AMV8 conversion to Vantage in 90s
Discussion
Has anyone seen this car and can tell me a little about it? What to expect and can it be ran as a semi-daily?
It woul be my first AM and first classic as well.

A friend of the family had about 5 or 6 of the old style Aston Martin cars at any one time, he probably had 12-20 in total.
Lovely but not reliable, they need a lot of TLC. If you have a great garage that will nurse maid the car then rock on.
But if you are used to modern 911 levels of reliability and refinement then look elsewhere.
I suggest that you test drive a number of these cars - don't fall in love at first sight!
Happy hunting!

You would be better asking the AMOC site......I would think very unsuitable than anything more than a summer weekend car.....classics can easily cost you 5-10k per year to keep on the road
me thinks you might me under estimating the mans profile Michael! michael gould said:
If you mean the OP has money Adam2S then I think my comment is still relevent.....that type of classic Aston is not suitable for an everyday (or as the OP asks, ever other day)car....lots of wealthy people dont want a bottomless pit of a car........its not the most attractive of classics
The man sells uranium and thrashes 911's!!! Driving a classic Aston every day is the least of his worries! (For what its worth I totally agree with your comments, I was just being daft)

There is a well researched / written book on the Aston V8's would be my starting point for anything like this. Look on Amazon for it - author is Willaim Priestland
Doubt even if the author would advise using something like that as a daily driver.
The book you are referring to, is called Aston Martin V8 and is written by William Presland.Doubt even if the author would advise using something like that as a daily driver.
