That's lovely! I am aware the next 2 minor points don't matter given the soundtrack .....

...... the Vantage badge isn't straight and the paint looks like it could do with Tangoing

Presume it's not the V12?

Either way, very nice purchase. Been through many tunnels yet?
Thanks for all the the comments.

I've been driving a Civic diesel for over two years so thought it was time to treat myself.

Its an 06, so 4.3 V8. Has a number of options and just 8750 miles when I picked it up. Previous owner of it traded in for a new V12....well out of my league in therms of £'s. Full AM dealer history and warranty.

Definitely needs a good polish. It was "valeted" by AM in Cambridge but needs a thorough clay bar treatment.

Took it through the short tunnel at Baldock at the weekend, sounded fantastic, fuse 22 already removed

THAT'S THE WRONG ONE!!!!!!!

Fuse 23 is the exhaust one.

Fuse 22 is the one that holds the door onto the car electronically

You had better stop driving it immediately and I'll come and pick it up and sort it out for you.

It will take me a couple of weeks and I am booked up for a while.

I can get it back to in September

To be fair all the paintwork on ones we looked at was a bit suss - I think it's pretty soft. Make sure you get a good valeter that has some experience with them!

They can do more damage than good!
