Description
Limited-edition 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 Roadster.
Finished in striking Bergwerk Black—one of only three exclusive paint colours previewed by the N400—this exceptional open-top sports car is paired with an Obsidian Black full-grain leather interior, beautifully accented by contrasting Coarse Silver stitching. Crucially, this example is fitted with the enthusiast-preferred 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a genuinely engaging and analog driving experience.
Introduced to celebrate Aston Martin’s competitive achievements and grueling development at the infamous Nürburgring 24-Hour race, the N400 variant brought a raft of factory performance and aesthetic enhancements over the standard Vantage. Under the bonnet, the 4. 3-litre V8 received a power upgrade to a perfectly rounded 400 bhp. This example also comes factory-fitted with the highly coveted Sports Pack chassis, featuring retuned springs, Bilstein monotube dampers, and a stiffer anti-roll bar.

Rarity & RHD Provenance:
While Aston Martin originally planned a global run of 240 Roadsters, the Aston Martin Heritage Trust records indicate that only 195 were actually completed. Crucially, only 86 N400 Roadsters were produced for the UK market, and a mere 37 were equipped with the six-speed manual transmission.
Backed by a full service history, an expensive fresh clutch from the UK's top specialist, and sitting in a specification that perfectly balances collectible rarity with a stunning modern look, this rare, numbered-plaque edition represents a scarce piece of Gaydon history.
