Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Part of the condition of sale was that it was serviced and inspected at an Aston approved service centre, as it was about due. So you'll be waiting a year :-)

I have also paid for the unlimited bumper-to-bumper extended warranty to avoid Dammit-style bills as it's only done 14000 miles in 8 years, so I reckon there's scope for a) teething troubles that need miles to expose, and b) things that go wrong if you don't drive a car enough.
