Black piping, Black top roll and Wilton carpets. Burr Walnut wood work, Magnolia power soft top with the desirable glass rear window which only the later cars were fitted with, electric windows, PAS and air conditioning. Our car is one of just 33 left hand drive examples to be built to Vantage X-Pack specification, not be confused with the cosmetic Vantage which had the Vantage body styling but de-tuned engine to conform to US emissions regulations. These cars were built solely for Western Europe and the Gulf. A total of 103 cars were produced worldwide of which only 33 were left hand drive. Of the 33 cars that were built, we believe only 20% will ever become available and the majority are still with their first owners. This example was built to order for KSA business magnate Faisal Al Hejailian, supplied new through Italian agents Achilli of Milan on 26th May 1989, the final year of production – this car is just 1 of 3 X-Packs built for the Italian Market. Fitted with - KPH speedometer - Blaupunkt Bremen radio cassette - Ronal aluminium road wheels Transported across the Alps from Milan to Geneva where the car was first registered 16th August 1989 and resided at the Geneva Lake residence of Mr Hejailian. In 1996 the X-Pack was collected in France and re-homed across the Channel to Great Britain. Kept in a de-humidified environment and maintained with Aston Martin in Newport Pagnell – the KPH reading was just 7,542 kilometres. Fast-forward to 2008 the car was sold by Mr.Hejailian to its current and last owner where the car has been part of an important marque collection.
