Really nice car - but not complete, sorry to say. I had a 2009 with a SportShift also and much preferred it over my 2007 with a 6-speed manual. But all the mods are fine, but don't forget the most important one, which will cost you about $25 and take 3 minutes of your time to complete. This mod consists of 4 polished parts that you strategically place in sight as you and your guest passengers enter the cabin. They can be purchased on E-Bay:

As soon as I sent the deposit on my current V12S last month, and all my previous Vantages - I ordered this accessory shown above (seat switch covers).

Great video! I really enjoyed every second!

I would love to get a meet and cruise here in FL together.

The white 4.7l mans trans, is that the one what went from Dallas to Albuquerque to a guy in CA who sold it basically right after purchase?
I think some forum sponsor grabbed the car after that.
However long story short, I was close to purchase that car when it was for sale in Albuquerque when was on the hunt but decided on my Vantage I own now.

Any reason or relevance for this post?

No real thought other than the switch covers make the interior a bit more finished than plastic switches - everything else is so nice - it's the cheapest upgrade thing you can do and takes a minute. That's all - I found out about this many years ago on this site - just sharing if your modifying your cars - even if your not.

Ksa is an unknown quantity at this point
The eBay link doesn’t work, is there another one? Do they just install on the regular switches and stick on with double sided tape?

Proud to be a part of this build, Jason. What a machine this turned out to be!

Looking forward to seeing this car out on track where it belongs.
