Just look at it:

But, I've got the next best thing, to me anyway!

Those wheels on the Vantage are the same as the 007 car....absolute masterpieces.

If the new Vantage had better headlights it would be near perfection. The side profile is jaw dropping...and the rear view is just as good as the F-Type's

Look up the review of the 2019 model by thesmokingtire on youtube. Both videos are worth a watch. For me the the interior seems a bit lacking at its price point; i find it reminiscent of a camaro interior.

It's not a Camero interior, not even close. Some aspects are not quite as nice as the previous generation Vantage, but its still pretty nice.

2016 Morgan 3W, E-Type Jag and MGB all make me happy, for different reasons.

I prefer the classic look. Thinking about going used...

My first car was a Triumph Herald - a nice little car- nothing that special but it was my first time!!
In later years, I really enjoyed my TR6 though I never could get the twin Solex carbs to stay in synch for too long.
More recently, my wife owned a 1979 Fiat Spider that was fun but was also a PITA. One year it never ran at all!!
Changing the subject slightly, my question is what to drive after I eventually sell the F-Type?
What car is as much (more) fun without going price ballistic?

Er, what was special was the extremely tight turning circle on the Herald - at full lock you risked pushing the tyres off!

I recently got a Audi TT MkII 3.2 V6 that has an aftermarket turbo kit, MT... This was because my wife gave up her Civic SI Stick for a VW ID.4 electric, and missed a car with a MT. Well, she won't drive this because it is 'too fast'! But I love it, and I *swear* it is faster than my 996TT. (Not faster than the FType, heaven forbid)... I have the suspension a bit tuned up, lowered a bit etc, and 19" wheel... it is a great little go cart for sure.
