Looks like new money to me. Far too overstyled. Standard car looks much classier.

The variators where the main expense (a one off upgrade to the later variators at a cost of £3,500). The genuine GTS grill and wheels which were cosmetic. The suspension bushes go QPs on the front arms at relatively low mileage anyway. Its a nice car.

This is my old car. I spent a fortune on it before deciding to buy a Granturismo MC Shift. I can vouch for it being in fantastic condition when I sold and it sounds like more money has been lavished on it since.

Now sorted thanks. Total change of plans and bought a Vanquish.

Thanks guys.

As a reference my Caterham tillets fitted beautifully but RS4 seats were just too tight. Its the width around the love handles I am bothered about.

Calling all gen 1 Stradale owners. I am looking at buying a Strad at the moment. I fit the gen 2 seats but how tight are the carbon Gen 1 seats? I am 6 foot and 14.5 stone for refence and my M3 CSL seats were snug.

Much appreciated

I recently sold my Mc Shift and I replaced it with a 991 S which is very capable but soulless car. I am now in the hunt for a 4 seater Strad. I am aware of the cars that are for sale on Pistonheads and Autotrader and I went to see the Strad at Newcastle Aston Martin today. Unfortunately it...

I'll have two sets

I am glad I have seen this thread as I was considering calling the guy. Mad that a set of ceramics can be knackered at 16k? Pads must have been too thin.

Awesome guys. Will get the car up in the air and check and will cross reference to Lambda Power website

Does anyone know the part code number for the 4 lambda sensors on a Granturismo? It's replacement time and I know the sensors are approx. £120 each

Cheers Dicky. I am leaning towards Strad as its cheaper anyway and more balanced in shape with the rest of the car.

Its really tempting though Dicky. Do you know what the challenges are? The parts are exact fit so I would imagine the issues relate to disabling the parking sensors and lamps.
