Do not worry Paul, it will be fine.
You must be excited about collection.

Do they have low speed limits on your island?
If I recall correctly, the limit for the whole of Jersey, is 40 mph.
Probably only need 1st gear. wink
Funny you should ask that, somewhere it says something about 35mph....

This is why I need top down motoring, so at least I can admire the views while sticking to the limit!

And hear the engine as I trundle along in first.

Fuse (22?) might need to come out too so I can enjoy the sound of driving at 35 mph.

I didn’t pay attention to the 18 plate mention.

Could there be another Zaffre AMR Roadster with Orange stripe and Black AMR wheels?? :yikes

It wasn’t me - been behind a desk all day but did take her out for a little spin tonight ! I’m not aware of another with Orange Stripe but if there is then he/she has good taste . I’m aware of at least 2 Zaffre Roadsters with standard red stripe but believe one may have SS .

One of you will need to start an AMR register, to sort this out.

Pretty sure it was an 18 plate. The front plate looked to be illegally small, didnt see the rear.

Just for anyone to be aware the information will be available from AMHT who are working on a wider database which will include V12VS and will be far better than we could put together on PH. Not too far away either but a mamouth task for the volunteers doing it.

AMR owners / AMR Perf Pack owners - anyone had their car noise tested?

I'm wondering what track days are doable, as it's clearly loud so wondering if anyone has passed a noise test?

Static test at 5300rpm at Rockingham on my V8 AMR (with secondary cats deleted) tipped the scales st 108db.

Yes Ian, I have heard about that project, which is to try to create a database from 1913 onwards.

The impetus might be that I understand that AML are now more open, about providing information to AMHT.
I presume that AML only reveal information, after each model has finished production.
I understand that Dr Bez was not keen.

Do you know if it will be just how many of each model, or greater detail than that?

Jon, I got the impression that I would be able to find out how many V12 Vantage S Roadsters there would be, split manual and SS3 and how many AMR’s. I would guess that this information will be available for all models but it is a matter of drawing it all together and I guess not breaching any GDPR requirements.

Bright sunlight doesn't always make for good photos, but hopefully the above convey the beauty of my new Vantage V8 AMR Halo...

So, Rob... decided not to keep it then? Seems a very reasonable price, especially next to the car at Cambridge!

I love the car and it was a real wrench handing the keys over. But as many of you know I have something else coming from AML and SWMBO won’t let me have three Aston’s (nor will my man maths).

I’m not interested in flipping, I didn’t buy it for that, so I’ve got HWM to price it below list, maybe I’ll regret it if the 2-3 listed at £50k over list sell, but I’m working to an (expensive) set of principles :;
