It's been brilliant Dean I'm trying to figure out a way to keep it tbh Brgds Richard

I'd say this one is broadly equivalent. Newly serviced too! Would need clutch at some point tho.

That's a good way of doing things and makes sense! How much are they in France? In Greece where I have family, the cheapest equivalent is over 60k EUR which is madness!

Houses are overated and don't make broom broom noises !! Lool

Many thanks sir! Yep the 4.3 and gearbox combo is virtually indestructible. It's really surprising to see how reliable they are and the more you use them the better they are for it. There's literally nothing on my car that doesn't work. If I could I'd jump into it tomorrow morning drive to Cape...

lol! They are terrible pics tbf

Forgot to say that I also got the top of the instrument panel fixed as the leather peeled away. This is a common issue with the Vantages.

Hi Phil, I couldn't take a picture to save my life sadly. These are the two latest pictures I have of the car. Second one is on the ferry from Corfu to Brindisi. God I'm going miss it.

Hello all, Hope you are very well. My partner decided to become pregnant (no idea how that happened ) so sadly the time has come to sell the Aston and put myself into an SUV/ estate of some description. A 2017 Jag F Pace seems to offer the best value I reckon. Anyway the Aston will have to go...

Weirdly I'm not on any Aston forum but I can only imagine that they'd look as kindly at people with a Maserati as an Aston. Kinda similar brands aren't they? Interesting cars that don't have the broad market appeal of a Porsche and aren't up there with the Ferraris / Lamborghinis. I was...

Quick update on the little Aston, I've had it for about a week - in that time it's driven about 500 miles and as expected there's a few little issues but overall I'm really happy with it. It's had a fresh MOT - no advisories! I've put it in today for a 4 wheel alignment and all wheel balancing...

Thanks to all for the kind words, I am really rather excited. I'm sure you all already know but Dean has been properly open throughout all the discussions. From a buyers perspective I think that's what closed the deal, we all know that these cars are a gamble in many ways - more so when buying...

Can't wait Dean! I'm going to be in Greece for a month this July / August - so the first thing that will be done to get it ready for the trip. Also maybe getting the MOT done early might be a good idea just in case I get stuck out there! Apologies for talking about an Aston on a Maserati forum!

Ha! It's one of those funny life moments, I've been looking at 3200GT's and V8 Vantages. I suppose I should rush to the AM forum to find a lovely Maserati. Many thanks for the welcome!
