V12 vantage purchased

Oh well sold my maserati grandtourismo and got myself my first Aston.
First impressions are the interior finish is fantastic far better than anything I've ever owned and the 6speed manual gearbox is a peach .and the carbon buckets are the compfyest seats ever .it's a heavy car (steering etc) but once I got used to it it's brilliant oh and that engine is magic

What a great car Shaun. You will enjoy the drive. There is something extra special about driving Aston Martins, and you don't have to drive fast to experience that feeling.

After you mentioned your dealer, I looked at their website. If you have not already done so, you might want to capture their set of photographs of your car, while they are still available.

Expect you might already know, but at the end of December a few years ago there was excitement on here, because there were hardly any V12V cars on the main dealer list. Within a few weeks only one was left for sale, and the asking price of that car moved above £100,000. I think six months earlier they were around £80,000 to £90,000.

N/A V12 Manual. What a combination. Have a great time, but perhaps gentle with the loud pedal on damp roads.

All the best.

Thanks Jon I really love this car .hey let's hope they creep in value again
