      The non-supercharged Virage did get quite cheap but I don't think that these Vantages every dropped below £90k or so.
      XJ220s were down at around £100k too.

    Have been looking for Clarkson’s “poetic violence” and “… get on their knees and thank god…” quotes for years. I knew he said those words, and that they had to exist in some form or another somewhere on the net. But years of googling failed to locate them.
    Now at last, here they are, together in the same feature that begins with the green shutters - just as I remembered. Excellent.
