Would be easier if you tell us the cars that you don't own

I might wind up keeping my aston anyway as I've never had such difficulty spending 130k than I have trying to buy a new build for a porsche GT4...

FWIW-been following all for sale cars last 10+ months, It's very hard to find clean low mileage V8 Vantage with manual transmission. It's about time.. I think next few years we'll see prices climbing up slowly but rightly so.. Hope one day we can see the love like F-cars are getting now days...

Really? I imagine most of them are still on the road. What is low mileage to you?

for years, i always thought a proper sports car needed three pedals... the Aston ASM has changed my mind, (and the fact that after almost 40 years of driving having a third pedal can be a pain...)

with the article describing the younger generation wanting to step up, I'm surprised they even know what to do with a third pedal...

for me, it's more based on consistent use, based on time... I'd consider low mileage to be about 2,500 mi a year, spread out over time.

otherwise a car can suffer from garage rot
