Having idolised the Aston Martin brand for years, I am now the proud owner of a 2007 Vantage V8 4.3 Manual in Onyx Black. I took collection yesterday afternoon from AM Grange Birmingham and set off on my journey home just in time for some more rain!!!





Spencer and his team were superb, their service was impeccable.

I also had the opportunity of seeing a OHMSS DBS Superleggera in the flesh, which is 1 of 50 and the only remaining vehicle left for sale. Make sure you give Spencer or Dean a bell if you have a spare £300k!

Congratulations on the new car.

DBS is a bargain considering one sold for over £370k at Silverstone Auctions yesterday.

Congratulations you have the best of the bunch there. Original unmolested shape was the best in my opinion, i wish you happy motoring.

What a beauty, did you get the hand over where the car is covered up when you pick it up ? What was the buying experience like, as I will be looking hopefully next year...

Also was the dealer near where you live or was that not a problem

Can’t wait to join the club you are now a member of!

Congratulations on the new car. I myself cannot praise AM Grange, B'ham enough for their top quality service, the service dept in particular are a fab bunch, friendly, approachable and professional. Some other AM garages could learn a thing or two from them.

I just don't get the Silverstone car. I'm pretty sure Newcastle have a new one too.

Surprising - almost £300k more than the pair of Vantage GT4 based Rally (road legal) cars plus spares and a bit more Race Retro than the DBS!

Timelessly beautiful

Now....

Wing mirror arms, rear subframe, headlight condensation

All fixable and may have already been sorted, but worth checking on your car and feel free to email questions. Some really helpful people on here who have helped me enormously.

Congrats on the V8V - very similar to my first Vantage. They are a great car and a joy to own and drive.

May you enjoy many miles and many smiles from you Aston!

Cheers everyone for the great comments. Can’t wait for some decent weather now to stretch its legs!!

Kev - Handover was fantastic! The car was beautifully polished and kept under cover for my arrival. All the guys in the dealership offer an unrivalled level of service that I personally haven’t previously experienced at any other dealer brand I have visited and purchased from.

Interesting comments on the DBS, surprised to see them appreciate when unregistered models still available.
