Never ending cycle
Discussion
Just realised that using this forum is bad for your financial health. It starts like this--- Fancy a V8 Vantage-- 4.3 looks good!! No wait need the 4.7 engined car much better etc etc. 4.7 looks good!! no wait you need the Vantage S much better. Vantage S looks good!! Oh my GOD NO you need the V12 much better car.
If i carry on like this i will be looking for a new Vanquish

I did a similar thing within the V8 range 
I started looking at the 2005 V8 and checking the different cars I could get for my money. Then I started to look at the standard fittings and the options fitted. Then I started to look at the 2006 V8 and the same thing again, but these had more items fitted as standard and better options.
It had to stop somewhere, so I went onto the 2007 V8 and these cars had even more standard fittings and options too. The price of the cars was going up and up, so I had to make a decision. The 2007 car made the difference as these had the new style seats. So I stopped at the 2007 MY looked at the best optioned car I could find, in the colours I liked and within my budget and that was it.
I think if I had carried on I would have been onto a brand new car, picking everything from new, however I don't think my "bank manager" would have let me some how, if you know what I mean?.

Only if you have long hair and are a complete arse. Go for the roadster - the farming types will love it. You should see where I live!bomberh said:

I really wouldn't worry about that. Stringfellow if firmly in the DB9 demographic now.See reference pic of Jockman, below:
