Interestingly only £10k more than a 1 year older manual version!

Quite a discount of new. Must be spec'd at £165/170k so quite a lot off. Love the V12 S badge on the boot - wonder if they will all come with that?

Thanks for that, very good!
Interesting to see he started out anti roadster and then got it at the end
That sounds some much like mine!

Indeed, and when the new (AMG based) double clutch transmissions will be used in newer Astons in 1-2 years, the Sportshifts will devaluate even more, with the manuals being sought for and keeping their value (same as Gallardo's and R8's with e-gear/R-tronic are almostr impossible to sell nowadays).
