my old man had one of the first 40 to come off the line (circa early '95)

Still remember it sitting in the B&Q car park [/quote]
On the back of the MMC flatbed?

It was well acquainted with it


Ref parts bin scavaging, is Citroen CX door mirrors fitted to a McLaren F1 acceptable?

Noooooooooo, that just means the Griff 500 had McLaren F1 door mirrors

F1 had Elan indicators on it too didn't it?

Anyway, sorry for the drift. I think in coupe for the DB7 is nice but not breath taking - even less so minus the roof.

Horses for courses but I'm thinking parts bin parts will still be fitted by high labour mechanics so it could end up being a pricey endevour. What sort of mpg do they get?

The real question is, can it ever shaken the XJS and Mondeo switches stigma..

MX-5 inner door handles too - my old man had one of the first 40 to come off the line (circa early '95), and had so much bother, it got sent back to Bloxham as an example to the staff how bad the first batch were....

Still fcuking beautiful it was in silver though, but was a nightmare for MMC and poor old George Paterson

I always forget that was your dad

Liked his cars....ah those were the glory days of MMC. Was speaking to someone ref George yesterday - old Bob still works down at Graypaul, George is happily in France with his caravan

On this I-6, the 5 speed manual is a nice box and preferable to the GM 4-speed auto.....

Now this comment really surprises me!!

If you drive anything with a 4-speed auto now (GM or otherwise) they feel very very old. The five speeder clutch was heavy but nothing compared to a proper Aston - V8 Vantage (the old school badass 550bhp monster) was the heaviest - what a car tho

Save a grand for fuel and buy a 456.

He still is my Dad Graeme Still going strong, and still has the old Conti, after he took the huff at Roger's trade-in offer against a DB9 Volante a few years back

I'll mention George to him - what a true gent

I second that, George is such a nice guy, hope he's enjoying his retirement. Tell him I was asking after him if youre in touch with him Graeme

I shall, he was my tutor back in the day.... sales skills of legend. "Are you of funds for this car sir?"
