Hi All
Recently sold my TVR after lots of work restoring and fun..
Pondered a replacement to fill the space in my heart and my garage
After considering a number of alternatives and looking at some extremely badly described motors, some involving 400 mile round trips, I went with a decision from the Heart (and Head) and acquired a virtually mint 2006 DB9 Volante with less that 8,000 from new.
She is Meteorite Silver and Falcon Grey leather and as the mileage would suggest in very good almost factory fresh condition.
I was after a 2007 with the various changes but couldn't find one to match this and decided condition was the higher priority. She is spec'd with parking sensors all round power-fold mirrors and Ipod connectivity Bluetooth. As an added bonus she has paint protection film on the sills rear quarters and rear bumper etc. I have just fitted the front mud-flaps (stone guards in Aston Parlance)
Looking forward to some fun but also just enjoy the sound and just looking at her too
Hope you like the picture will no doubt be back on asking some very obvious questions shortly !

Looks a beaut'. They are quite a few TVR to Aston concerts on here, me included.
Must be something to do with the wonderful music they both make Mac 
Thanks everyone look forward to sharing the experience
A 911 was on the possible list at one stage too, but as with all these things the budget started to stretch and then it was no contest as the Aston drew me in that said i didnt think I was going to find the right car at one stage, some of these dealers should pay the petrol bill when they described them so badly. I saw one which was suppose to been immaculate having had a professional bonnet re-paint due to stone marks, and wheels recut it looked as though someone had done the front edge of the bonnet with a can when i viewed the car and the wheels had been repaired ...badly . When i quizzed them i got the “oh I’m not sure what the body shop did we havent had the invoice yet” 
Certainly puts a smile on my face every time to press the start button or the loud pedal in a way nothing else does.
Roll on the weekend
Cheers

That DB9 Volante is beautiful - well done!
I have a TVR 420 SEAC which isn't used that often and fancied the new Griffith as my main car, However its out of my price range so an older V8 Vantage is just the job. Love them both in different ways. The Mrs has an Elise which is a cracking car.

Was out in the V8V all day today and even went for an education re clutch learn at the Works factory in Newport Pagnell.
Brilliant tour and lovely people Sean is a top guy and filled me in on the various bits while sorting my auto open/close on wing mirrors.
Love the car and missing the Cerb even less today
