Aston Martin Vantage V8

The early 4.3-litre V8 Vantage is the car that brought Aston Martin's entry-level sports coupe to a wider audience, and this one has the specification enthusiasts look for: a naturally aspirated V8 making 380 bhp, a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. Manual cars are the minority, which gives it appeal beyond the ordinary.

This 2006 car is finished in Onyx Black over a full black leather interior. Equipment includes heated electric memory seats, satellite navigation, cruise control, Bluetooth, rear park assist and power-folding mirrors. It has covered 34,204 miles and has had four owners.

The service history is a strong point, with 19 stamps from both Aston Martin main agents and specialists. The dealer states the car is HPI clear.
