Clarkson goes moggy over the Vantage Roadster...

[jus]

... and picks it over a host of serious exotica, including the GT3, R8, 599 and LP640 in his latest DVD.

Sums it up well, may not be the quickest but is the best (well second best), (IMO is slightly better when it has a roof).

Agreed. The hard top is still the best, most beautiful and resolved styling of any car IMO.

Tad confused when he tries to emphasise the engine being Welsh, is it not a Jag engine which is infact built in Astons plant in Germany ? I believed it to be the Volvo engines which were built in Wales?

Not sure what he means but you're right... the engine is based on a modified Jag block, and the other bits are all Aston specific from what I understand. And as far as I can recall it is assembled in their engine plant in Germany.
