Just ordered my V8 Vantage S Coupe - dealer stock and the car spec doesn't totally tally with what they quoted but from what I can tell, in my favour. I've seen the car in the flesh and the deal seemed too good to be ignored. My boyhood dream about to be realised!

Onyx Black, carbon side strakes, black exhaust, sports-shift, and plus heated memory seats, 700w stereo, alcantara steering wheel. alarm upgrade, front parking sensors etc

Just nobody mention its a mid-life crisis - that's for Porsche owners!

If anyone knows a good agent for second car insurance that takes into account faultless past but NCB used on my daily driver then let me know..

Hi Jon and welcome, you must post some pics up when you get it, sounds fabulous!

They are not a mid life crisis car, more of an aspiration I think - that's my excuse anyway wink

Beautiful cars, you will attract attention wherever you go. Or at least your car will anyway.

Best wishes with it, insurance crops up a lot, admiral multi car is well used on the forum ( I'm into my fourth year wit them, nobody can beat them for price) but many on the forum prefer a specialist agents such as Locktons. All depends on what you want out if an insurance policy.

Hi

Had my car Just a week so understand your excitement. Can't comment on ncb status v insurance but I did go with Aviva as the most competetive.

Enjoy the car.

What a beaut! Great choice of options as well.

Mid life crises are for people who know nothing about cars.
I remember playing with a matchbox James Bond DB5 as a child and thinking how cool it was. Aiming to realise the same dream in the New Year/Spring.

Enjoy!!

Midlife crisis? I prefer to think of it as still going through puberty. Enjoy!

Definitely agree with that, we don't grow up we just get bigger and better toys.

Congratulations, a great way to enter Aston ownership.

This is very true, most on here have never grown up.

If you wanted it prepped properly, drop me a message.

Lovely spec btw.

Does AMDBSNick insure cars?

That's a great looking car, I like the white rear lights.

Not sure about your specific insurance requirements, but I'd recommend Lockton, they've been good to deal with.

I've had mine 3 months now. If this is a mid-life crisis, I'll have two and I'd recommend it to anyone biggrin
