It seems that I have come to the end of a long and very enjoyable road getting my 09 Vantage into the best possible shape.
So I will now sit back and look for my next project and as AdamV12V commented in my previous post, which got pulled due to advertising, a V12V might be an itch I need to scratch next.
Exciting times on both fronts.

Johnny. Is it safe to assume you enjoy the tinkering and improving along with owning as much as driving?
You’ve certainly put some time in
Over the years I’ve often sold a car as soon as the tinkering comes to an end.
Not so much these days. Trying to stop swapping!
I think I do - every itch I have to scratch gets turned into the best incarnation I possibly can. Hopefully when it sells I can start the search all over again. That’s all part of the joy of ownership.You’ve certainly put some time in

Early Vanquish is a consideration as well. They have rear subframe issues and I have form in getting rear subframes sorted, so it wouldn’t be a problem for me. Lots of man hours yes, but I pretty much know what to do and where to go to get things done.
The other option would be an early V8V. Given that the spannering is part of the fun for me, stripping down one of those babies would be very enjoyable and the early incarnation of the legend, so I’m some respects how it was intended.
Powerflex bushes would be well up on the list. I didn’t get to do those on my 4.7 as it had only done 32,000 and they were all in really good shape.
Mind you, the Vanquish headlights and rear quarter always get my juices flowing…
