Another really informative video and some fun one-liners in their to boot...great stuff 👍🏻
Hi guys
Mike and his team have just upgraded my n420 with a light fly wheel , de cat and mid hi flow cat .
It’s turned my car into a very responsive and fast beast of a car ,and can’t thank them enough for there advice and service .
Defo the best decision for this model. Opted for a switchable exhaust mode which is amazing for early morning starts not to scare the neighbours , but for me is open 99% of the time ,wow !!
This is now the car of my dreams and turns heads at every press of the loud pedal . Fast as fook too !!
Many thanks to the team ..
My V12V Carbon Black is a keeper i just love these cares.
I still regret selling mine
im justing in the process of buying one, never had an Aston before !
Another great video.
One point. You referred a couple of times to the lightweight seats in the V12 as the sports seats. They are not. The seats in the V8 AMR are what Aston Martin call sports seats not comfort seats as you called them. The bucket seats in the V12 are called lightweight seats by Aston Martin.
Myself and the other V12 Vantage owners that I know consider the lightweights as more comfortable than the sports seats andfar more in keeping with the character of the car.
Many thanks and I look forward to your next video.

Love my 2010 MY V12V! You’re bang on - understated, class and a great package out of the box - can’t get enough of it so it’ll probably be one of the higher mileage ones!
You do right mate, when I get my Aston Martin she will be getting driven and I will enjoy every single mile. Frig values or electric acceleration
Dear Sir, I'm considering getting a 2010 V12V at 45k Km for $77k. Needless to say, I'm in love with the aesthetics. But dont want to be blinded by them. How's your experience been? Do I go for it?
Thanks Mike great video, you're not hanging about there are you, when you say fit a sportspack rear damper to improve the floaty back end are you meaning the 'S' BG33-18W002-AB or the earlier 'sportspack' 8G33-18W002-ED?
Excellent video. Any tuning tips for an early Rapide? Exhaust? Brakes? Other? Using it as a daily and did 4000 km last month. Anything I should watch out for?
Dear AMR owners please apology for my sincere approach on the V8V AMR-disappointment. Actually I don't understand why AM sold the AMR (the last almighty limited edition V8V) with only a cosmetic effort: same engine output, the brakes are the non-floating-disk (?!), so what really matters on the last special V8VS didn't happen. It should have been released with more power + V12V ceramic brakes ..and then yes! ..what a special car it could have been.
The N400 was an excellent demonstration of what limited series AM should be: introduced the sport suspension and brought more power. Thank you Mike we know it was you.
The SP10: an excellent example of an AM special edition to celebrate race victories and the AM 100 years: great interior, proper brakes floating-disks, brought back the manual gearbox to the V8 4.7. What a fantastic car! It was you Mike?..thanks.
N430: great car but they forgot the floating-disks (?!)…on a the V8V sports version? I cannot believe it..
GT8: I don´t really get it too. It´s an SP10 with a nice body kit and firmer/sporty suspension setup. The sp10 floating disks are back in the GT8 ..but again no ceramic-brakes and where is the real power output?
V12V: perfection. What a car! Carbon black Edition is astonishing;
Having said that, please allow me to add another point to Mikes opinion - in a collectors perspective: Two AM, AMR V8V and V12 are definitely not sufficient. IMHO , 3 is the right number: N400 + SP10 or V8VAMR + V12V, of course - if money is not a concern.
Liked your comment at the end. I purchased GT8, 2017 V12SM and have 2013 V12 Roadster. Think I've covered some bases.
You could say that! 😂 Which is your favourite?
Another great insight Mike thank you. Must agree, £70k for aV12 Vantage, enough to make you want to sell the Mrs, the Dog and Bentley
great comparison ,,,,i wonder how mush power gain can be obtained on v12 vantage by replacing manifolds and down pipes, and any idea on how to make engine rev higher ?
Love that interior
I'm considering a 2001 DB7 vantage Volante 6-speed or a 2005 DB9 automatic Coupe. Any thoughts on which direction to go? Both gorgeous cars but very different. I'm really torn. Both have excellent service histories. DB9 is one owner with full service history from the dealer. Only issue is tires have about 30% left. The DB9 is only slightly more expensive than the DB7.
Does bamford has any differential upgrades to end the annoying 1 wheel powerslide caused by the useless viscous aston martin one?
I love that comment. Just buy both.
could you make a video on the V12 Vantage Roadster (101). Would love to get more info on that model.
Yes. That would be interesting. I have a 2013 Roadster V12 which I paid ~75k with 12.5km on the clock. I think it's hit the bottom of prices. Mine is number 81/101 in Skyfall silver, red calipers, red stitching.
The Vantage AMR at 1:24 is our one!
THEY MAKE THE MANUAL AMR CARS IN LEFT HAND DRIVE!!! I've been looking for a left hand drive example since this car debuted in 2016. Now I just have to make enough to afford one and haul it across an ocean.
Very interesting would you know what impact the up rated manifolds and 200 cell secondary car have on the insurance if any?
No difference on mine through Alan and Thomas brokers on a Zurich policy (2010 V12 with BR manifolds and sports cats)
Thanks Mick for all your info makes owning an Aston a working man's untenable be come the abtenble
As long as it has a clutch pedal. Buy either
Vantage AMR owner's wife: -
"What time d'you call this? I wish you'd never bought that bloody car!".
Vantage V12 owner's wife: -
"Your dinner's in the dog - again! At least I know you don't have any time left for a mistress!".
(Yes, this IS sexist comment - but I don't care. And my wife also enjoys my DB9!)
😂😂😂
What I'd like to know is how anyone books their cars in for work like this given BR never reply to emails and never answer the phone.
1.25x made this a great video!
Sure just buy both.
Lmfao 😂😂😂
I am friends with Mr Martin and I can confirm that he stole your colour scheme out of jealousy.
