I've had my car one week now (Torre red 2012 V8VS one owner with 11,250 miles) and thought I'd post my thoughts. Incidentally, the car came with a comprehensive service history of everything that's been done (I have all the paperwork which is nice).

We (the wife and I) flew down to Saratoga CA to collect the car from a private sale. We drove home (via two nights in San Fran) to Seattle taking in some of highway 101 / 1, a few mountain passess and the freeway.

I was a bit hesitant about getting the sportshift as all my sports cars have been manuals, but I am totally sold on the sportshift. Once you get used to it, it seems so natural. The journey home was a blast and I'm smitten with the car. The exhaust noise is just incredible and I've succumbed to removing the exhaust fuse (15). The premium audio is really good too.

I took her to a car show this morning (http://www.exoticsat.com/gallery/) and the car got lots of positive attention.

She still has some extended warranty remaining and my local aston dealer has asked me to bring the car to them so they can check it out and also do an outstanding upgrade on her.

I've found myself going into the garage and just staring at the car.....beautiful.

Here are a couple more pictures.

we all know what its like to get the car home and walk into the garage to look admiringly at it - just like pinching yourself to check its true!

keep enjoying all they have to offer

Graze

 

Congratulations, that is a beautiful car!

 

She is a beauty, congratulations

 

Beautiful car.
My Volcano red 14' sure looks very similar to your Toro red beauty.
Are these reds very similar?
Being slightly red-green colorblind, subtle differences are difficult for me to differentiate.

 

I believe they are similar in that they both have a velvety sheen to them.

 

Do you know who manufactured the floor mats?
Very attractive

 

I thought they were stock. Hmm, no idea.

 

They are very attractive
Maybe their is a label on the back side

 

Oh boy what a beautiful Vantage, it looks like it is loaded with most all of the options. You will love it.

Love the stitchwork on the interior!

 

Lots of options on the car. The sticker price was $160k!

 

This is a nice one!! Btw, the floor mats are standard. However, the stitch work has to be specified, i.e., :="floor mat stitching to match seat stitching". I have the same thing but in yellow.

 

I ordered AM floor mats for my 14' from my selling dealer.
My interior is Obsidian without contrasting stitching.
The mats are black with black binding and grey heel pad.
There is a small AM tag on the outer edge.
Cost was over $500.
Can I order more attractive factory mats?

 

gorgeous, inside and out, even if it is missing a pedal
