The black 3 litre 75 I owned some years back was one of the best cars I've owned, uprated suspension, a few goodies inside, different exhaust (can't remember the brand now) and the rest was just great stock. I remember driving to an Aston Martin specialist once to see a S4 Spider with my wife. We took the Spider for a test drive and I was so disappointed after the 120 mile trip in my 3 litre. I asked the Aston chap to come drive my 75 and he immediately agreed that i wouldn't get the same satisfaction, despite the appeal of wind in the hair motoring.
