Good evening everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself after collecting my first Aston Martin on Saturday from AM Cambridge - a 2016 V12 Vantage S in Grigio Titanio. Still can't stop smiling.....

Fantastic service from AM Cambridge from the first day we walked in to the showroom many months ago right up until today. And I'm also very grateful for everyone who's posted on this forum for the endless source of information and opinion - all of which has helped me to decide to go for the V12S.

Looking forward to next few years of owning and driving this amazing car - and being part of the forum and community.

Obligatory picture:

Looks lovely.
When I see late registration models I can pretend that my MY 07 4.3 ‘ peasant edition ‘ is related and still almost current lol
Enjoy

Goddamit! I am watching lots of these on AT at present, well, about 6 and keep being drawn to them. I have a Gallardo SL570-4 at present and my eye keeps wandering...

I am also amazed at where the DB11 is now in terms of used values. Seem like a proper bargain at around 100-110k for Launch Editions.

This is not helping!

Nevertheless, congratulations, looks amazing.

Good choice. I like AM Cambridge a lot. Had my carplay u/g done there.

Nice road if you turn right as you leave too. Straight. Wide-ish. If you know what I mean.

Good morning Stuart,

Congratulations on choosing a wonderful car. You will certainly enjoy owning and driving your new car.

I expect you already know, that Grigio Titanio - Ferrari is a very rare Vantage colour.
Yours is 1 of only 4 V12S Coupes in the United Kingdom.
There are just 7 V8 4·7 Coupes, and 1 V12 Coupe.

There are two Model Year 2016 V12VS cars, both began life at AM Chichester, one of which was on sale recently at AM Bristol.
Is yours the other car, with a first registration date 30th December 2015? Low mileage I believe.

My own car is a V8V which I have owned for several years and purely out of interest, when I discovered the rarity of the colour, I collected some information about the others as they became known.

Have fun.

Beautiful car. That’s my favourite ‘silver’ for a Vantage. My V12VS is Ferrari Nero Daytona. I’ve not seen or heard of any other Aston in that colour. I’m sure there are some others though.

I’ve removed the secondary cats from mine. Highly recommended mod - if you like noise smile

This is 100% true.

Well done on the purchase. AM Cambridge is great to deal with. Whilst I bought mine from an indie, Am Cambridge has handled warranty work and a service very well. I'm extremely happy with them.

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome and your compliments on the Vantage - especially the colour - it really is an amazing colour that's dramatically different when the sun is shining compared to when it's cloudy. Either way it looks great but especially in the sun!

Good to learn of a few others who use AM Cambridge and so must be fairly local - towards the summer it would be good if some of us could meet up for coffee somewhere and see if we can find anything to talk about......laugh
