Love it, although to be fair... maybe Dean is itching to drive a three cylinder Suzuki Zwift!

Here’s my Cooper S with a Limited Slip Differential on the back axle, a decat race exhaust and a supercharged 1.6 engine... I see your Japanese 3 stroke and I raise you

Need to know more about the LSD on your back axle surely she's not rear wheel drive ?

You may laugh but the Swift got an honourable mention by Chris Harris on his 'Collecting Cars' podcast. He was discussing that supercars are so extreme in power etc that you cannot use 'all of the power, all the time' he then said, 'you could have more fun in a Suzuki Swift'.
So, there you go, a Chris Harris recommendation for my A25 commute.

Cheers! It’s a 2014 Vantage v8 S with the sport shift 2. 14,000 miles and still under AM warranty for a year. I know the interior is not to everyone’s liking but I think red is the nicest interior on exotic cars.

Au contraire, the red is the nuts. Congrats on buying the next best car to Rockits.

A deep red interior looks superb on dark / black cars. Well done, classy choice, that. Enjoy and report back lots on how you get on.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.......Love the interior...There is a silver one at an Aston dealer with the same interior and I would love it. Silver vents look good on the bonnet also. So many black it's nice to see something different. The S is getting rare and I'm Amaxed at the price difference from the cheapest to more expensive. Enjoy as I'm sure you will.

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!

SOLD & DEPOSIT RECEIVED.

Subject to balance payment and collection this weekend. So glad it is going to someone who is going to use it often and more than I would have done the next year. Also seems it will get a lovely international run soon as well.

Not many sell that quick Dean...Well done my friend. Bring on the V12 Vantage. Lovely red S for sale at an Aston dealer on Autotrader at 72k ;-)
