I got this 4.3 manual beauty over summer and got to drive out of London to the midlands
It was a dream to drive about anywhere there is no 20 MPH. I put it through its paces and drove it well.
However, in London its a difficult drive. I am seriously thinking of selling as its not being used to anyway near its capacity
anyone else had same thoughts. [url]|https://forums-images.

I guess it’s not an ideal car for congested roads, but decision is yours. How much do you love it and what would you replace it with?

Have you considered moving out of London?

You only need to be 25 miles from the centre, to find more interesting roads, especially if you drive at less congested times.

V8 Vantages are such special cars (end of era), so I am sure that later on you would regret selling, especially if yours is in excellent condition.

I bought a Mini Cooper S for much less than the price of a Vantage clutch and just use that to bomb about in London/towns/commute. Heated leather, auto everything, DAB radio, nearly 200bhp and goes like stink round the lanes!

I don't mind the Vantage in town when I need to get somewhere but it's predictably not where it thrives...
