Finally bought an Aston...
Discussion
And finally getting round to posting.....
Joined the AM family a few months ago, (June really), and haven't been able to stop driving it
...not even long enough to introduce myself and post a pic.
Found a well maintained early delivery 2005 V8V in Titanium Silver and Obsidian Black interior, all unmarked and I haven't stopped smiling since. Need to check with DVLA though, as first owner in owners manual is listed as Mr T Dalton ....I may have stumbled across some interesting provenance ?
HWM did a cracking job of prepping the car and I haven't had a moment to be unhappy with in 7.5k across the summer....ooops! Must remind myself I wasn't going to do too many miles

Nice one, glad you are enjoying it and don't worry about the miles - you are just letting it live & breath as it should Joined the AM family a few months ago, (June really), and haven't been able to stop driving it

Good to see someone else on our side of the UK too - we live near enough to Wales to think of it as our playground

Congratulations on the car, they never get boring do they? 
I think you may be disappointed on the previous owner front, I seem to remember a Terry Dalton, a plasterer from Croydon had a silver vantage, cant be sure though.
Absolutely correct there Gettoff.I think you may be disappointed on the previous owner front, I seem to remember a Terry Dalton, a plasterer from Croydon had a silver vantage, cant be sure though
.I remember Terry,met him several times at AMOC events.
Used him for a bit of plastering on my BTL's until he fell off his ladder and broke both ankles,never the same,had to sell the Aston,bit like old Jockers,never the same !

That would explain the clouds of pink plaster dust when I put the air-con on......
