Description
Finished in Winchester Blue with Magnolia hide piped in Blue. Exclusively supplied and serviced by ourselves over the last 30 years, we are delighted to offer this factory original V8 Vantage, in excellent overall condition with a complete service history, low mileage and a highly desirable specification.
Delivered in the UK when new in January 1985, equipped with 5 speed manual transmission and now offered with just 47,947 miles covered in total.
This superb example of the V8 Vantage has a continuous service and maintenance history, having been cared for in own workshops and previously, at Aston Martin Works and Aston Martin agents. The high specification of this exceptional car, includes established and desirable upgrades including the fitment of late specification 16’’ Vantage road wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, Nardi steering wheel and matching walnut gear knob (the original being also supplied) a front and rear sports suspension package including rear anti-roll bar and the fitment of a factory sports exhaust system.
Serviced annually and maintained to the highest standards, this car’s previous owners have employed a ‘no expense spared’ regime, in keeping the car expertly maintained and dry garaged when not in use. Retaining its original colour specifications, this delightful and thoroughly well-kept example of the V580 specified Vantage, is both focused and refined to drive. Giving an excellent spread of power and torque throughout the 5.3 litre V8 engine’s, linear rev range.
Crowned by the motoring press as Britain’s first Supercar when launched in 1977, the V8 Vantage with its accessible high performance and superior levels of genuine 2+2 comfort, remains revered and coveted amongst enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Recorded to be 1 of only 115 Right Hand Drive examples of the V580 Vantage model, in production from 1980 to 1985 and one of only 4 finished in this attractive colour.
Supplied with our usual high standards of preparation, with 12 months warranty, an extensive leather-bound history folder, original Owners Handbook with Service supplement and custom fit car cover.
Available for viewing and demonstration now at our Hertfordshire showrooms.
