Thoughtful response and agree with a lot of it. Aston several rungs up the ladder from TVR though, they should have their own engine for it to be a real Aston. As you point out that finished long ago in reality!
Hmm, Honda make some of the most reliable engines in the business, and the precision and quality of the internal components is astonishing. Porsche engines, on the other hand… hmm.
I recognise you're writing style from Fchat.
Nice choice. I wondered whether it might be an FF. which spec did you go for?
It's this one.

The wheels will be changed to Silver, they look wrong currently, but everything else was right.
No privacy glass, Pan roof, Grigio Titanio over Sabbia (although it looks like silver in the photography, it's not it has a blue hue to it). Suspension lifter and it's not full of carbon fibre, which doesn't look right to me on these. It's much more suited to the mid engined stuff.
It's going to Joe Macari for an inspection on 25th July.
Congratulations, that’s a really lovely thing. Looks great as it is, but I think you’re right, silver wheels will perfect. The spec look looks like it would have likely had silver wheels originally, do you know whether they have been changed to grey in the past?It's this one.

They would likely have been diamond cut/grey or silver. They photograph better than they look in person.
Ah that’s fantastic news! I thought the FF was a brilliant car. What an engine. The engine is in another league to the Maranellos - and that’s saying something! And you get back seats. Congratulations and enjoy.
Totally with you. Those early VTEC engines were incredible. There was nothing like them. They just carried on going at a time when every BMW M had Vanos Disease when trying to do the same thing. And Honda never had IMS problems across two generations of premium sports cars..basically any non-Metzger 911 from 1997 until 2008 has a self destructing engine. If it had been an Italian company, it would have been a joke.
Yep, not good and would never buy one. Can only assume it was the transition to mass production that caused the quality issues in that period. Probably why the Mezger engines (no "t") didn't have the same issues as their origins are in racing and from the hand-built era.They seem to have sorted with the more recent engines. The 3.6 Varioram in my 993 runs at full pressure with 315bhp on a remap/100 cell cats/SCART exhaust combo at 97,000 miles. Had to spend £200 on new lower rocker cover seals recently, thats it.
. It used to be a real event just seeing and hearing an Aston. Not so much anymore.

The epitome of fragility…
Very true! It sounds and goes great though when working. Who knows how good it could have been with some development budget rather than money found down the back of the sofa.
