I'm starting to like Aston Martins a lot!
Have I hit 'that age'?

No, mate. The new design language is just less refined than it used to be.
If I had the money not sure where I'd go through, V12 Vantage, Vanquish or Cali T. Nice dilemma to have though.
I think Vanquish may just nudge it. But then the Cali T is a Ferrari.......

You'd be a squeeze in a Vantage. I'd say Vanq or the Cali T.

It was a bit of effort getting into yours. But once in I was fine. But that's most cars for me I guess.
I'll worry more when I have a 100 grand to spend on a car.

Agreed. This convertible is just stunning.

Isn't it just. The entire body is carbon, did you know? What a way to travel. I'd like a blue one, but for some reason hardly any were made. AM uses some Fezza colours, so I'd want TDF Blue.

I would struggle by with the black. Didn't know that body was carbon. I imagine it shifts a bit then.
There is a blue coupe up for sale though at Aston Martin Cheltenham.

That's the kiddie! Just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
Anyone want to buy an IT company specialising in media and entertainment?

Ultramarine Black is sparkly blue in the sunlight (the clue is in the name) and flat blue under cloud and black at other times and is the best colour being an Aston special tri-coat pearl. No colour is bad though and most work best with the carbon roof exposed along with CF mirrors and strakes (which are all options).
Onyx and Carbon Black cars are almost dealer specified cars as they are considered safe for resale and nearly always have boring black interiors on the coupes.
Vanquish with secondary cats removed sounds the same as the Vanquish S for a lot less money (and looks more tasteful). Try and budget for a later 8-speed car rather than early 6-speed (though the 6 is still great).
Body is fully carbon (but car is still overall heavy). The boot lid is apparently the most complex single piece of carbon fibre manufactured. They are very user friendly to drive but can be a beast when required.

Neither did I......but prefer ignorance as that was bliss!
this literally made me laugh out loud!
and coincidentally, it's the exact right criteria I'd say. if you need back seats, the GranTurismo is where it's at. if you don't, the V12V is one of the most awesome cars, nearly bar none. had one in triple digits in a 35mph stretch of twisties down in Carmel a few years back -- was mind altering.

I bet that’s fun to drive at 550hp! Love the colour combination on yours too.

Got to drive my first Aston yesterday. Was very nice indeed.

Wish it had been the one parked outside the event I was at there though.
