What an absolutely stunning looking car. I love that first pic in the workshop, the car looks flawless! My plan this year is to sell my TVRs and get a V8V. I can't wait and I hope I have the same excellent buying experience as yourself and your story has helped me to look forward to that day even more.

That strange box under the dash is the tyre pressure warning thingamajig

I hope you continue to enjoy your car and don't beat yourself up about the numberplate - I'd put something like that on my one too smile

Looks great - congrats. I much prefer the black fine stitching you've got on the seats to the more usual coarse white stitching.

Okay. Newbie here. What's fuse 22 do??

BTW, enjoyed this thread. Guess I'd better not try a V12! Wouldn't have even entered my head before reading thus. Only just started considering a standard Vantage before they start getting totally out of reach

There is a butterfly valve in the exhaust that opens above 4k revs which makes the exhaust louder, removing fuse 22 from the fuse box leaves the valve in the open position all the time so making the exhaust noisier all the time. wink

Looks like AM Works has just relisted your car on eBay for some reason!

Someone might be disappointed as it's currently in my garage and very much not for sale. Has it gone up in value yet? rofl
