Got to say I think this is, on balance, possibly the best car AM have produced since... well, a long time ago.

Autocar's review here:

Sutcliffe is a man I admire and it all sounds absolutely fantastic. Is there a more complete sports car for our roads? Looks, sound, go, grip, civility... I think it's unbeatable and I sorely, sorely want one.

Drove one today...
Suspension & gearbox are a big improvement..
Didn't feel much difference in performance to my N420 & the noise aint as cool as mine..
Hill hold assist & no 'creep' is a big step forward..
Is it worth 25k more than mine???? NO!!!

I'd probably go N420 and less money too TBH!

Viewed a V12V today, maybe an itch to scratch!

So was that the trade-up price?
