Aston Martin Vantage AM Vantage

This is one of only 70 Aston Martin Vantages built with the 4.0-litre DOHC straight-six rather than the Tadek Marek V8 the model was designed around. It pairs that engine with a five-speed manual gearbox, a combination that makes it a rarity within an already small-production range.

The car has had ten previous owners and a documented history running from 1986, when RS Williams invoiced it at 61,261 miles, through to the present. It was declared SORN from 2004 to 2009, then recommissioned by Aston Workshop, which spent 88 hours on a full health check. The current keeper bought it in 2010. During that ownership the engine was stripped, rebuilt and the bay repainted, and a new wiring loom was fitted most recently.

It now shows 96,719 miles and has had a bare-metal respray in Old English Pewter. The page describes the black interior as original.
