So I think I've agreed a deal on PX ing my 05 DB9 Volante for an 08 DB9 Volante.

The old one is black with black. The new one is black with black.

No one will even know I've changed cars (prob a good thing).

Apart from a lower mileage, newer car they are pretty much identical. Is there any point?

Arrgh the old Stealth Change Simon,

Nothing wrong in that done it myself many times,if your happy with your combination of choice go for it.

If your doubting your wisdom in a like for like change sit back something is bound to catch your eye shortly I'm sure.

What ever you decide enjoy it and don't worry I doubt your losing the plot.....nuts

Different seat
Different dashboard
Newer one may have the rear anti-roll bar fitted

Not sure I would change just for the above.

Answer - Yes, unless your present car is worn out.

A cheeky question. Are we talking tens of thousands to change cars?

Oh yes.
Ouch.

Hope you will be retaining your present car's number plate. It will add to the illusion.

I'd say waste of money and leave it until you can get in a Virage or DB9.2

Mikey,

I'm sure you could trick him in if you laid down a few Scone crumbs and left a jar of strawberry jam in the footwell.cloud9

Mikey,

They put Chimps in Space so I see no reason why with a little dedication and patience on your part and not forgetting a bountiful supply of assorted confectionary
how you could possibly fail.

Mind you once in watch his jammy little fingers all over your windows and upholstery......oh what a mess.yum

I wouldn't. Cheaper and certainly more fun to run the old one into the ground IMHO.
