Corking car John :thumbsup:. But what a price :shocked:.

Less than a similar quality Dino - I spent three years researching and trying to find a really good Dino for a sensible price (and in the process became richer as I was letter of the month in Classic Cars and won a nice $400 pen!) but there were so many that were just not quite right- sometimes it was the car sometimes the vendor. If Nick Cartwright had one for £100k that was perfect I'd have bought it, but first his stock dried up for a long time and then his prices kept being just too much for me.

I'd seen a blue 1984 Vantage at Bramley a year ago and it is beautiful. I stopped by a couple of times and it hadn't been sold. Then I asked again and it was clear that a deal could be done. Then I thought, sod it, let's go and buy the best car I can find in budget and hence the Volante. It cost a shade over £110k which is no steal.

At Classic Cars at the NEC I was browsing through the book vendors and found my car as the cover car on a book on Vantages - Which was nice.

Blimey... had forgotten how good they look in dark colours. Saw loads (ish) of red ones in the 80's. :thumbsdow This is much nicer. :dude:

About 400bhp, or any X-pack trickery upto 580?

X pack only gets you to about 410bhp on a pre-1990 vantage. The 580X is the later Virage shaped vantage that's a muscle car too far even for me.
 
Coolest car i've seen for ages-a proper motor :dude:
manual box too:thumbsup:(or were all vantages man?)
Enjoy but be considerate with the throttle near small children:laugh:

A report on mine would be easy:
- drove car about feeling a bit like Nelson after the Battle ofTrafalgar would have done if he hadn't been dead and pickled in a barrel of Madeira;
- Ooh, scary brakes;
- bought battery conditioner,
- Plugged it in,
- it snowed,
- the car stayed in garage.
Spent many happy hours perfecting my history file and pouring over trips for 2010 - and contemplating the fact that I currently have two Aston Martins - a curiously therapeutic pastime.
