STUNNING V8 VANTAGE - FULL HISTORY
This is your opportunity to own one of the most beautiful cars built in the last 20 years - the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Finished in a striking red that truly pops in the sunshine, with just 45,083 miles from new, this hand-built British sports car combines timeless design with a naturally aspirated 4.3-litre V8 engine and Aston Martin's Sportshift gearbox.
Sportshift Explained
The Sportshift transmission is an automated manual - mechanically the same 6-speed gearbox as the manual Vantage, but with the clutch and gear changes operated automatically. This means you get the engagement and character of a manual, with the convenience of paddle-shift control. Around town it can be driven like an automatic, and on open roads it delivers fast, F1-style gear changes.
First registered in December 2006, this example (KX56 BRZ) has been cherished by 8 previous owners and remains in excellent condition, reflecting the care and attention it has received throughout its life.
