My off topic wanderings above......a bit of a connection with your loaner and Toyota with a version of that engine in the new Supra...... Vantage in for a service may I ask or something more exciting..

AM Cheltenham give out Audis. interesting that Jack Barclay in London give you a choice of which RR you want when you take your RR in for a service....

Looks like AM need to get the dealerships more in line. I wonder how many people would buy a Vantage if they had one as loan car whilst they were having their car serviced...

Wouldn’t change one buying decision imho.

Had mine serviced recently and the courtesay car given was this beast




However I was able to sample these two beauties too





Unfortunately drove them in the wrong order and the DB11 V8, left me feeling a bit underwhelmed.

Beautiful green... is that Iridescent Emerald?

I’m afraid I agree. I’ve got a DB11 Volante whilst the Superleggera Volante is having cling film smothered all over it and whilst it’s a doddle to drive it’s no DBS.

I’m happy I paid the difference, more than worth it IMHO

Aston have always given me a Jag but you have to pay £15 a day for the privilege. The one time I did not get a loan car and made my own way there the Aston was not ready (someone kindly chucked a rock though the back screen) they gave me a lift to work......

Other brands, Ferrari gave me a Alfa Mito as a service loan car, Lamborghini an Audi A6 against an Aventador and Porsche a Polo when they cocked up delivery of a new 911.

Thanks - it was the LC 500 I was interested in - I saw the GT86 launch at the GFOS a few years back and my wife took rather a liking to it - never did get her one mind you! Her car history includes an MR2 and 2 Celicas (one 4th gen and one 6th gen) - seems to be a Toyota theme there somewhere...

Your wife has taste...Toyota lost their way in the sports car sector somewhat after the Various generations of Celica and Supra....

Just bought this for my daughter....



Sorry don’t want to wander too far off topic....

New Vantage 4-door coupe!
