Escalated quickly... Vanquish
Discussion
As mentioned on another thread I took a Vanquish out for the weekend courtesy of the lovely people at AM Bristol (see guys, told you I'd say nice things). I absolutely loved the car, and was close to closing a deal, then yesterday a perfect spec car came up at a very, very reasonable price at a specialist.
Moved quickly, sorted finance - never done it before, but the numbers made a lots sense vs taking a lump out of business and related taxes etc, deposit paid and hopefully collecting tomorrow.
Didn't like letting the team at Bristol down, as they have always been great to me, but this deal was a bit too good to pass up.
Pics will of course follow, though Mr Hartley Jr, has better ones than I'll take on his site.
So, days might be numbered for another car to make space. Of course not the V12V, the Range Rover will most likely be going!

it's all a touch surreal as it's come about so quickly. It was just the right car for me and so much cheaper than comparable cars on sale. Nicely little story on the first owner too, but I'll save that for a later date.
What a day, picked up the car, a few twists and turns sorting the finance, but fantastic service/hospitality from the team at Tom Hartley Jr.
Couple of hours or dull, dark motorway driving, but arrived home feeling very content and fortunate.
Walked through the door and the Mrs presented me with a puppy, which l've been talking about for a while.
Will sleep well tonight, mainly courtesy of a bottle of vintage Bollinger (seemed appropriate).
Looking forward to seeing the puppy and the car in the morning. Don't ask me to choose!!
