Old Vantage?

[dopsonj]

Would I buy a new one if I could, unlikely - I love the rear end, but dislike the engine, no manual box and that horrible interior made of cheap plastic.

Money would be on a late V12S with a manual box. Think anyone who's in that position will see a good few years of little movement on price!

And the face wasn't bad either, at least it doesn't have a moustache!

Nice (India built?) DB7 there.

Yes, you had just taken delivery of the new Vanquish I think. Hope all good your side.

Thought I recognised the login name. All good thanks. Had a brand break but came back 5 months ago.... you won’t be tempted by the new one then?

Ha! My garage is already overfilled lol.
The California Sage one was a buddy of mine's, sold it to get into an F430 (the ownership experience hasn't been the best, but he always wanted one of those).
The Speed Yellow one is another buddy's, and he's actually looking to sell it so he can free up some cash to put toward a F430 Scuderia.

Not sure why they're so interested in F-cars. The F430 was honestly a little underwhelming when I test drove one, and I'd love a Scud but the whole Ferrari ownership thing just turns me off.

Not with that front end...was looking forward to it. Huge disappointment. Previous design a winner. Real shame.

Love the old car. Still want different wheels and a slightly lower stance as it "looks old" from some angles, but I love the original shape.

Glad I got back into the club again

Rob, I did. The V12 looks sublime but way to heavy for spirited A-B driving I'm afraid.

That's why Adrian Newey said it was one of the best drivers cars ever.

I do not agree

Can't say I would change the wheels or stance on this

I had one and it was for me. Tank of a car on the Welsh twisties.

The S (I can only speak for the manual) is such a different car Rob

AP Velocity springs work wonders

Wasn't sure about white at first, but now I find it's really growing on me.
