Aston Martin Vantage V8

An early V8 Vantage, first registered in October 2005 and fitted with the six-speed manual gearbox. The 4.3-litre manual car is widely regarded as the simplest and most affordable route into Aston Martin ownership. Being a 2005 registration, it also falls into the lower road tax band that later cars missed. It is finished in Onyx Black over two-tone grey leather and has the clear rear light clusters.

It shows 49,140 miles. A new clutch was fitted in 2021 at 42,400 miles by Bamford Rose, together with a lightweight flywheel, new slave cylinder, short-shift modification and a transmission oil change. The service book has six stamps, the latest in April, and the car was supplied new by Grange Aston Martin in Brentwood and retailed again by Stratstone in 2013.

The front end has been wrapped in paint protection film since 41,000 miles, and the rear subframe is reported to be in very good condition and wax protected. The car has Bridgestone Potenza tyres all round, two keys, the original handbook and a folder of invoices. It has an MOT until September 2027 with no advisories and comes with a Motorcheck HPi clearance.
