The Aston Martin V8 Vantage was first introduced in 2005 as a successor to the DB7. It features a sleek and aerodynamic design, with a powerful V8 engine and a six-speed manual transmission. Under the bonnet, the Vantage is powered by a 4.3-litre V8 engine that produces 380bhp and 302 lb-ft of torque. It can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of around 175mph. The exterior of the Vantage is characterised by its low, wide stance and classic Aston Martin design elements, including the signature front grille and distinctively shaped headlights.

 This particular example was purchased new by our vendor in 2007 and was very tastefully specified in California Sage with an attractive dark green leather interior. The car has been used sparingly, having covered only 13,500 miles in the last 17 years. The car has always been particularly well maintained, with 12 main dealer service stamps and a further two from Bamford Rose, an independent Aston Martin specialist. Given the particularly low mileage and single enthusiast ownership from new, the overall condition of the car is understandably particularly impressive. Supplied to the auction with a large history file, MoT test certificate valid until April 2025, a V5C registration document and including the cherished registration number, this Aston Martin is one for the collector or discerning enthusiast who wants something a little different to the regular grey or black cars we so often see. Offered with no reserve. Consigned by Fraser Smith
