Like the other poster I am joining the club and pick up a 720s Spider next week.

I am fully aware of my inadequacies !

I am coming from a Vanquish and TVR Tuscan , I am guessing that 10 years in the seat of Tuscan is a good grounding in self preservation.

It is a nice spec, not much external carbon but enough.

It is a factory specced car and besides a little less carbon on the inside and outside it is exactly how I would have specced it. I am nervously excited

Definately some familiar names smile

Hope you are well. I have been looking for forever, never quite had the courage. I wanted a spider and looked hard at 12c , 650s, 570s but really wanted a 720s and had made my mind up to buy a coupe. Then Manchester came in with a great offer on a spider and now I am looking forward to picking up next week. It will sit in the garage next to the others. smile

End of the 1/4, end of month, end of tax year type deals. I am very happy, there are no doubt some really good deals out there but they will change car to car. Enough for me to change from a s/h 570s to a new 720s spider

That looks great Neill, will you be replacing any of the fleet or is it just an addition?
Was looking to sell the Aston but having told the kids last night, the advice was to put it in the garage and lock the door. They love the sound of the V12

Definately a heart choice not a head choice!

I told the mrs that we'd won on the lottery, at some stage she is going to twig it was only £3 on the Euro's .

With the comment above is this the ISG, I have only just found out about this?

Any other things I should know about the 720s that isn't common knowledge?

Starting to get nervous now.
