Back in an Aston...

[burntout]

Hi All,

Been a while since I have been in this forum.

So after nearly 3 years since I sold my pride and joy I have decided to buy another one. Off this morning to give the car I have chosen a thorough looking over before parting with any money...

Looking forward to getting back....

Excellent,

Do show and tell, when you have it.

A pre-welcome back to you.
I don't expect the model you choose, will remain standard for very long. -

I noticed a Vantage with a black and white registration plate, whilst sitting in the Reading dealer showroom.
Later on PH, I realised that it was your car.
In idle conversation I asked the salesman why the B & W plate. Cannot remember what his reply was.

So here is the new beast, with any stroke of luck I will finally be picking it up on Saturday.

This time around I will be making some external changes but keeping it classy and tasteful.

Welcome back. Looking good already. Can't see that front plate (sorry plinth) lasting long

LOL What front plate? That's gone already...

The whole front end has been in for paint to deal with a few minor stone chips and the plate and holder will be in the boot when I collect. LOL

What's the plan?

Thank you......

Plan is.... Pretty much the same as my last Vantage.

De chrome window surround, side strakes, side vents, bonnet vents & front grill in satin black.

20mm drop on suspension using H&R springs

Wheels replaced with matt black 20" wheels

Quicksilver super sport back box and cat delete pipes...

Everything else will remain untouched.... well with the exception of V12 V Gear knob and alacantara steering wheel..

Oh and with out question some bespoke sill plates from Mr Tony Hall...

Looking forward to seeing that all done. Is it a trickle project or are you going for the big bang ?

Wellcome back! I remember your last Vantage, this one should look good!

LOL All in one go mate.... Everything ordered already and being delivered to the trusty work shop that is trinity Engineering in Ripley.

The de chroming is the only thing being done elsewhere....

Sounds like a great plan!
