V8 Vantage on eBay

[Twin Turbo]

I've always thought buying a car on eBay would be far too risky. However, with waiting lists for the V8 Vantage around 3 years and not wanting to pay a premium there really wasn't much choice.

Only problem is, the car is yellow. Wouldn't have been my 1st, 2nd or even 3rd choice, but at least it should stand out.

I'm also concerned about the size. As it's the baby Aston, I just hope its not too small.

I'm expecting delivery next week.

I'll report back once it's here :)

It's big enough for action man though, isn't it?

I had the car delivered this morning. It really is much smaller than I thought, although the yellow paintjob suits it rather better than I had expected.

Mine came without the nasty bee-sting aerial and has had the chrome window surround deleted.

It also sports some fantastic (Hot) wheels. A sort of double five spoke jobbie (think BMW M6....only nicer). Much better than the standard wheels.

And when it grows up it wants to be a real V8 Vantage
