So does that mean you've now overtaken Ian ? ! ?

This looks like a car worth waiting for:

interesting - can't imagine there will be many cars with the AMR aero kit but not the AMR wheels

My favourite topic - paint protection film. Interesting pictures and video! Thanks for posting.

So, an uncut whole sheet over the bonnet (even covering the headlights which seems most desirable to me, but would be surely illegal in my country at least - I wonder how the TÜV would react - if they noticed at all?).

Hmm. What they do not show - and what I would be most interested to see - how and where the big sheet is being cut. Isn´t there the risk of cutting into the paintwork? Further question: The front bumper doesn´t seem to be taken off, so the big sheet covers this as well. On the one hand a nice thought to not have to remove the front bumper (by a PPF provider in my case that would probably not be trained to (dis)assemble Aston Martins as Reep probably are), but on the other hand again: How is the cutting exactly executed?

Is it only me or perhaps the limitation of pictures to show the real result: Doesn´t the frontal picture of the finished car look like the car has been clingfilm-wrapped? Does it look better in reality?

At last the car has arrived at Bristol and goes off to Topaz today for detailing and full PPF to be applied. Not long now and hopefully collect during the w/c 23 April. As we have said all along "Good things come to those who wait" but it has taken a while!

Guys, the suspense is killing me.

[silverspeed]

I’m away but just had an e mail to say mine should be at the dealers tomorrow !

[silverspeed]

Well been to see the car at Nottingham today . Although I say it myself absolutely delighted with the finished car - to see it almost finished after all this time is incredible . Still can’t believe it’s actually arrived . Can’t pick up until 28th May now because I’m away in a couple of weeks and there’s PPF and a few other bits to do . A couple of pictures - more to follow on collection . Good things did actually come to those that wait !

That looks brilliant, excellent spec . I don't think I've ever seen the One-77 style wheel on a Vantage before.

[CSK1]

Yes the only other car I had seen with this type of wheel was the Austin Allegro!
Seriously, your car looks lovely! Congratulations!

[steveway]

Rover SD1 had similar square, car does look nice though

Thanks - Jonathan has the same wheel on his car do at least 2 of the AMR Cars will have it . My 9GT came with it as standard and I love it .

Looking really good Graham.
Bet you cannot wait to drive.

I viewed your photo on probably not the best device. Very dark at the front. Thought for a moment, that they had put a Mk2 grille on by mistake. ~

Enjoy your new car.

Have they made the very last Vantage yet ?

[IanV12VR]

Looks great Graham and bet you are counting off the days

Beautiful interior, puts the new one to shame.....

[Mr.Tremlini]

This looks stunning, in the spec department you seem to have done exceedingly well! Looking forward to more photos of this and other "good things!"

+1. I like the black GT8/GT12/Vanquish dials.
Wouldn't mind swapping my dials for those when my car is in for a service (and the Performance Pack) next month.
