If you’re looking at this ad you’ve already decided to buy an Aston Martin. This is my first Aston and I am now upgrading to an even more exotic model.
I own many nice cars but this one is quite exceptional.
As an enthusiast you have already shown a level of refinement and maturity in choosing a car that will usher you into a fairly exclusive owners club apart from all the usual offerings of German and Italian constructors. Let’s face it if you buy a car like this you want it to stand out from the boring crowd.
I have found that there is definitely something special about owning an Aston Martin.
I searched a long time to find the right example, and when I saw this car I purchased it on the spot.
This is a special Aston Martin Vantage. I know it’s cliche to use the words rare but when you study this car I will go so far as to say there is likely not another like it in Australia.
It was Australian delivered to a reknown collector in Adelaide in 2011.
He ordered it from the factory and ticked almost every box on the options list that there was to tick and then went into the special orders and options section in the Q bespoke service and ticked some there as well.
The car is special Q bespoke order color Fire Red and a 6 speed manual gearbox.
Already these two things set it apart as a collectable and appreciating work of art.
It has the 4.7 litres normally aspirated V8 engine and whilst the rear exhaust and back box are standard, it has an upgraded QuickSilver ceramic manifolds offtake and Sports Cats. This is not an upgrade for sound or show. This delivers slightly more than 40bhp more, improved throttle response and a torque curve that needs to be experienced.
It does have a remote valve override fob if you want to scare the neighbours, but this is just a fringe benefit. If you already love the cacophony of sound you have heard am Aston Martin make - this one will make your blood curdle if you want to run it with the valve open. Trust me - there is nothing that comes close to this sound through a tunnel …..
Aside from this, the car was optioned with the most incredibly stunning factory carbon fibre light weight sports seats clad in black leather with red stitiching. Today this is a $17,000 option alone.
The car has the Vanquish Solid alloy single billet milled gear shift knob, alcantara flat bottom steering wheel with the matching red stitching. The lining is matching alcantara with black leather and red stitching thoughout to match the Fire Red paint work. This car was ordered with the N400 options which included the wider flared sills.
The car has the factory Bang Olufsen sound system with 13 speakers but of course the most amazing part is rhe pop up dashboard speakers. the system looks and sounds amazing.
The car is in showroom condition, maintained by Aston Martin specialists its entire documented history.
The vehicle has been part of large private collections in Adelaide and North Sydney so it has not been driven very much.
It has the Lamy dashboard pen, factory umbrella paperwork and books all as though fresh and never touched from Gaydon.
This car featured in the Porsche Victoria club magazine about 12 months ago where it was photographed at a famous detailing shop where it had a total paint correction and 3 coats of ceramic clear put on the paint work.
It really is a very very meticulously maintained and carefully cared for ultra rare Manual V8 Vantage.
If your a car person I don’t need to explain how normally aspirated V8 sports car with manual gearbox’s are appreciating in value and investment grade collectibles.
If you’re serious about joining David Beckham and Gordon Ramsey in the Kings Road club then I would encourage you to buy this one.
I have never seen another one like it since I have owned it and i frequently get stopped by enthusiasts to ask me questions about the car as it’s extremely unique.
Look forward to hearing from you if you have a serious enquiry only please.
