Now, that’s a colour to salute! Very nice choice! Really suits the new Vantage. Congrats!

Assuming you're leaving about 10litres in the tank when you fill up, that's 13mpg - good work!!!

It ranges from 6mpg if I’m zipping around a bit, 11mpg extra urban (taking my daughter to school, so pretty calm... just following traffic)
To 25 mpg on a steady motorway run through the 50 zone/cc at 70

The overall average forever is 15.5 mpg... so not great...

So how much should I pay for a stock car? Let’s assume it’s £140k spec.

Presumably that’s zaffre blue. That was the other option for me.

I may have colour envy.... gorgeous!!!

Actually it’s Intense Blue. It does attract a lot of positive comments.

Paying outright I’d be offering them £115k and play hardball.

That surprises me - I'm averaging about 19 mpg atm in my old V8V 4.7 SSII with not many motorway-type trips; I thought the new powertrains were more efficient as well as more powerful. Perhaps I don't wear the same brand of chain-mail socks?

AM Newcastle said they had a couple that had to be registered before end of Nov and open to offers.

The full Alcantara is the base spec interior. I think it’s the one I’ll spec if I buy new

I thought the lowest spec was with the low grade textured leather.

And here’s mine in white stone. Have to say on long motorway journeys and even commuting I’m getting >25mpg.



Very happy with it, as already mentioned, coming from a V12V S it feels a lot more modern, even more comfortable than the lightweight seats I had and a nice place to be when driving.

Enjoying reading about others coming from v12vs to new vantage. Recently sold my v12vsm switching to new vantage manual, hope I have a similar experience.

Has anybody gone to renntec / similar and mapped a new vantage?

Think that would be my first stop if I chopped in the v12s...

It is already a faster accelerating car than the V12VS. Would have implications on warranty too, so would really need to hold off for 3 years. Having said that, I think David Appleby has been playing around with them.

Have you driven one? It really doesn’t need any more grunt.
