The Appeal

The early 4.3-litre manual V8 Vantage Roadster is widely regarded as the purest expression of Aston Martin's VH-platform cars — analogue, compact and mechanically engaging in a way that its later, more powerful siblings never quite replicated. With a naturally aspirated V8 mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, these handsome cars offer a driving experience rooted in feel and feedback, and it is these early manual Roadsters that are now attracting the keenest attention from informed buyers.

This late-2007 production example was originally supplied new by Aston Martin Edinburgh at a cost close to £100,000 and has remained within the Aston Martin ecosystem for the majority of its life. It has covered just 22,005 miles from new in the hands of only two registered keepers, the first of whom stored the car at Aston Martin Edinburgh during winter months. The current keeper acquired it through the same dealership in December 2017 and has kept it as part of a small enthusiast collection alongside a Ferrari F12, 458 Speciale and several classic automobiles — always garaged, never driven in poor weather and never exposed to winter road salt.

The result is a car that the vendor describes as being in collector-grade condition. The Tungsten Silver paintwork is stated to be entirely original and has been professionally depth gauged across all panels, confirming consistent readings with no evidence of prior repair. The underside is reported as clean and free from corrosion. Inside, the Obsidian Black leather and Gun Metal facia are described as well preserved, with defined seat bolsters and no sticky switchgear.

Serviced annually regardless of mileage, and accompanied by a comprehensive history file, factory build sheet, original bill of sale and stamped service book, this is a thoroughly documented and carefully preserved example that's bound to attract attention.

Buenas noches. Supongo que la 'discrepancia' en el kilometraje de 2023 por Robinsons en su factura es simplemente un error tipográfico? Gracias, Tom

Buenas noches Tom, Gracias por tu mensaje. Sí, eso es correcto, la discrepancia en la factura de Robinsons de 2023 es simplemente un error administrativo. El kilometraje correcto en ese momento era de 20.254 millas, lo cual está claramente registrado en el libro de servicio. Al cruzar y correlacionar esto con el resto del historial de servicio, todo encaja de forma coherente. No hay motivo de preocupación en absoluto, y el historial permanece plenamente coherente y verificado. Por supuesto, si quieres que lo repase contigo en detalle, estaría encantado de hacerlo.
