Worrying if too many people are saying that.

When asset values are increasing and everybody wants to 'pile in', it has often been near the end of an economic bubble.

Unless i am reading it wrong the Cf is as follows: ICP1 Q Interior Carbon Fibre Pack - 5,495.00

Not sure it is 2.5k worth let alone 5.5k

it is £5.5k, door pulls alone on regular cars is £2k.

How can there be crazy premiums when they are not yet built. I assume the price is fixed from the factory and then the dealer?

Correct ! Please don't tell me build slots are being flipped ? That can surely be controlled by the dealer ?

I would expect the majority of AMR's will spec'd every piece of carbon fibre available.

Seems like a solid fit to me. AMR and CF.

I may stick with the lightweight wheels as they show the brake calipers off much better than the AMR wheel....any thoughts?

I think if you're going Aero and Ti exhaust you should go with the AMR wheels.
They're not the exact same ones as on the AMR Pro (AFAIK) but they're a pretty good match and if you're going for the the full motorsport look, the motorsport wheels are a must. You'll def be able to see lime green calipers behind black spokes!

Great spec - that's a great spec car even at £200k !

Thanks I'm tempted with the carbon roof and lower tailgate but at 10k+ doesn't represent great value!

Have they confirmed they can do the lower tailgate in cf ?

Not yet, awaiting confirmation. It was a option on GT8/12

Yep, looks better IMO with the CF rear light infills to have the CF rear panel leading into them rather than the non CF black finish (as you say as per GT8/12), but am under the impression it can't be done on the other Vantage models

I'd be very very surprised if they are. When i was waiting for my GT8 to be built the sales guy often told me that people had been offered in excess of £50k premium for GT8's!

I have no doubt they will be future classics, but as for now I can't see them getting much of a premium.

This "wasnt much of a premium" it was a mahoosive premium

No it doesn't. If you have a well specified AMR and still have further spare 10k:
a. invest it in some gold for the other half, then buy an XJR for the hell of it
or
b. donate some of it to something important, then buy an XJR for the hell of it
The option lists are creating irrationality in some very smart people. IMHO of course.

You could also buy a V12V and then save over a 100k for a classic DBS, or a pension or something like that.

My spec is looking very much like everyone else's I think (Halo etc) but I'm going roadster.

So essentially

Halo spec
CF Mirror Caps
L/W Seats
Painted CF grill surround
Interior CF pack
Assortment pack (2nd key, glass switch etc)
Metal fuel cap
Wind deflector
Umbrella
Alcantara steering wheel
AM Tracking

I'm leaning away from having CF rear light infills. Think it will look as nice with the body coloured there

Still finalising the exhaust/AMR wheel options

sounds great !

I've said it before to someone else, but I'd consider rear environment leather (£395), something which was dropped a year or two back

Sounds like there could be a lot of barely used exhaust systems and lightweight wheels coming on to the used market later this year ! Pretty much everyone who is posting their specs on here seems to be going for the AMR versions

[RobDown]

I'm told the rear environment leather is standard apparently on the roadsters Jonby- which I guess makes sense, for the same reason they won't fit alcantara apart from the steering wheel.

I wouldn't normally go for the painted cf font grille (I didn't on he GT8). But as the roof won't have the yellow stripe I felt it needed it to balance things out
