V8 Vantage Roadster out already?

[maff]

Was driving through Maidenhead yesterday afternoon and spotted one driving the other way, Silver with black roof, looked rather nice but didn't think they had been launched yet?

Rather yummy

Yes, I saw one on Saturday in Earlsdon, near Coventry. It was the same spec - light silver with black roof. I think I prefer the lines of the coupe, but was curious to see a roadster out already...

No, the Roadster hasn't been launched yet so you probably saw one of the press fleet/demo cars. I'm going on the press launch next month and will have one for a week in April, so you can expect to see a handful on UK roads throughout the spring before customer deliveries commence. I actually think it's a beautiful car - the coupe is a stunner alright but I reckon the Roadster could be even better looking...

Got destroyed by one on the M6 north two sundays ago, I was doing 90 and he flew past like I wasn't moving! Looked lovely, not as nice as the coupe but still gorgeous.

General AM staff - marketing, sales, admin etc. spend a suprising amount of time in cars before launch just doing general day to day driving, commuting etc. in an attempt to flush out any undiscovered bugs. A nice perk! Pity they didn't find all the bugs that appeared in early Coupes!

I'm going to my local AM dealer on wednesday 28th February. This is for an exclusive preview of the V8 Vantage Roadster and V8 Vantage Coupe Sportshift. Hopefully I will be able to get sum piccies.

Received a preview invitaion from JCT600 for 19th March, for both roadster and coupe sportshift. States that they will just be static display only, test drives to follow.

Me to for Broughtons on Thursday!!

Went to view at factory, plus tour and then spec my car three weeks ago (arranged by Dealer) - you won't be dissappointed!

Invite previews of roadster and coupe sportshift start on Monday and continue into mid/late March, demonstrators arrive sometime in June.

However, if yours is one of the first you should already have been or, if not, then be just about to go to factory to spec.
