting to here which one gets used the most.

Congratulations on a beautiful looking Vantage. If it looks pearlescent it may be Morning Frost White which is a stunning colour.

Lovely looking car Kevin, congratulations. Hope to see you at a run out in the future.

Sratus white is a metallic white. Car looks lovely what ever white it is.

[Laser Sag]

Thanks for the compliments, will have to find out from my local dealer what colour it is. Will keep a look out for any local run outs.

You can find the colour code & name from under the airflow panel behind the front grill. If you can be bothered to undo the 20 odd screws holding it place!

I can see your forum name is very apt if it takes 20 odd screws to just discover a paint code.

Nice car, the Aston Martin/TVR combination seems to be a popular one

Luverly. Congrats.

Nice house too!!

[Laser Sag]

Was a lovely house but not mine, couldn't afford the garage let alone the house, the pic was taken at Cragside near Rothbury

I love Cragside - it's a cracking day out for a picnic when the weather is good.

A quick call to Lancasters at Cambridge, bloody helpful fellow in service called Scott, and you are right V12woolie it is Morning Frost White and I do think it is stunning.

[V12woollie]

In that case double congratulations. MFW is absolutely amazing and changes colour in different light.

Fantastic Car - congrats

Scott at Lancaster Cambridge is an absolute star. Morning Frost is a beauty by the way!

Good point LD! I spent a few hours drooling over Simons car at the last meet whilst taking him on an unplanned diversion....
