Hi all

I've just collected my new Aston Martin Vantage from McGurk Performance. I don't think it's quite sunk in yet that I have an Aston Martin sat outside my house, it's certainly a massive step up from the 1963 Ford Anglia I had last year and it really is a dream come true. I remember seeing the original concept car over 10 years ago and instantly falling in love with the design and knew that if I ever got the chance to own one then I'd have to have one.

The car is a 07 year in Meteorite Silver and has all the usual options along with the excellent premium audio stereo. McGurk have also fitted a set of new Vantage V spoke alloys that I bought from Aston works as I really like the newer style wheels and think they suit the car really well. I have to say the condition of the car is perfect, better than the 2 other cars I saw at Aston Martin dealers and I can't fault the guys at McGurk, they've been brilliant. Big thanks to Matt, John and the whole team.

Now for the important bit, some pictures.




Will try and take some better pictures over the weekend. Right wheres the car keys, I need to go for another drive.

I didn't realise that Mcgurks offered a mother and baby aftercare service,that's really thoughtful.

Congratulations Trevor, a wonderful car that will give you much pleasure.

You have my favourite, an undiluted classic Henrik Fisker original.

Are you tempted to chuck the plinth, so that the full beautiful grille shape is revealed, or do you like it as it is?

Enjoy.

Thanks for the kind comments, I am really happy with the car. Can't wait till the morning so I can take it out again smile.

As for the way the car looks, I am really happy but do plan on doing some tweaks over the summer. Although some people say the original design is better I do like the n400/v12 sills and the newer style front bumper. I think a set of clear rear lights might also be on the cards but happy with the current look for now.

Going to do the fuse tomorrow and see if it makes much difference to both the noise levels and the complaints from the neighbours. As for the numberplate plinth the car didn't have one so I specially asked McGurk to fit one. They told me most people want them off the car and said I was the first person ever to ask for one. I don't know why but I like it paperbag

Very nice pictures, the car looks good from the angles you have taken them and very dramatic. Just shows how good the lighting can be on a dull day. Great car!
