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.

Lovely car, congratulations.
After buying mine nearly 2 years ago, can't see why I would change for anything else. Love the bucket seats, the V12 and the manual box, absolutely adore how it looks, best car ever!

For reference my Pilot Sport 4S were £815 delivered from Camskill plus £125 fitting, there's something about them needing balancing on the car(?!) but either way drove up from Devon in chilly temps this morning and they're streets ahead of the Corsas for that kind of behaviour. Warm Corsas on a warm dry day though, difficult to beat...

Congrats on the car btw, you're in for some fun rides!

Love the colour, I like white anyway, but the shimmer in the sunlight is almost good enough to lick! eek

Another convert from a Maser GTS to a white V12 Vantage. Good job! After I collected mine I drove straight to Bamford Rose who kindly removed the secondary cats. What a car! I absolutely love mine.
