Following the unveiling of the AMV8 Vantage concept car in 2003 at the North American International Auto Show, the production version, known as the V8 Vantage was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005 for the 2006 model year. Featuring bonded aluminium structure for strength and lightness, the V8 Vantage was initially powered by a 4. 3-litre quad-cam 32-valve V8 which produced 380bhp and propelled the car to 60mph in just 4. 9 seconds, with a top speed of 175mph and benefited from a 49/ 51 front/ rear weight distribution due to its front mid-mounted engine with rear-mounted transaxle. Later in 2006, Aston introduced their automated manual gearbox option, ‘sportshift’. Sportshift added electro-hydraulic control to the existing Vantage 6-speed manual gearbox to offer improved shift times and replaced the conventional manual gear lever with push button controls and paddles on the steering wheel.
The Vantage was an immediate success. Some estimate by the time the car was first shown, some dealers had as much as a three-year waiting list and the car was one of only two cars added to BBC Top Gear’s ‘DB9 Section’ mini fridge, reserved for cars even cooler than ‘Sub Zero’. The car would later go on to receive Jeremy Clarkson’s 2005 Best Sounding Car of the Year, and Coolest Car of the Year. Nowadays, the V8 Vantage is still considered one of the best-looking cars of all time and has become an undisputed modern classic.
With just c. 22, 500 miles recorded from new and benefiting from a recent inspection and service from AM Performance in May 2026, this example is finished in Meteorite Silver with burgundy roof and Iron Ore leather trim punctuated by silver, gloss black and aluminium trim inlays. Acquired by the vendor in 2022, approximately 7, 000 miles have been covered since. Riding on 19 inch seven spoke alloy wheels, its factory specification includes headlamp washers, rear parking sensors, cruise control, multifunction steering wheel and built in media system with navigation. An electrically operated convertible wind deflector, automatic air conditioning, switchable comfort mode, push button start, analogue clock and electrically adjustable seats with three position memory enhance the driving experience. Aside from minor blemishes the paintwork is said to be “excellent” while the interior presents extremely well. The vendor advises there are no known mechanical or electrical faults and no warning lights showing on the dashboard. Serviced regularly, this stunning Aston comes with a current MOT to April 2027, Swansea V5C, owners handbook and 2 keys with fobs.
