The Definitive Guide to Gaydon-era ASTON MARTIN

[Grant3]

Hi Volvodrummer, cheers for your support much appreciated
As far as I’m aware the Kindle version isn’t printable but you can enjoy it on multiple devices with the one purchase, so tablet, smartphone and computer, allowing you to read in different locations. We will certainly let you know if a printed edition does become available, but at the moment it’s digital only.
Thanks again for your post and we hope you have enjoyed the guide.

I recently bought this on Kindle, and liked it enough to want a hard copy so got fleeced on eBay for a mint 8th Edition.

Good work Grant.

Dear Grant,

I purchased your book for Kindle last year and read it cover to cover several times. I want to thank you because it has been an invaluable guide to finding the right Aston Martin (my 2nd attempt at A-M ownership). Since last week I am the very happy owner of a well cared for 2012 Rapide. Or as I like to call it: A fun four-door family hatchback.

Now my request: If you have time, the inclination, and of course if it is financially viable for your publishing endeavors, please consider expanding your book in regard to the Rapide. I know there aren’t many of them out there, but a mechanic’s perspective and maybe a column from a long-term owner would be great. The company itself doesn’t even have the information needed to cut me an emergency key, so it feels a little bit like the redheaded stepchild.

It is a really wonderful family car, and it’s a very different Aston Martin indeed.

Cheers!

Good work Grant.

Less than the £350 someone’s asking on eBay at the moment ?!

Sounds like a bargain !

Only just!
Define bargain.

I spent a while last year trying to find a copy of The Book, and was dismayed to see it was £300+.

After a few days I discovered I already had one, bought a few years earlier but forgotten about. £21.99

Shoulda bought 50 copies...

Apologies for the delayed reply Volker and thanks for your support. The Rapide is covered beyond its dedicated chapters, e.g. within the building block sections (the V12, bonded chassis, infotainment, etc) but I agree an owners perspective would be a good addition. We are aiming to update the guide again later this year (likely in winter) if you or another owner would like to add your personal experience with the Rapide let me know & I will pop over a rough template. Thanks again for investing in the kindle version, glad to hear you enjoyed it enough to read through a few times

Now all you need is the digital version to go with it - with the latest information, zoom into text/images, search, make notes on the page, bookmark, use on your phone, tablet, PC or Mac etc), so you can reference it anywhere

Grant, I am giving serious thought to purchasing a V8 Vantage in Australia, and thoroughly enjoying your book! Thanks a lot, Mike.
