In a moment of fiscal stupidity I ordered a new AMV8 (won't be delivered until 2005), anyone done the same? I just couldn't resist after seeing the press pictures!

Me too. From Stratton Motor Company in Norfolk - the best AM dealer in this country by a mile, and, I'm reliably told, more likely to get you one sooner than the other dealers.

I think they were talking in the region of £60k.

Not bad for an AM, but a feck of a lot for a Mondeo [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img] .

Get it right AM, please.....

According to this week's Autocar the DB8 is "tipped to cost £78k". Plus mucho optional extras I assume.

Did anyone see the DB8 on Top Gear? What a beautiful car and if it's true that there will be 450bhp turbo version it will be able to be "upgraded"!! Role on 2005.
