The Appeal
While the ‘Vantage’ moniker had previously been applied to special high-performance variants of Aston Martin’s GTs, the name was revived in 2005 for the most nimble car in Aston’s lineup. Penned by Ian Callum, the new V8 Vantage became the most successful car in the firm’s history.
For those seeking a piece of handbuilt British exotica, Vantages of this vintage are very appealing and we’re delighted to offer this fantastic example which benefits from full service history, several choice upgrades and even the very apt private registration ‘Y16 AMV’. It has an advisory-free MOT valid until December 2024, so this supremely healthy example is not to be missed.
