1999 ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE V550

Finished in arguably the most popular colour for the model, Antrim Blue over Parchment hide interior, piped Pacific Blue over Blue carpets, we are pleased to offer this superb quality Vantage V550.

A quintessential ‘Brute in a Suit’, the 1993-2000 Aston Martin V8 Vantage V550 was the last model produced entirely by hand at the Newport Pagnell factory, with a mere 239 examples being built before the factory being closed and remodelled, for Vanquish production. An anachronism of its day, the Vantage V550’s only rival, that could claim to offer the same level of luxury and performance, was Bentley’s Continental T, the most expensive production car of the day.

The V550 standard specification includes 8-way electric seating, climate control, ABS braking and drivers air bag safety features. Delivering 550 bhp the 5.3 litre twin supercharged engine drives a 6-speed manual gearbox and gives the car a 0-60 time of 4.6 sec’s and a top speed of 186 mph. Performance numbers that are impressive today, let alone over 25 years ago! All, whilst enjoying a sumptuous and generous 2+2 cabin trimmed in finest quality Connolly hides, Wilton Wool carpeting and highly polished burr walnut finishers.

This ‘reference’ example we are now pleased to offer, was built and delivered by Aston Martin Mayfair in April 1999, being within the last 10 cars to have been built and incorporating late build refinements including improved door mirrors, door handles, exhaust and cooling systems.

Boasting a superb service record with Aston Martin agents and ourselves, in total the car has received 26 services in its 25 year life! Invoices for which are contained in the extensive history folder and clearly demonstrate that no expense has been spared in the maintenance and upkeep of this car, which is supplied complete with all original hand books, tools, vehicle jack and factory build sheet.

Now having covered 25,140 miles from new, the exterior coachwork is virtually unmarked and the cabin remarkably well preserved. Supplied inclusive of a manufacturer scheduled service, 12 months Warranty and MoT certificate.
