I suspect that belongs to a friend of mine. Bought it from ADG a year or two back but never got round to using it. As good an example as you are likely to find.

That is low miles......For Me the Spyder hasn't aged as well as the Coupe....looking it's age. Pretty car though and one for the collector with those miles.

It's strange how views differ as think the exact opposite, to me its the Coupe that is showing it's age. I think the same of most of those trun of the century Coupes, DB7 etc they are pretty but just have a heaviness in the rear 3/4 IMO.

The Spyder on the otherhand is one of my favourites, the balance of bonnet and rear is just perfection, the rear deck with the roof down and the rollover hoops are beautifully integrated. Yes the interior is a bit aged, and I still don't like the facelift wheels.

Not sure the colour on this is the best, it suits bolder colours and i am always wary of suoer low mileage cars it encourages you not to drive then and there is no fun in that. Personally I would spend less money on a well sorted example and just drive it like it was designed be - hard :)

I'm sorry but 'how' can you not getting around to use it?

Nice car though. Since it has been stood up awhile, it would require a full thrash to ensure that its fully fit for purpose, happy to help.

I like the Spyder but for me this isn’t the strongest colour. Darker colours show the lines better in my opinion.

I have a spyder in this colour, and it looks utterly gorgeous in the right light, and shows off the details rather better than some of the darker colours I have seen them in. I suppose it's all a matter of personal taste.

Sorry, I should have invoked Benny’s no offence clause! As you say, personal opinion. I have no doubt yours looks great!
