The point of resurrection
Discussion
Right things need putting to rights with the new season now apon us.
I've seen several local Aston's reappear from there wintery slumber, which to be honest has just irritated me in to action, so a few questions
if I may please.
Although previously spoilt with my V12V and after disregarding the classic route I feel the need to expose my hideous form with a Roadster
simply for a change.
I've narrowed my search down to an unregistered N420 manual in Quantum with all the associated bells and whistles, so firstly are they any good?.
I should say at this point I don't fancy the ASM 2 thank you, so have ruled that one out of the equation.
Is the colour a pain to keep looking nice and hopefully swirl free or is it just another nightmare in the making like the many blacks?.
Are the lightweight seats likely to prove painfully uncomfortable for my athletic 6'2" and 16 stone mountain of rippling blubber?
Although 80% sure that I like the thing are there any bewares I should know?,so I''m going to let you wisdom filled wonders put me right. Thanks Ed.....

The sports seats seem to attract polarised views, I personally think they look fantastic. Can't comment on comfort though!
Worth checking (if you haven't already) that your height doesn't mean the top of your head interacts with the roadsters roof lining. I am sure similarly statured folk will be able to comment.
Quantum sounds like a great colour, and the exhaust note roof down will be

Quantum does show paint swirls as it is a dark finish, but unlike black it still looks ok when dirty, must be down to the tinge of brown matching the dirt anyway it is an awesome colour that suits the car well, and one of the most popular current new car colours.
N420 is a great car, but it is really just an option exercise rather than anything unique, but it does have all the sporty options as standard. The bucket seats are superb, they hold you in place far better than the standard seats allowing you to feel more part of the car on the twisty stuff, and also make the car feel more "special" ....but no side airbags and no airbag cutout switch, and no heated seat optio, which is nice in a Roadster.
Personally if you are buying new and unregistered I'd plug into the latest Vantage with the latest 12.5my spec, you will need to find a pre- specified car to get a good deal, but they will soon be popping up at your local friendly dealers.
Best of luck with the search, the Roadster is fabulous.
