Now here is an irony
That car was for sale at Christopher Neils in Cheshire for 18 months WITH N400/Sport Pack wheels
As the title says "what were they thinking!"

If they've still got the Sportpack wheels I might give them a ring! They are, frankly, shocking. I barely recognised it as an AM.

I'm pretty sure this car was advertised for about this price when I bought my Vantage 2yrs3mos ago... who on earth would pay £55k for a 2008 4.3l Roadster, have I completely missed something when 2009/10 4.7s are less?

Luna, please confirm that you have photo-shopped those wheels.

I fear that this may tip Georgio over the edge yes

Can't even blame this on a footballer smile

I can categorically state that they do not have the sportpack wheels.


As they are fitted to my DB9 smile


The guy bought the car last August, and within a week had replaced the wheels, as they say, some you win some you loose, I Won !

yes
often followed by a slap in the face if you touch someones thrupenny bits biggrin

So in this case if you touched this car (with those wheels), you deserve a slap in the face yes
