Very nice indeed! Enjoy, there is a very useful sticky at the top of the forum with about 15 years of knowledge in. 😊

Prepare for a permanently aching face. That grin that you have every time you look at it doesn’t go away. I’m only six months into my V8V ownership, but I’m still utterly smitten with the car - never had this with any other car, which includes an F355 that was almost twice as expensive as the Aston.

Enjoy….

Congratulations Marcus.
You have chosen a beautiful Ferrari colour, which changes to silver in strong sunlight.

I created a list of UK Grigio Vantages, but it only begins from Model Year 2009.
I think there might be more Grigio 4.3 cars than 4.7s, so that was just laziness on my part.
Something for you to compile if you want to.

Enjoy your car and welcome to the forum.
There are great members here, many with considerable knowledge of Aston Martins, so plenty of help available should you need it.

Enjoy the ride. Astons can be quite adictive and definitely good fun.

Very nice indeed and it looks like a great example. I think it’s a fairly rare colour too. Welcome to the forum and enjoy your new car.

Well done sir!

Best Regards

Well done - looks a good buy. Hope you really enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. My only hint is to resist any thought of wasting your money joining the AMOC !

Is this then the best place to regard as an AM forum?

Congrats on the new car smile

re forums, this place is one of most popular for English speaking owners this side of the pond. On the other side of Atlantic you have 6Speedonline and the AM section on there is very active.
