Well it......

Well it looks like I got one. 2007 Vantage V8 with 22,000 and one owner. It should be delivered in the next week. The good news is it has a new AMR twin plate clutch. Meteorite silver with a Merlot interior. Also a 6 speed manual.

I want to put some pictures on but the car still has not been picked up. At this rate I will be lucky if the thing shows up in the next 2weeks. I can’t wait.

Congrats! I'm also a new-to-me 07 V8VR 6 speed, Meteorite over black owner. It has 45k mi, but I definitely and knowingly took more of a chance than you did. It was a low E-Bay winning bid and with records only from the PO (including new VelocityAP dual clutch and lightened flywheel). I've had it for a week now and LOVE it, and am starting to drill into fixing some little issues. Hopefully there are no big ones!

if you're handy, the vantage is relativity easy to work on... lots of info, videos e.t.c.

@MRCW, Yes, the plan is to do minor fixes on my own. This site and Redpants are as helpful as rennsport and M3forums with great insights, which is why I felt comfortable taking the dive!

Same for me. I have been working on my cats since I was 16. Started with a Triumph GT6 in 1973. So I can do most things that need to be done.
