I love those seats, the car looks fantastic!

I wonder if the alcantara was an option or after market?

Aftermarket retrim along with steering wheel. Pretty sure this wasn't a factory option.

Yes, this was my old car.

The alcantara was not a factory option. I got a secondhand steering wheel and had it retrimmed and thought the car would look better with a few other alcantara touches. The seat covers were from carnewal (if I remember correctly). All the original leather seat pads and wheel were sold with the car.

Any questions feel free to ask.

I also had a set of Oz allegeritta alloys for it which will be going up for sale soon if anyone is interested.

If it's the one at Aston Martin in Wilmslow I drove past this afternoon as they seems to be washing it (or at least drying it off) on the forecourt, which seemed odd for an Aston main dealer...

Hi sj yes I have bought the beautiful beast!
She's a credit to you absolutely stunning!
Thanks for sending on the servicing receipts & mots etc to the dealer that really helped.
I am now tip toeing around getting used to the power and waiting for this weather to improve.
Le Mans classic is on the list next year (done the 24hrs for the last 2 years)
Regarding the centre of gravity set up (which is great by the way on the roads) when did you have it done?
Also may be interested in the OZs you have - pm me if you prefer
Cheers Rich

Cheers guys for the comments!
What a great and exclusive club to be in eh!
Been hankering after a GT2 for ages, looked at a few and this one (SJ's car) blew me away.
Fantastic condition, very low miles and the factory fitted carbon pack was just the icing on the cake!
Am really looking forward to the never ending winter to finally go and put some (very careful)miles on her!
Its been 4 years since my last 911 ownership (Guards Red 1989 SSE 64K miles) and you can't beat them!
I have a wedding to attend at Lake como Italy - thinking of taking the GT2 for a nice run out, what do you think guys?!?
