V8V Roadster

[AdamV8V]

In attempt to (a) be able to post a pretty picture on the "non black / grey / silver thread" and (b) feel the wind on my hair whilst I still have some, I'm looking to potentially change my Tungsten V8V for a 4.7 Roaster.

This one in particular has caught my eye: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2959577.htm

I have been to see the car and, according to the dealer, the previous owner is serial Aston owner and currently has an "S" Roadster. I was wondering if it's another PH'er, or if anybody knows the previous owner.

Always nice to know the provenance of a car and, of course, be aware of any 'history'. For the record, there's no reason to suspect there's anything untoward.

Any encouragement would be also gratefully received - it's a lot of £££

well picture 1 and picture 3 show a different seat colour! In picture one you can see the seat backs through the windscreen and it looks black / dark. Very different to the interior in picture 3. Probably a dealer using library pictures but would put me off even viewing

Yep, also clocked that one and inquired before I went to see it.

Car was originally all blue leather ex-factory. The dealership has the seats re-trimmed in sandstorm because it's basically an easier colour combination to sell.

Obviously better if it was always like this, but I much prefer the sandstorm seats. Just wish they'd done the door inserts at the same time.

I was thinking it could be Mikey K's old car Adam, but wrong colour.

Pretty good spec on it matey

That was my first suspicion too. Would have been a bonus for sure.

Might need a new battery though, the way he goes through them

Nice spec but not my first one.
It is later, manual, black and cream interior with a lood of other different options.
I guess is has no roof and the sport pack so that is the same

This is the first time i hear something like that!!

And to be honest, it doesnt sound right... It just costs too much to re-trim the seats. They would have been better of with the original colour just maybe reduce the price a bit...!
