911 Turbo S to Vantage AMR

[bosshog]

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone has made a similar move? I have a 991.1 Turbo S for the last couple of years but missing having a manual. The car is used for daily(ish) stuff (I work from home), and car Euro Alps trips. I have a Lotus Exige for the weekend fun.

Just looking for feedback really on fun factor and ability - I’m not worried about performance differences if any (I also have a fiesta ST which is as much fun as the turbo for local runs).

Budget wise I’m looking at around 70-90k

Which Vantage AMR?

The VH2 V8 (up to 2018) or the AMG V8?

Ah the Hero version. There have been a few reports of the manual gearbox being a problem. Its the 7 speed from the old V12 but wasnt intended for the amg. I thought about buying one a couple of years ago.
