Still totally smitten 
I bought my 4.3 V8V privately from a chap in Reading (early October last year) who'd only had the car for two years and had only done 2k miles in that time... Sadly, ill health meant he could no longer drive the car which is why it was up for sale... I actually became aware of the car as the previous owner (Krisdelta) replied to a post I put on the forum... I'd guess many of you remember Kris, we traded a few emails before I went to look at the car so I felt as if I knew it before I even saw it
It's Meteorite with Obsidian/Chancellor interior, 19" anthracite wheels (thanks to Kris) with red calipers.... It had nearly all the factory options from new except the expensive sound system....
I've done well under 2K miles in it since October, longest trip being Christmas in a hotel in the Peak District..... driving from Norfolk to the Peak District in an Aston at Christmas was very very special
Only issue has been (and is) emission light on, so a couple of sensors to change out sometime in the not too distant future... new clutch probably sometime soon, and I'm pretty sure I'll go for a twin plate/lightened flywheel jobbie....
So, fabulous experience to date, everyone who's seen it loves it, and the driving experience has been wonderful...
