Does anyone own a Vantage N400 here?
If so, could you please tell me if there is much difference when compared the standard 4.3 V8?
Tempted by one but not really sure if its worth paying the difference and whether it would be harder to move on than for argument sake, a normal vantage V8 (which i love).
Cheers.

Justin the N420 is a 4.7 with the Sports Pack and a few options as standard
Its very different to an N400 which is the 4.3 with sports pack, high flowair boxes and ECU tune
Dean the N400 is a nice package and will hold value better than an 4.3 or 4.7
They have been creeping up in value recently

I've owned both a 2006 4.3 and an N400 and the latter felt very different - firmer and more responsive. Lovely car and I wish I still had mine! 
Only came in three colours, all meant to be unique to the N400 and named after corners on the Nurburgring. Limited to 240 coupes and 240 roadsters, although they didn't build them all. Mine was Karussell Orange which is extremely rare.
Easiest way to spot a real one (apart from the colour) is to check for the N400 limited edition number plaque on the driver's door sill, which will say 'nnn of 240', as well as the small green 'Ring logo on the bootlid, adjacent to the Vantage badge. Worth noting that the stitched 'Ring logo could be deleted from the options so a car without one could still be genuine.

The N400 is a great car, pretty much the pick of the 4.3's, with the Powerkit and Sports Suspension as standard plus a HUGE standard spec' and special edition exterior (side skirts, clear rear lenses, etc) and interior touches (including Microspin upper console and the suspect map on the centre arm rest/cubby box!)....... BUT.... they tend to be priced at the same (or more than) early 09MY 4.7's and put simply the 4.7 is the better car, so the N400 makes best sense when it is priced a decent amount below 09MY cars...

Totally agreeI ended up buying an early 4.7 with sport pack instead of an N400 for my first Aston
That said the N400 values have stayed firmer than early 4.7's (actually gone up recently)

I've got the car, I absolutely love it, how do I put a picture on here?
Open an account with www.photobucket.com (free) then upload your pictures to there. Then in the 'Share this picture' section, click on the IMG link to copy it, then paste it on here.That's how I do it. There may be other ways?
