For sale my stunning aston martin n400 vantage roadster manual. Full aston martin service history, with 10 month aston martin timeless warranty.
a little bit about very collectable n400....
the vantage n400 featured a few tweaks over the standard car. This included a useful power upgrade to the 4. 3 litre v8 engine, lifting peak power to 400 bhp and peak torque to 420 nm. The car also came equipped with a new sports pack as standard which offered subtly different driving dynamics tailored to enthusiasts who were seeking even more responsive handling. The sports pack comprised of unique lightweight graphite-finished aluminium wheel type with diamond turning (already fitted to the sports pack db9), up-rated springs and dampers and a new rear anti-roll bar (for the coupe only). the vantage n400 also included a number of exterior design changes, including a revised side sill design, magnum silver bonnet and side strake meshes, clear rear lamp lenses and a bright finish grille.
interior enhancements included perforated black leather seats, micro-spin alloy facia trim and a unique numbered sill plaque. The vantage n400 was only available in three new exterior colours; Bergwerk black, lightning silver or karussell orange (the first time that orange has been a standard colour for an aston), with either sportshift or conventional manual transmission. Additionally, the vantage n400 came equipped with a range of optional equipment fitted as standard, including satellite navigation, 700w aston martin premium audio system, bluetooth telephone preparation, hid headlamps, cruise control and memory/ heated seats. In the karussell orange coloured cars, the seat stitching was course tan and a map of the nürburgring was embroidered on the arm rest; The black and silver cars used either course silver or red thread. It was also possible to specify a rather more discrete black thread.
aml supposedly limited production of the n400 to just 480 examples (240 coupes, 240 roadsters) – why 480? well that’s how many seconds are in 8 minutes, the time that the n400 could lap the nürburgring. Almost all cars were built during march and april 2008. it is now believed that 237 n400 coupes were actually built making the n400 especially desirable to collectors.
officially 146 of 240 and certified so on the sill plate, this car is no doubt far rarer than that as aston martin ended up making 195 roadsters of the n400 edition and the manual is rare but the standout karussell orange is rarer still!
the n400 benfits from a power upgrade to 400bhp as well as uprated dampers and suspension unit, revised sill design, clear tail lamps and n400 designated badging including the map of the nurburgring stitched onto the armrest!
this is a true british iconic sports car and the 4. 3l v8 from am of that era will no doubt remian one of the best sounding cars forever more!
the car was recently purchased from aston martin bristol, but i have purchased a rare ferrari i was looking for for years (sods law). hence selling this beauty. Car is immaculate and still has Timeless Warranty.
