They've got a higher spec one too at 59990 which both seem great value

Genuine question - why is the £59k one a higher spec, both are Manual with carbon seats. Both lovely cars ....

All this debate about CCM's is nonsense, I've never heard of a single case where CCM's had to be replaced on a V12 Vantage and neither did my dealer I recently spoke to about this particular subject.
I'm sorry, CSK1, you're deluded, as is your dealer. I replaced front CCM's on my DBS after 3 track days. It's not something I would wish on anyone, it's a bloody expensive job.
Discs have been improved since the 1st gens fitted to the DBS.
In what way? I’m fascinated. When did the new ones start to be fitted?

And that makes no difference to the car we are discussing, it will be fitted with your alleged 1st gens. I know of at least 2 other V12V’s running with shot discs!!!!

I believe they were fitted to the V12 Vantage S, original V12 Vantage would be 1st gen as per DBS.

I do think either of those Mcgurk cars are a great buy. I saw one V12 the other day bid on Auction up to @51k unsold though as reserve was not met.

Seems about right to me, as EVR says find another V20...

The engineering behind the V20 is incredible. The rear mounted V8 means that the transaxle is omitted completely. For even weight distribution the volante mohair hood is tucked under the driver and passenger seats in a very nice velour bag.
