Only 8 RHD made

One for sale at Nicholas Mee. Pleasantly surprised by price as thought would be more

Pretty much what I sold mine for in 2018 - few less miles on mine.

Would you guys please stop into tempting me to get back in VH ownership with a DBS? I am perfectly happy with my 2020 Vantage! There is no sense in owning two Aston Martin at the same time, right? biggrin

Really think that gen DBS, DB9 Gt, later V/H era v12/v8 vantages and ofc the Vanquish 310 will go down as "peak" AM, when looking back 20 -30 years from now. DBS that followed is just not quite as perfect visually, and the amg engined cars just loose that little bit of character. I still remembering watching the premiere of casino royale and being like bloody hell wtf is that car.

I think perhaps the best sounding car I've literally ever seen in person was a DBS coupe with a quicksilver, WOW... ! new vanquish does not hold a candle to the n/a v12's.

I keep seeing vanquishes near 100K -130K in the US, hell of a car for that...

But if you have 2 you only do half the mileage on each - you know it makes sense. wink

Completely different models though so that by itself makes total sense.

Oh yes there is! A small coupe / larger Voltate combination is a wonderful luxury. And if one of them is also manual it saves you needing a third toy to tick that box

It certainly is a lovely car. Is it worth what they are asking for it? Who knows, but Nicholas Mee always tend to ask top money for their stock, although I guess it’s difficult to know what level to pitch it at. I’m actually quite surprised how high the mileage is. But as noted earlier, manual RHD versions of this car are rare and it’s unusual to see one for sale, so my gut feeling is it won’t hang around, even at that price, especially as the weather improves. BRM.
