V12 Vantage manual.......

[vpr]

I need one, If any of you eagle eyed lunatic see one that low miles, low owners in the south east and is worth the money, shout. Some of the cars I've found have had up to 5 owners

I briefly considered an N430, lovely thing but a 12 manual has to be the ultimate

Looks great value, if it had lightweight seats it'd be more or gone! So if the seats aren't an issue for you, this looks great.

I'd buy this one.....

It has unique paint for a V12V and number 777 too. A bit higher mileage but think it's only 2 owners?

Really Mako? Matt paint yuk. My vote goes for that black car great mileage and value.

Well I imagine you can search the classifieds as well as the rest of us so maybe you're seeing if any forum members want to sell their car. Not a bad approach but I can't help there as mine is a V8S and it's not for sale. One bit of advice I would give is don't buy one until you've driven one with lightweight seats as personally I wouldn't buy one without them.

Also, I would worry more about an 8 year old car with 2K miles than I would one with 20K miles. Inadequate miles = 6 months trying to eliminate a million squeaks & rattles and wondering why the previous owner(s) just looked at it rather than driving it. Come on, 250 miles a year, that's pathetic, there's no other word for it.

Yes, you're right, might spark an owners interest but also I don't look further than PH

I've heard the Carbon seats are a must too

I love low mileage and am guilty myself with a DBS bought 7 years ago and it's just turned 1900 miles

Yes Adam, this one keeps popping up and from memory it's had 124 owners.

Yes, 88 X Pack, my dream car as a nipper. The last car to go when I'm skint

[wtdoom]

Vpr , get an x pack thread going please . I love that thing so much .
I am learning , told you about the carbon seats didn't I ?

[hornbaek]

Currently restoring this beauty. Not an X-pack but historic car none the less. First V8 "flip tail" ever produced and factory demonstrator for homologation - in 1978.

I looked at the Hamptons car before settling on mine. With a little tidying it would be a nice car. The RH rear quarter has been painted at some time but was a reasonable job and I think at least one of the wheels needed a Refurb. The ppf all over the front makes it look a little scruffy but underneath it looked sound and nothing a polish wouldn't sort. I came close and wondered if I could get it at a good price I could invest a bit to bring it right up to scratch and then still be quids in. Also think the car was supplied by McGurk to the last owner and he had tried to buy it back for his own stock.

The best car I have seen out of those for sale is the Storm Black Birmingham car. It is very clean and if you could live without the seats, then it's a sound purchase in my view. It looks hardly used and almost new!

Hope that helps.
