I assume "an ending" is based on the Clarkson video
I guess. I nearly bought that car from Grange Welwyn in October last year. Deal fell through.Got this one from JCT600. Its an AM press car, 2010/59 with only 900mi, at an absolute stunning price and works prepared!
It's going back in next week to have the louvres painted up. Its AM titanium with an all-black interior.

Given the Clarkson article the other week, have you asked pointed questions about other press cars having the same keys/alarm fob codes?
Yeah, guess you could lose sleep over it. I think if someone lifts off with the car and I have both keys its one for the insurance and lawyers to sort out as possible culpable negligence by AM. Personally, I'm more concerned about the t**t who scuffed the nose of my V8 with their big 4x4 wheels and left a tread mark on my wheel arch before buggering off without a note. Bas**rds!
On Clarkson, I wouldn't listen to everything he says. Last week he critisised that the pedals of the Rapide were too close together. I think they are the same layout as every other Auto V/H Aston. Perhaps his feet got bigger?

Are you getting the bonnet grilles painted? How much are they charging for that?
Suprisingly just over a couple of hundred quid!I have not seen it yet in the flesh (away on business)but the painter was JCT's regular body-shop repair specalist and I'm told it looks superb in the flesh. They have done a number of them apparently.
It certainly tones down the agressive look of the bonnet from a distance - whether others think that is good or not is for you to decide. For me, anything but carbon fibre there would be an inprovement.

Looks great, by the way.
