OK, it's pretty obvious that this is shares most everything with the Jaguar XK8, I think the design has aged beautifully. I'm really curious as to how well this holds up for him. I didn't know that they lifted the interior door handles straight from the Mazda Miata? The write up gives a decent breakdown of what he's going to have to fix, but check out the video to watch him get immediately stuck in the snow.

 

Yep, his was the cheapest in the country until I bought mine a few days ago... His is a stick shift though, which is probably worth more $$$. I wanted the bulletproof GM transmission, with no clutch to replace...

 

Yeah, I imagine the manual makes it worth more — and more hassle for upkeep. Congrats on your new Aston!
