Listed today at Romans of St Albans, St Albans. Last checked today.
This is a 1997 Aston Martin V8 coupe with the 5.3-litre V8 and a four-speed automatic gearbox, rated at 350 bhp. The dealer describes it as a V8 Vantage and says only 101 coupes were built, which would make it a scarce example of the long-running Newport Pagnell car.
It is finished in Mendip Blue over blue-piped Parchment leather. The roof lining is Parchment Alcantara, and the dash is in contrasting blue leather. Options include an Alpine stereo and speakers, cruise control, air conditioning, electric seats, a front mesh grille and air intakes in the front spoiler.
It has covered 30,500 miles and has had four previous owners. A major service in 2017 cost £9,713, and the car has done about 1,500 miles since. The page lists it as non-compliant with the Ultra Low Emission Zone, although the dealer's text says it is compliant, so check this before buying.
