The Appeal
The Vantage V8 had to be good, because it took the fight right to Porsche’s door. It was. Highly rated by reviewers and loved by customers, it also delivered where it mattered: on the tarmac. Whether twisting along B roads or power down the Autobahn the Vantage proved quick, agile and engaging.
Good, low mileage later series cars like this one are popular modern classics and daily drivers. This one’s very low mileage - less than 26,000 miles from new - means it falls into the former category. It is a later 4.7 litre car with more power - 420bhp - than the early models. Finished in fetching light metallic blue with a tan leather interior, there have been just two former keepers. It is in very good order.
The condition is supported by the service history, which shows a complete run of attention. The car was in storage between 2017 and earlier this year. It was recommissioned in May including a full service and health check. A long, advisory-free MOT to May 2025 reinforces the impression of a well kept, great example of these highly regarded cars.
