Jon, that is a truly stunning car - one of my all time favourites! I remember a tape attached to the front of Fast Lane magazine - must have been the late eighties/early nineties - which had a recording of a Vantage being manhandled (I'm pretty sure thats the correct term 
) round Brands. Inspiring stuff for a car loving kid.
Two questions:
Would you be interested in allowing me to take some photo's of the Vantage some time?
I'm planning a revival of my 'Essex run' (now 3 counties run) on the 15th - would be great if you could make it?

trackdemon:
yes, the dream of my childhood too!
i have that fastlane tape :-)
manhandled is right -- a big beefy bruiser that takes not prisoners. And was the fastest accellerating, best cornering and best handling of the 4 supercars back then (countach, bb, 911turbo, vantage).
Sure, happy for some pix
DEont know about the 15th - might be here, might be away on work - will know later

Steve,
