Car is 1 owner manual with fsh from a Aston dealer . I currently have a Elise but am struggling nowadays with the lack of refinement and thought now is the time to move up. I was looking at granturismos then thought maybe Aston instead. I noted the these ceramic discs issues , any known issues with the motor? It seems to have been around a while ?

My elise was suppose to be my stepping stone to the big league 10yrs ago - it never happened and i just stuck with it over the years - its a nice little car 1 owner 30k FSH , garaged and never wanted for anything . Then little junior arrived 9mnths back and so my little toy hasnt enough space 3 into 2 dont go! So an opportunity to get my supercar ownership back onto track has come , and to be honest i quite fancy it , so wish me luck everyone - i'm going in probably Tuesday wink

Mine is tungsten silver with touchtronic 2+2 with the bang olufsen system and a few other bits and bobs, fulfilled my spec and I liked the paddle shift auto instead of my original manual thoughts. Car is spotless and prepared to a superb standard. Can't praise the dealer highly enough - grange Aston at welwyn. Spent the day with them playing and driving the car , answering all my obscure questions , doing an acceptable deal and putting together some other bits and bobs as sweeteners. So far supercar experience is something I could get to like and I haven't got it yet !,
