Aston Martin Vantage V8 Vantage X-Pack

This is a Vantage in the old, hand-built mould: a 5.7-litre V8 car with a manual gearbox, and fitted with the factory X-Pack option. The X-Pack was a rarely specified upgrade for the big-engined Vantage, and a manual car so equipped is uncommon.

The specification is distinctive. It is painted Suffolk Red over Magnolia leather with burgundy piping on the Onslow edging, red carpets and a red rear parcel shelf. It sits on the original 16-inch Ronal cross-spoke alloys with centre-nut covers, and a brass plaque carries the chassis number and the owner's name.

The car has covered 25,000 documented miles with one owner and a full service history from Stratton Motor Company Aston Martin. It is being offered for sale for the first time. The page gives no registration or model year, and the asking price is well above typical values for the model, reflecting its originality and specification.
