It's stunning even though it has the wrong gearbox. Was looking at it only 10 minutes ago.

God forbid anyone ever specs anything except Suicide Black, eh Neil?

That is a fantastic car but strong money. Sure that car has been seen at £105k in winter before..?

Couldn't live with the TT benderbox though

That car had blue trim and was evidently an ex PDC car

Hi Lewis,
I wondered about the price ,was it the same car ?
Romans had a 2009 ,now just sold.how much did that go for.
My DB9V is black with truffle interior.
I prefer the truffle to the sandstorm.
For me the black with black interior is ,well,a bit too black,if you get my drift.
I was planning to keep my car for at least another year but you know how it is.
Another thing is at this money I could get a year old DB9V.2 next year .
I think we all agree that the DBS Is considered a "classic" model.
So what would you do ?

Don't buy it yet thats another one in my Autotrader garage.

He has a nice black one though

Nothing to do with it. The Sandstorm seats / door inserts don't go with the blue leather. The blue leather doesn't go with the Mako blue exterior. Would have been lovely in in all Sandstorm.

Thanks George,but if you please refer to my longer post you will see I have some decisions ponder.
Although not my first priority I think the DBS will hold it's value better than the DB9V.2
Either way I must take a drive in a DBS.
Is it much different to the DB9,bearing in my I am hardly Speedy Gonzales !

I love it, but I've never been the biggest fan of sandstorm. It's truffle all the way for me. There's nothing stopping you getting a retrim somewhere down the line.

This ^^ 1500 quid lets you completely change the interior. Far better to get the right exterior and sort the tinterior if you're keeping for while.

Or if you can't ever sell because it's been trashed by a soot-covered bank robber with a swag bag full of stolen goods

Nick will be right about this not being the cheaper car I mentioned as well, he's always looking

Defo buy it. Mako is an absolutely wonderful color, and on a DBS is a rarity that you will appreciate over the long run if you plan on keeping the car.

There's nothing wrong with the interior color combo. It may not be the 'best' possible combination, but it is not horrible by any stretch of the imagination. Of course, us 'Mericans do like something less drab than suicide black, in general.

Hi Nick ,
Picked up the email.
To be honest I'm a little bit shocked.
Thought about your suggestion, but definitely a NO ,sorry mate but you cannot borrow it even if you let me shag you.
Now if it was MG I might have thought about it.
