Where are all the manual V8V Cabs ?

[M8TTJ]

Hi All,

More a rant than a post I suppose.

I am after believe it or not an AM V8V Cab without a flappy paddle gearbox and can I find one...nope.

I have checked Pistonheads and Auto Trader and nowt. I am after an 08 plate or earlier ideally with some warranty.

Sat Nav a must and premium audio, folding mirrors, heated seats, cruise etc a bonus.

Also a chap at my work has one and has said apart from the front bumper and rear arches getting a hammering from stone there is nowt really to look for on the paintwork side bar accident damage.

I know they suffed from dash rattles...owt else I have missed.

Also if anyone has they are getting rid let me know

Thanks Matt

Steering wheel on the wrong side :-)

Oh sorry I assumed your were in the US. That 4.7 in tungsten looks mighty fine though and a good price on it too!

I've got one that fits your requirements perfectly but you can't have it I'm afriad as it's such a fabulous car that I love driving - sorry :-) It's the start of summer too so looking forward to getting the roof down a lot more :-)

I 'might' be persuaded to part with mine. April 2009 - Silver, Red roof, grey wheels. Most of the options you wanted. Just done 2k miles. If I did, I'd replace it with a DB9 or DBS. PM me if interested.

Sorry should of added I have early 60's to spend !

When the roadster was launch , so was the sportshift gearbox , most dealers ordered the sportshift as that was what people where after , hence the lack of manuals.

This one looks quite good:

Same here!
Add in a more unusual colour and I'm not making much progress!
It seems ~60% of roadsters are sportshifts and 90% are black, silver or grey.
Any one want to sell a DB9R green manual V8V roadster

I was wondering this myself, then i looked at the PH Aston Wiki, and realised all the Manual V8Vs are on here!!

Now that is strange!
I guess it reflects the driving "style" of PHers

Most of the V8 Roadsters do seem to be paddle shift. I recently purchased a 2009 manual 4.7 in Meteorite Grey with black leather etc, 4k miles. £20k off new, so I'm happy and there's still AM warranty left. Grinning like an idiot!
Good luck with your search - it's well worth persevering!
