A Return - V12V Roadster Manual vs DBS Volante Manual

[mikey k]

I'm contemplating a return to Astons to go along side the McLaren
It would have to be convertible
It would have to hold its value OK
It would have to be V12

I'm torn between a DBS manual volante and an orginal V12V roadster (the manual one)

Any one got an better ideas or views?

[Jockman]

Any DBS available, mate? I was under the impression they were rare and / or only available to dodgy insurance brokers

Nice to hear you are coming back to the fold Mike.

A new V12VSR manual maybe?

They are!
I tried to do a cockers on his when he wasn't looking but he's too smart

There's one of the Dbs volante manuals up for auction in 3 weeks. Think there was a thread going

Not my bag, I've already ticked the hitech option, I'm looking for a GT convertible to go along side it
Maybe an N400 roadster?

Fantastic to hear you're coming back Mikey, I can feel another Welsh weekender coming on! The auction DBS Volante looked a beauty, manual as well I think....

[cayman-black]

V12VR. Good timing as there are two beauties for sale in the network.

I viewed the Kopi Bronze car yesterday in the sunshine. It is absolutely stunning but needs silver wheels

Not a bad idea... Are any up for sale though?

Not genuine ones

Do you intend to keep your your next Aston Martin, in its original standard specification Mikey?

Pretty much as it will drastically affect the value of a "limited" car

[Manwhoneverwas]

Not a manual, but ticks all the other boxes

Seen that one, its nice and I do like a Morning Frost
But
It's not rare enough IMHO
Alt least 3 similar specs currently for sale

[Brakke]

Mikey, how much do you think it will cost to buy a DBS Volante manual (if you can find one)?

Obviously my vote goes for a V12VR
