Not been far yet, but it's very different to the TVR Chimaera it replaces, but I was expecting/wanting that.
It's a lot quieter, I can't see fuse 22 lasting long, but then the TVR was antisocially noisy (de-cat and sleeved exhaust)
Small hiccup with the drivers door lock but it's a 'Timeless' car so going back tomorrow morning to have that sorted.
It's been a VERY long process from initial 'I want a Vantage' to Saturdays collection, probably nearly 3 years which included moving house to get a garage big enough to accommodate it, but it's all been worth it, I can't really believe I've done it but looking forward to getting some miles in it.

Excellent! I look forward to seeing your thoughts on your lovely new acquisition as I'm very much in the same boat as you were probably about a year ago...

...soon... hopefully..

When I've stopped just standing in the garage looking at the thing I'll get out and get some better pictures.

Is that Fire Red?

Been looking at V12V Manual cars.

Are there ANY that could be shown in this thread !

Very conservative lot those original V12V buyers. Almost considering a V12VS sportshift to have an interesting colour, a few nice red ones around....

The "S" buyers went for a wider range of colours I think. New breed of buyer with it appealing to the more hard core driver rather than traditional GT users?

A few years ago when we put on a display of cars just about everything was silver/grey. We had 16 cars on display at The 44th Historic Vehicle Gathering at Powderham Castle (near Exeter) and 13 were blues, reds, greens. Just brilliant.





If ever you are down in Devon when it is on it is well worth a visit. 1150/1200 vehicles of every description on display and crowds of people coming along to enjoy looking at the cars. The weather wasn't bad this year either, well probably perfect.

Some very nice cars there blokes, but having gone through every page I couldn't see one in 'Tempest Blue'. I'd like to see some as I'm looking at such a car next week. Grigorio Titanio would've been my first choice but can't see that happening as there are so few.

New to me , Vantage 4.7 , Toro Red.




Come on Mac, buy one.....

[woodsypedia]

If you go back far enough, you'll find a few coloured V12V's around...

Beautiful! What colour is that?

Could it be Vertigo Blue, the DB7 GT launch colour?

[Loose_Cannon]

Good call.
