Oyster Cars are delighted to offer this stunning Aston Martin Vantage V8 finished in Metallic Onyx Black with a Falcon / Phantom grey leather interior. This is a highly desirable 6 speed manual version with just over 49000 warranted miles. First registered in October 2005, it qualifies currently for the lower road tax bracket which is nearly half the price of a 2006 onwards model. The bodywork is in good all round condition and the front end was wrapped professionally in Bodyfence Protection Film at 41000 miles. The alloy wheels too are in very good condition and fitted with the correct Bridgestone Potenza tyres all round, the rears having covered 9000 miles and the fronts fitted new this summer. The car also features the clear rear light clusters which in many people’s opinion give it a more contemporary look. The underside too is very clean and the rear subframe in very good condition having been regularly inspected and wax protected. 

Mechanically the car drives very well in all aspects and being a 4.3 V8 with the manual gearbox is considered the most reliable and cost effective way into Aston Martin ownership. Supplied originally by Grange Aston Martin in Brentwood and then retailed again by Stratstone Aston Martin in 2013 the car has six service stamps in its book with the most recent being in April this year. Probably most importantly, in 2021 at 42400 miles it received a new clutch fitted by  Bamford Rose with an upgraded Lightweight Flywheel, new slave cylinder, short shift modification and transmission oil flush and fill at the same time. 

Inside, the the interior is in very clean condition and feels and smells nice and fresh with the two tone grey leather seats in lovely condition  The factory fitted stereo has been upgraded to allow Bluetooth music streaming, all the electric windows and mirrors work as they should and the air conditioning blows nice and cold.

In conclusion this is a well presented desirable manual Vantage with sensible mileage and clear evidence of having been well maintained. The car comes with its original handbook in very good condition and a nicely presented folder of other paperwork and invoices. It has 2 keys, an MOT until September 2027 (no advisories) and is sold with full Motorcheck HPi clearance and 2015 Consumer Rights Protection.
