    I want one too...and they're fucking IMPOSSIBLE to find.

    At least...the 850CSi is. That's the only one that came with a manual transmission.

    There was a Dinan one on Ebay a while back. They claimed 500+ at the wheels and 200+mph. It sold for like 20 or 30k.

    Oh god I love the way these cars look too. I test drove one last year. Guy wanted 20k for it, it was a 97. I probably would have got it too, if it wasn't an auto. That.. and maintenance is insane on them. Had 42k miles on it. I think the guy still has it on his lot. I always see it driving around with the dealer tag on it.

    Ah, my favorite actor.

    That was an Aston Martin DB7 Volante though...

    EDIT: Oh wait, you mean when they're all meeting up with Stella for the first time? Yeaaa I think so. Good movie

    Yea, the only ones that had a manual transmission were the absolute top end ones with the V-12...the 850CSi.

    Yeah, I'd love to get my hands on one of those. I think the one I drove was an 840 or something.

    I saw one in a Robert Deniro film, I think it was the one with Edward Norton when they rob the museum. I think he drove one in the very beginning of Ronan too but I might be wong on that.

    Good car, good performing...two 325 motors and two ecu's..not a good idea. Still georgious. Great car to "mod" via Dinan twin turbo if you want some gigantic numbers.
