Shoe-horning its AM11 5.9L V12 engine beneath the bonnet of the compact Vantage was a stroke of genius. While the standard V8 was a direct 911 rival, the V12 was catapulted, literally, into a market of one. It was both nimble 911-chaser and long-legged GT cruiser. 

Just 1,199 V12 coupes were built and this Titanium Silver 2010 car is number 109. We’re told that it was originally owned by Aston Martin Lagonda which likely explained the popular colour scheme and the high specification, including the sought-after 6spd Graziano manual box, desirable lightweight seats and bright finish grille. It all remains in very good order thanks to the low mileage of under 44,000 miles.

In his 2009 Top Gear review of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, Jeremy Clarkson famously declared, “I just have this horrible, dreadful feeling that what I'm driving here, is an ending”. He felt that rising environmental pressures, regulations, and economic shifts would soon make such raw, naturally aspirated V12 cars obsolete. 

The vendor acquired the car in 2017 and has used it sparingly. The condition is supported by a lengthy MOT that runs to December 2026 with no advisories. The V12 engine exploits the deep capabilities of the Vantage package - whether you choose to exploit that or merely add this to your collection, this example looks tempting. 

The trick with any Aston Martin is specification. This car, which we are told was first owned by Aston Martin, has been tastetfully trimmed in the popular combination of Titanium Silver over Obsidian Black leather. There are some neat options like the polished alloys, black bonnet vents and highly sought after lightweight seats. 

Inside and out this is a very well cared for car. The usual high traffic check areas such as nearside front wheel rim, driver’s seat, steering wheel and footwell show few signs of use. 

Aston Martin’s AM11 5.9L V12 is one of the great motors of the petrol-powered era. In the V12 Vantage it is good for 510bhp, with power delivered in this car via the desirable 6spd Graziano manual gearbox. It is a very engaging combination that has been highly rated by reviewers, including Jeremy Clarkson. 

This car has been with the current keeper since 2017. MOT runs to December 2026 with no advisories.
