Finding manual coupe v8v 4.7l

[klee168168]

Other than your typical autotrader and cars.com where else can you look? I’ve been looking for over 2 years and cannot find a V8 Vantage 4.7l manual coupe in lighting silver with black interior in the USA. No luck.

You could put the word out among specialist car sourcing people, they will go out and find exactly what you want, usually charging a commission if successful.

I just popped "specialist car sourcing" into Google and several came up, worth a chat to some of them.

This looks nice, I know not lightening silver but skyfall is as nice

Nice, where are you located? Do you mind sharing the mileage and price paid?

Klee is in the US, maybe it's different there, but likewise, when I was looking last year, the second car I viewed was a 4.7 in Lightning Silver with black interior.

FWIW, I subsequently bought a 4.3 in Titanium Silver, I decided didn't really like the blue tinge to Lightning.

Silver colored manuals are hard to find here. I don't like the GTs either. I prefer the regular v8v.

I live in Seattle and was looking for a green manual (I know they’re all manuals) and couldn’t find one. I ended up going for a red paddle shift (S model). I have always been a manual guy and I didn’t think I could live with the flappy paddles. But, I have no regrets. The paddleshift works well for me.
Have you tried a V8VS?

Can definitely vouch for skyfall silver. One of my favourite colours was lightening and so was on my shopping list. I went to see several silver cars and the only one that matched lightening too my tastes was skyfall. Equally eye catching without being showy. I purchased the skyfall car and we very happy with it. Like a lot of Aston colours it can't be expressed enough how photographs do not capture the real life. I nearly didn't go to look at the skyfall car.

You could try Aston Martin Timeless on the Aston Martin web site. Talk to someone at your local Aston dealer. I have found and sold several cars over the years on eBay. Put a wanted add here and on the 6speed market place. Good luck in your search.

Gene, I'm particular about the color and the tranny. I reached out to preowned manager for the Americas. They did a search and said there were only a dozen made from 2010+ in that color/transmission combo. It's going to be tough.

I know what you mean I have found it hard with colour of trannies ,they often wear red nails and pink lipstick which is a complete no no - and often the collar and cuffs don’t match either so I have been told
