The Appeal
The V8 Vantage is Aston Martin’s 911, a squat, pointable and utterly capable RWD two seater, but one with the character and charisma that the German arguably lacks in quite the same quantity.
With close to 400bhp on tap from its 4.3L V8 engine, the Vantage is the equal of serious top end 911s. Despite the multifold delights of all that, the single keeper of this attractive red metallic car has managed to restrain themselves and keep the mileage below 14,000 km.
The result is a car in extremely good condition. The vendor describes it as ‘like new,’ which the photos tend to support. The car carries German registration and current ITV so is ready to go.
