Poster size copies would sell well

This thread still seems to be lacking pictures of the star car....

IMO you buy toys with the heart not the head, so if the Vantage continues to pull at the heart strings, go for it Whenever I'm in the market for a new toy I always think about the AM Vantage - probably the best looking car of the last 20 years and the Aston badge will always be special.

If in doubt walk away. It's a lot of money and you want it to be perfect.

Glad you escaped unscathed! Do you have the route you took?

Brilliant pictures!

Not a car manufacturer, but Lotus designed the 955cc Triple engine for Triumph motorcycles first used in the 1997 Daytona and Speed Triple.

I think a lot depends on how you buy the car in the first place. If you buy it from your local dealer and take it back there for warranty issues they will really look after you, including a loan car. If you buy from the other end of the country to save a couple of grand and then expect your local dealer to give you all the freebies when you hit trouble, then you’re going to be disappointed.

2nd option 👍

I've just looked at the weather forecast for this Saturday. Thank goodness the Hethel event was last Saturday!! The sun shines on the righteous 😇

Quicker, not necessarily better I think. I do agree though that Lotus need to offer an effective paddle-shift option in their extreme performance variants otherwise their laptimes are going to suffer in comparison tests.

It’s not a factory built car. The guy built it himself using all original parts.

Nice!

It was an impressive display, and a prime spot. Top marks to blindside for getting everyone organised.

All of the above really. what a superb day out. Big thanks to Bibs and everyone else who helped organise it.
