I would be fearful of an Aero of that age. How has it been driven?
The gearbox is a week point for all that torque. Traction control is
another problem. A bit more costly in fuel and insurance. But of course
it has the glamour of the Aero tag and power corrupts :-) But probably
not much different in daily driving than my LPT.
