You’d get an F12 in TDF Blue, but you’d be nowhere near an F12 TDF!!! I remember seeing this one at Carrs of Exeter, it was £100 shy of £1m in 2017, but they’ve softened slightly and are now around £900k, madness really.

Currently selling for over USD 1½ million in the US, apparently.

I defy anyone to drive a Ferrari V12 and Aston V12 of the same era on the same day and prefer the Aston. But if wife says no, divorce is considerably more expensive......

Maybe. I dropped my Vantage off for winter hibernation this week, parked it behind a Macca 765LT that had also just been dropped off. It was the Aston that got the comments about what a beautiful car, sounds wonderful etc. Mrs Crud, who had decided to come along for the ride, was pleasantly surprised. There's a lot of love for Astons, and public perception makes the ownership experience far more enjoyable.

@Scaf, a Vanquish would suit you well. Volante or coupe, are you thinking?

Agree, a Touchtronic 3 Vanquish on a 65 plate onwards is beautiful and looking decent value again now after the Covid price spike.

I don't disagree at all. Many Astons are truly stunning to look at and ownership experience and pleasure comes from many different angles. Owning something beautiful is entirely valid. I suspect many of he classics, especially restored to better condition than when they left the factory are disappointing to drive. Not that I am in the market but if I came home in a Mclaren 765LT or any Lambo my wife would refuse to go out in it! Non issue with an Aston! I just think that Ferrari make the very best V12 front engined GTs, whether 550s, F12s, 612s at under 150k. As RG says, the mark 2 Vanquish is now looking very good value well under 100k.

Your comment on your wife’s view on Maclaren / Lambo, add in anything with “ridiculous doors” and she is very aligned to Mrs Scaf.

I have very fond memories of my Aston DB7 vantage volante - a Vanquish or DBS are right up there at the top of my list.

Mrs Crud was commenting only last night how little we actually know about each other. I said shite, that's not true. For example, I know that you are great at drawing @Scaf's face on an egg, @conaero struggles with gin (since a diplomatic incident in France) and @Zep is **** at riding a bike. She rolled her eyes.

Women, eh?

You're right, further to this, other nuggets of info are @Andyk is not Welsh @philw696 has a Tory twin and @MarkMas is actually a dyslexic barrowboy from the east end of London...init.

I made the last one up.
