Vantage Ordering
Discussion
I know we've all been told by different people that it's not possible to order a Vantage in any guise anymore, but has anyone actually tried only to be told "No Sir" ?
All variants are still on the online configurator (that doesn't mean much in AM internet world I know) but I just wondered really. From what I've been told the first new model Vantage customer orders won't hit the streets until this time next year, with the order book opening probably around November time. I know they have a few pipeline and run-offs to build, but that still seems a long time between stopping orders and then building the new model. I know they need time for tooling etc but even so.
I can understand why the coupe would be stopped as that's the first to be replaced, but in reality we won't see a new Vantage Roadster for at least two years from now, so are they still taking orders for those ?

As Buster says, there are some knocking around, but I'm not so sure about prices continuing to drop
As evidenced in several threads on here, there is still confusion amongst the buying public, not helped by, as Big Ry says, the official website info which still lists a number of Vantage variants
However all Vantage variants on the website are MY17 specification and it is no longer possible to order a car in MY17 spec
Should there be a MY18 Vantage, it will have to be a short run so as not to overlap with replacement Vantage. I suspect once that info properly filters out, by definition the finite supply should see prices stabilize - remember replacement entry level Vantage coupe is going to start with a base list price not much more than £10k behind base list for the outgoing top of the range Vantage (V12VS) and inevitably, the typical options will cost more on the replacement - first thing AP did on taking over was pull a load of standard features and make them a cost option (leather quality, rear cabin in leather, CF bonnet vents, fuel filler cap, etc, etc)

Thanks for the suggestion but there's no need. I picked up my V12 Vantage S manual last week from AM Sevenoaks.
Absolutely beautiful, congratulations! Subtle, classy yet menacing. If it had a tan interior it would be perfection for me
