Hi all. I'm potentially looking to change cars from a V8 Vantage Roadster to a V8 Ftype-R. There don't appear to be many used V8 FType-R convertibles on the market so I'm being patient but in the mean time can anyone recommend a buyers guide or any tips / advice when looking?
Thanks in advance.

I think it sounds much better than the Aston and the gearbox is a night and day improvement (thank goodness). Think I need to go and drive one.

I want RWD, not interested in AWD one bit in a drivers car, personally.

Interested to see mention of boot space again - seems to be a common complaint of the F-Type, is that just people living up to the golfing stereotype? Boot size is not an issue high on my list of must haves for a sports car.

If it's a soft top I'm going to cry. laugh They are like hen's teeth.

Enjoy the 570s would love to hear how you get on with it (not sure it's strictly going the other way though as it's not an Aston).
