Our collection: 1962 MGA, 1958 TR3A, 1979 Spitfire 1500 preservation project, 2006 AM Vantage...

Great collection, I had no idea they murdered the spit 1500 with mgb style rubber bumpers. How do you get on with the Aston, I am vaguely shopping for one

Lovely collection, pity about the US spec bumpers the you have to suffer, the Spitfire looks overwhelmed.
TRA3 for me is the pick.

Great thanks, they are a treasure and provide great therapy and fun. I actually enjoy this bumper on the Spit, it is uncommon and often the underdog but it also lengthens the Spitfire nicely. The Vantage is a dream. An entry vehicle but I wouldn't be able to afford the upper level AMs. A collector in Chicago was letting her go and I found all the colors and transmission I wanted with only 13k miles on it. They are all nice cars but I catch myself just standing and staring at the Vantage, like looking at art.

Best, M.

Some great cars you have...love vintage, but that Vantage is a modern classic 👍

Totally agree. I always like the V8 Vantage from The Living Daylights and this model is the modern version. It would be cool to have the two side-by-side.

An employee (not me, I was WFH and was reading the news) of the car dealer spun at high speed and crashed into a tree.

Summer tires maybe. Hope the driver is okay. The car not so okay.

The boss of this car dealer employee is probably very happy at the moment

Driverv is okay, don't know whether he still has a job at the dealership.

Plenty of stories about car crashes where someone at the dealership is taking it out for a spin and feels over confident.

Don't you mean not happy or did you say happy because of cashing in on the insurance of a € 3 mln car?

Well I meant not happy. But I have this brain damage which triggers sarcasm regularly. Sorry

S’okay, just one of posh Fiats.
I once had to pick up a modified Mitsi evos to bring into the garage, 800ish bhp, not sure which worried me most, the acceleration or the way the fuel gauge dropped!
