Vantage AMR

In my inbox yesterday.

Dealer specced stock or flipper?

I would think dealer specced - if it was a flipped wouldn’t it be classified as a timeless used car as it would be second owner ? Fab colour

Thanks, is this really the last one?

[Simon Lane]

Not sure if it's the last one in the country, but certainly one of very few remaining unsold cars and the last at Cambridge.

Doubt a flipper’s car would be advertised by an official dealer and it is a new car as Graham says. Didn’t nearly all dealers spec V8’s that hadn’t already been taken. Knowing Bristol I would be surprised if they put their hands up for extra because they are always prepared to play the long game on cars and know that they will sell if they are prepared to be patient.

Love the colour! mind I would say that

I think there has been previous comment about the dealer V8 AMR cars.

One dealer has (or had) 3 cars which they specced. A nunber of dealers have some, so there will be a choice of spec. for buyers, but it needs phone calls, because new in-stock cars are not openly listed.

Would £130k be list for the spec., or has it been discounted ?

LOTS of factory fresh V8 Vantage AMR readily available in this country. Really not that special.

Five at this dealer alone:
https://www.penske-hamburg.de/fahrzeugboerse-ergeb...

Two at this dealer:
https://www.astonmartin-koeln.de/de/fahrzeugangebo...

..... and so on.

No wonder if you ask me.

By the way: "Transmission: 7-Speed TouchTronic III"
Oh dear.

To be fair to Aston they only built 200 of them for a global market? I’d say that makes them pretty special. The cars have been built within a short time frame, yes there are some in stock with dealers at the moment but as we come into spring they will find homes and sell out.

I note this dealer is advertising their new car stock. Perhaps different rules for German dealers, because it does not occur in the UK.

Well stocked with new DB11 cars.

All that expensive high spec stuff (including CF door cappings) and you didn't put CF inner door handles on it. Why? Just seems incongruous and the CF ones are SO much nicer than the piano black ones.

I didn’t spec the car, but personally I prefer the tactile feel of piano black. Wouldn’t life be dull if we all like led the same thing They can be changed if the owner wants carbon. Hopefully you approve of the rest of it?!

Personally, and as you say it is all personal taste, I wouldn't want the aero kit or the AMR wheels (which just don't appeal to me) but I think as a complete package it looks great. I did change my door handles over to CF ones so if anyone wants a set of piano black ones at a steal then just PM me. It's easy this unofficial advertising isn't it Simon

I think it was a bit similar when the V12VR was released back in 2012/3. Whereas in Britain it seems far more likely that a car will be specced by its owner the German dealers in particular seem far more comfortable specking tha cars themselves and then selling them. Perhaps just a different attitude from the customer. I know some of the V12VR’s hung around for quite some time.

Except Simon also pays Haymarket to be an ‘official’ advertiser on PH:

Do share the Classifieds link to your door pulls

Not bothered either way Adam , Simon can post pictures of lovely cars as much as he wants but I was under the impression that advertising in forum is a no no ?
