Lovely car - what colour is the interior? Take your time getting to know her.

All black leather and alcantara (Carbon Black Edition). Yep, definitely going to be going steady for a while! The most obvious difference coming from a TVR T350 is the feeling of speed... you seem to get to 90 in the Aston in about a millisecond and not really feel like you're going that fast!

Beautiful car Matt. You will enjoy the whole experience. Welcome to the Aston Martin fold. Ask your dealer for a visit to Gaydon - it is heaven.

Fabulous and congratulations, just in time for the summer. Watch out, you'll be doing 130 before you know it. It amazing how effortlessly the car reaches silly speeds.

I'm hoping mine comes back this week. I've got a 4.7 roadster as a loan car and I'm missing the grunt of the v12.

Yep......and that's Garry asleep at his desk in the background sleep

Welcome to the V12 club. Quite probably the best car in the world......... In my opinion.

Lucky man, looks awesome.

If you're not doing silly speeds in a v12 sports car, you're doing something wrong!

Looks stunning in black, more pics when you've got her, especially those rear arches.
Yum.
