Evening all, I’m considering picking up a used V8 Vantage as a garage toy to enjoy with the missus on European road trips with friends / the odd ring/spa trip/Sunday drive once I’m in the new pad. I’ve driven various and done plenty of research so I’m okay on that side of things. Just wondering if there’s any current or ex owners on here with any points of view? I’d probably go for the Ricardo engine 4.3 over the 4.7 to be honest for reliability and definitely. a manual. I know clutches are weak points. I’d be looking to get a decent clutch etc. cheers,
Lovely cars whichever you choose - just make sure you don't get a money pit. Here's my financial black hole.
