Aston Martin Vantage V8

This is an early 2006 V8 Vantage, the car that brought Aston Martin's compact sports coupe to a wider audience. It uses the 4.3-litre V8 with 380 bhp and, unusually for the era, a six-speed manual gearbox, which many enthusiasts prefer to the later automated options.

The car has been modified with a Bamford Rose exhaust catalyst power upgrade, a lightweight flywheel and a twin-plate clutch, plus a three-way exhaust valve control switch. The dealer cites an invoice on file for £6,826 for this work. It is finished in Meteorite Silver over Phantom Grey leather, with 19-inch seven-spoke wheels, satellite navigation, heated seats and memory seats.

It has covered 51,600 miles and has had nine owners. The page notes a large service file of invoices and MOTs, a recent service by Nicholas Mee, two keys and the original book pack. It is listed as HPI clear.
