Firstly my thanks to all of you who have helped my on my journey which has culminated in the purchase of my first Aston Martin.

The purchasing experience from Chiltern Aston was first class thanks to Ian and Adam who are great guys, professional, knowledgeable, extremely helpful and flexible.

I’m buzzing with excitement and anticipation, only a week or so to wait for my very special delivery.

Congratulations, lovely car, nice colour, nice options and the best wheels (IMO) which I think will look great in a slightly darker colour ... plus you got the higher output engine!

Thanks.

Lots on nice goodies, I’m particularly please with the B&O, Apple Car Play, Yellow Callipers and Carbon brakes.

If only, then I'd be a very happy man as a Mercedes owner.

I love this era of Aston Martin. Beautiful interior and exterior design.

Just looking at those pictures makes me excited for the OP.
Congratulations, that's gorgeous.

This has an Aston Martin twin turbo V12 engine, the only bits of Mercedes in it are some of the electrics and the infotainment. What car do you drive btw?

Seriously - Double congrats on getting a DB11 and it being a V12. You are going to enjoy it very much. The way in which that lump seemingly effortlessly develops high power is what sets it apart. They are very good, solid, robust cars and too often underrated.

His profile shows a black 911 on the drive.
