Just got back from a trip to Scotland in the V12TT, never missed a beat, averaged 29mpg and did the 606 mile trip home in one hit apart from a fuel stop. Stayed in Invergarry and Ullapool, Skye was nice trip out for a day. in total 1806miles.

Still one of the best 2nd gen V12 Vantage specs out there. Great to see you continue to use and enjoy it. But 29mpg? How???

Hi Nick, I dont know as on the way back I was at 75/80 most of the way, so must be that the optmum speed for effiecieny. It was a pleasure to drive and when I got out at home after 10 hours didnt feel as though I had driven that far

Had my Ceramic Grey V8V detailed last week. It was away for 3 days and had a paint correction and ceramic coating. Still smitten with it and can't stop staring at it. More so then before it was detailed

[Shnozz]

That looks absolutely superb. Money well spent.

[V8VS]

Agreed. Looks stunning!

Flying vantage

[dhallworth]

The blue on yours is lovely.

[jafbash786]

Thanks Dhal but the lustre on your cermamic is on another level!

Wish there was some like buttons!

Yesterday turned out to be perfect weather just in time for a pre planned detail, PPF revive and subtle paint correction followed by ceramic coating.

I think it's turned out nicely. The photos don't really capture how liquid the paint looked however, I've never seen the whole of the front end PPF looks so bright and clear before.

Your car looks great. Hyper red is such a stunning color in the sun.

Changed a lightning silver 2010 manual roadster for this 2021 Minatour green roadster last year.

Loving it so far

“So, why do you obsess about those silver AMR alloys? And why the heck did you spend good money on getting those old V8 side skirts bolted on?”

Photo evidence 1, 2 and 3 in my defence.

I have reached absolute peak Aston Martin and am not budging. Not a millimetre.

Thanks - but I think the car designers and original owner who spec’d it with help from HWM and Q need to take the credit

That is indeed stunning and reminds me of the Phoenix yellow I had on an E46 M3.
