Way - I think you will enjoy it, a guy showed up for an appointment and took the DB9 coupe out for a testdrive. It was fun seeing it start up indoors.
Alex - the 550 spyder is a nice touch and there was a mint 356 behind the yellow V8 in pic #1. There was also an etype jag and a showroom condition lambo miura in the showroom.
The color in photo's doesn't always represent reality. The monte carlo blue V8 was like a crayola crayon blue with a nice cream interior. The yellow V8 was much nice in person than previous pics I had seen. Black interior with yellow stitching.
I sat in the Vanquish S, it was titanium with an incredible amount of metallic flake in it. It had a burgundy interior. That is the same color combo as my 928. It was not as low as my 928 nor as wide inside. I liked the analog guages. It had paddle shifters. The leather smell in the astons was better than any other i have come across.
The wood grain in the DB9 was amazing shown in pic #1. The service area had 2 Vanquish's, 2 Mercedes gull wings, along with some other rare stuff. My camera only can take certain number of pics.
I came away with the reinforced believe that the Vanquish is the 12 cylinder to get, and an improved view of the AM V8. It is a very impressive car in the right color. They are all works of art.
And I smiled when I got home and started my 928. Just as exotic looking, sounding, built(probably better) and road proven thru its first 22 years of existence and still in showroom like condition.

Don't know, I didn't look that close at it. I only saw prices on the V8's 127 K (what do non-US buyers think of that especially given the ridiculous pricing of the dollar) and I know the 356 had a price tag. Give them a call at 781-547-5959. I would think they would like to talk to someone, kinda like the maytag repairman.
Great pics racerx, thanx for posting The AMs are really elegant sportscars.
@ SimpleSkin: not only new Porsches but also the old ones seem to be so much cheaper in the US: in Germany a 550 Spyder in good condition would be traded at 800k Euros
