Aston Martin V12 Vantage

The V12 Vantage Roadster marks the close of a V12 chapter at Aston Martin, and the open-top version is the rarer of the two body styles — just 249 built worldwide against 333 coupes. This example has covered only 972 miles from a single owner, placing it among the most lightly used available. The factory options list is purposefully chosen: Q Special Ion Blue paint (an £8,200 bespoke colour) is paired with the Gloss 2x2 Twill Carbon Fibre Lower Exterior Pack (£9,230) that traces the car's flanks, while 21-inch Satin Black lightweight wheels and smoked rear lights give the exterior a cohesive, understated aggression.

Inside, Dark Knight leather is contrasted with Obsidian Black Alcantara headlining and Satin Dark Chrome jewellery, while Carbon Fibre Performance Seats with six-way adjustment and Carbon Ceramic Brakes confirm this is the sporting specification. The 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 produces 690 bhp, reaching 62 mph in 3.5 seconds and 200 mph flat out — with the absent roof adding an auditory dimension to the experience that the coupé simply cannot match.

Manufacturer's warranty runs to February 2027, supported by an Aston Martin Service Pack extending to February 2029. UK-supplied from new.
