MC Victory up for auction in the UK

[Andyk]

I thought the V12 had dropped to less than that so maybe your right. Looks more like high 50's and 60k to get into one. I thought they were down to £50k.

Not seen one that low Dean.....Saw a very leggy one at 59k a few months ago but most are above 60k And been there for some time. They don’t show signs of slipping at the moment but then there wasn’t many sold and probably no more than 10 for sale at anytime in manual form so supply and demand.

 

[rockits]

No you are.right of course Mr AM

Maybe I was just wishing they were 50k!

 

[Andyk]

The 59k one is still for...White and I think 54k on the clock...Not the 54k is Leggy but in tears of V12 AM's most seem to be below 35k.

 

[rockits]

Bought my Vantage on 49k miles and already nearly on 51k.....enjoyed every mile with my eyes closed to the squeeky brakes.

Got new Porterfield pads to fit this weekend that hopefully will resolve that.

It feels much less likely to break than a Maser I feel though. Enjoying very much it so far so no temptation to change it for a while. Best steering on any car I've had so far by some margin.

 

[Wattie]

Can’t you copper grease the brakes? Atoms were horrendous without it.

Against my better judgement, Andy, I had a wander around Autotrader to see what hateful sort of price mine would fetch now. Happily, the advertised price has come down only around £10-15k in the last two years, but that’s partly because I got mine for a very good price, and partly because the market’s screwed. If I traded it I’d take a bath, but I have no plans in that regard just yet. The Vantage is a wonderful car.

Still, it’s an interesting comparison with the MCV which shows far more shallow fluctuations.

Tried different paste's and some 3m pads just seems the OEM Pagid pads have common squel issues and generate lots of dust. The Porterfield R4S seem the best option by all accounts. I'll find out later as will fit them this arvo!

 

[Andyk]

Prices do seem to be all over the place though Adam.....V12 and V8....and very sensitive to miles.

Yes, true. Mine’s on over 10k miles now, up about 7k miles from when I got it. If the market wasn’t screwed I’d think about swapping it before it gets into the teens, but the cost isn’t worth it. I’ll maybe have a look after the winter, but it’s so much fun to drive I’d miss it, wherever I went next.

Well I know what I’d rather drive Mr Fc and I take my hat off to you.
Enjoy.

Whilst I was sent the details on the Audi A4 Avant,they also sent me:

Which I immediately ruled out as
1, the hedge trimming was poor.....my Mrs could trim that hedge better than that.
2 the car felt it needed “Aston Martin “ across the boot....what? The cheap ones don’t even shout that!
3. It was way to cheap,......and I was insulted.

Luckily I also hate red.

Reminds me of a nasty rash I got from a girl called Martina.

 

[D Walker]

I do normally, but I could live with that.....easily.

 

[safrane]

Saw the ASTON MARTIN script the other day and thought it was down to someone having some extra RANGE ROVER lettering left over!.

PS, glad you qualified your wifes hedge trimming skills to the one in the car photo!
