We speak with three people who believe now is the time to buy the car you always promised yourself, and enjoy it while you can -
is a fine GT and an undeniably beautiful car; it has a more spacious, more sumptuous interior, and – its trump card – it has that wonderful 5.9-litre V12 engine. The V8V is more than decently quick, even the early 4.3, but the big twelve is on another level: utterly effortless performance with a soundtrack that’s positively symphonic.
And that was the other thing in the Vantage’s favour: all early V8Vs are manuals when the vast majority of DB9s are autos with paddles: manual Nines are like hen’s teeth and command a substantial premium today. And I really liked the idea of a manual gearbox. While the shift in the Vantage isn’t the best – blame the remote linkage to the rear-mounted ’box – it does give you another tangible connection to the car, and its heavy, mechanical feel is evocatively redolent of Astons of the past.
The asking price was £32,850, so with the kind of brutal haggling that Alan Partridge would have been proud of, I hammered John McGurk all the way down to £32,500. He didn’t stand a chance. But a service and fresh MOT would be included and John offered to refurb a wheel that had a slight nerf to the rim. I was happy with that.
