AMR Performance pack included the following - so a change in manifolds, exhaust system, rear diffuser and removal of secondary cats. http://www2.astonmartin.com/accessories/v12-vantage/dynamic

I concur ;)

Really delighted to read this Stuart - and great to see my old car being used as intended, having no issues and being properly enjoyed. Fantastic. You are indeed right - I used the car on three major trips; one to Scotland and two to Spain/Portugal which I'd very strongly recommend as your next...

That fly-by is magnificent :) This is the same exhaust as mine has - and also happens to be a superb SCD video; fast forward to 4 mins :)

Thanks Felonius. Yes - after over 9 months of looking, test driving both flappy and 7sp, and holding out for the "right" spec (for me), I moved on the Romans car which has mileage at a level that I will be able to enjoy many years of enjoyable driving hopefully! I thought very long and hard...

Hello Andy - hope you are well and many thanks. Most testers of the car recognised you needed to spend a bit of time in the car to fully gel with the box as its a 7sp dog-leg which takes effort. From my perspective, it was a major part of the reason for purchasing as I have to work at it and...

:) Don't forget the V12 Vantage S 7-speed manuals which, from memory, were mainly 2017 cars and captured all of the years of development/honing which had gone before it - including the AMIII. Delighted with my first few weeks of ownership - albeit itching for better weather! This deserves miles...

JMS - the below are still available and more than happy to discuss price. Even if you get a couple of winters use from them, then they will give you a sense as to longer term need for winters before committing £1k+ for a new set of tyres only. Michelin Alpin PA4 Winter Tyres 20" ; excellent...

Evening all - hope this is ok Moderator, but have just put these up for sale on the applicable thread/Forum area. Full set of Winter tyres (not wheels) and perfect time for purchase ahead of winter season. A1 condition with virtually no wear. Michelin Alpin PA4 Winter Tyres 20" ; excellent 2nd...

A complete set of Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4' Winter tyres in excellent condition and in Maserati recommended tyre sizes - 295/35R20 105W rears // 255/35R20 97W fronts. Always fitted/stored at Graypaul Nottingham, are in A1 condition, very limited winter miles and with 8mm tread on rears...

I suggest taking it on a substantive road trip relatively early in your tenure. It gave me a new appreciation for what the car could do on all types of roads and was far more of a test/enjoyable than using as a weekly driver as I did in the early years. Highly recommend Northern Spain/Portugal...

Many congratulations on the new purchase - they are epic cars and I never regretted my 5yrs of ownership once. Looks like an excellent positive domino effect stemming from me selling mine to Stuart :)

The closing of the triangle of Stradale trade :) - hope it goes to a lovely new home to further cherish it.

I plan on staying around as I've enjoyed the community spirit on here and the general willingness to share knowledge/support. Please don't post lots of Stradale videos though as I'll get upset at the loss of the epic V8 noise :0036:. Never mind - I've got first dibs back when/if Stuart ever...

What a lovely post and thank you Stuart. It was with very mixed feelings that I said goodbye to the Strad - but I know it's going to a splendid home where it will be really cherished. It's been a magnificent period of ownership over these past 5 yrs and the car has been epic, especially on the...
