Vantage V8 or V12? S or not?

The other thing I would consider essential is the lightweight seats in either car. Massive improvement over the sports seats - but again, try them both and you’ll know.

I seem to recall that the SP10 V8 was a V8S with lightweight seats, in ceramic grey. If I was going back to a V8, that would be the one I would look for.

Lightweights were an option on the SP10 and only a minority have them specced which is why when my manual SP10 with Lightweights came up I didn't hesitate.

I would have thought the V8 most likely to have Lightweights specced would have been an N430.

For a little more info on my AM journey see the video Mike at BR posted yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWc7dP4Pegs&t=...

Good stuff Pete, you`re quite the natural in front of the lens, looking forward to part the second!

Agreed. Excellent video Pete, you should do more.

I'm still not sure whether or not you're both taking the piss. Never done anything like it before. I speak at conferences quite often but I'm totally out of my comfort zone in front of a camera, particularly one that is about 2 feet from my face (I'm guessing that was so they could include more of the background).

Anyway, I have an idea that I'm going to suggest to Mike for another video but it won't involve me talking to a camera. Let's see what he thinks when I'm there on Wednesday ..............

Taking the piss? Moi??
I was actually being quite serious, in this instance.

Same here Pete, I was being very serious and thought you came across very well.

I've done my fair share of TV and radio myself (ITN news, C4, BBC, LBC, etc.) and whilst the radio is quite relaxed the TV is daunting and quite cringe-worthy to watch back (or maybe I just have a better face for radio ).

You came across as a natural though.

Respect where it is due.

The v12 motor is just a thing of beauty, not only to look at, but to drive. For me, after driving one, I had to have it, there was no turning back and I was hooked !
