2006 Aston Martin Vantage V8

Key facts This Aston Martin V8 Vantage is an early and elegantly specified example of the model that reshaped the marque's modern era. It is powered by a front-mid-mounted, naturally aspirated 4.3-litre quad-cam V8 producing 380bhp, driving the rear wheels through the sought-after six-speed manual gearbox. First registered March 2006 in Germany, and was imported to Sweden in May 2006. It has been maintained exclusively by main dealers and a marque specialist, and has been in the same ownership since 2017. The odometer shows 84,571 km from new. Equipment and features The car is finished in Meteorite Silver, over a Phantom Grey leather interior with contrasting Kestrel Tan seats and door inserts, picked out with light contrast stitching; a rare two-tone cost option that sets it apart from the majority of Vantages from this era with all-Obsidian Black cabins. The interior is further distinguished by Mahogany burr veneer across the fascia and centre console surround, an Anthracite interior finish, and a Tailors Grey Alcantara headlining. Equipment includes satellite navigation with the motorised pop-up display, an integrated telephone system with fascia keypad, automatic climate control, the Aston Martin audio system, the analogue fascia clock, electrically adjustable and heated seats, cruise control, parking sensors, drilled alloy pedals, and the illuminated glass ECU key with fascia starter button. It rides on 19-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels in silver, professionally refurbished by Swedish specialist Interá, framing silver Aston Martin-branded brake callipers and fitted with Bridgestone Potenza tyres, 235/40 ZR19 at the front and 275/35 ZR19 at the rear. Beneath the bonnet, the hand-finished V8 sits behind a polished strut brace and carries the build plaque recording that the car was handbuilt in England and given its final inspection by Martyn Askill. The car comes with four keys, comprehensive history file with the stamped service book, the Aston Martin leather own
