About this car

The V550 was the Vantage in its most potent Virage-era form: a reworked chassis and a 5.3-litre V8 fitted with twin Eaton superchargers, giving 550 bhp and 550 lb ft. Only 239 were built between 1993 and 1999, and this one has the six-speed manual gearbox, which the dealer describes as a rare fitment.

It is finished in Rolls-Royce Royal Blue metallic with a Parchment leather interior, dark blue accents and walnut veneer. The odometer reads 31,700 miles, which is low for a car of this age.

The page reports a service history dating back to original delivery, and a full engine rebuild with Rikki Cann in November 2007. Bodywork, paint, trim and wheels are described as excellent, with light wear to the driver's carpet the only blemish noted.
