Introduction
Paul Wright
It’s easy to see why the V8 Vantage is one of the best-selling Astons of all time.
Exclusivity and devastating performance have traditionally been Aston Martin's attributes, but with the brand’s shift into the modern age, the Vantage also brought in a whole new set of dimensions to further the appeal of the brand. As a result, it became one of the best-selling Aston Martins of all time. Originally unveiled as a concept car in 2003, the car attracted plenty of positive feedback, which led to the release of the Vantage in 2005. The elegant-styled aluminium bonded front-mid mounted GT sports car was sold with both V8 and V12 options. Accolades soon followed, which eventually resulted in further evolutions and the development of the car.
Aston Martin produced 24 variants of the Vantage over its course of production, one of which was the Vantage V8 Roadster, the one we have here. At £91,000, over £8,000 more than the coupe, you could get your hands on Aston Martin’s latest roadster. To compensate for the lack of a roof, Aston stiffened up the body with a super-stiff cross member across the bulkhead, and the suspension is slightly stiffer than the coupe. When the roof is down, the car looks completely different, with the speedster-style humps which house the rollover bars, should they be needed in the worst-case scenario.
This stunning low-mileage example has been in current ownership for ~5.5 years. With a desirable colour combination and a fresh service to be actioned by Aston Martin upon successful sale, the Aston is very much ready for its new home.
This listing was written from information supplied by Paul after meeting Terry the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Terry
Thank you. Are you are quite sure there is no issue with the dash display ? Please refer to internal photos no. 52,53 & 54.
No problem with pixels on dashboard air on working perfect and the steering rack joints mot station said nothing to worry about just googled £12 each to buy
Terry,
Could you please let me know if there is a problem with the dash display. It looks pixilated in your photos.
Has this been looked and have you any idea as to a cost to rectify it ? I noticed that some play on the “inner steering rack joints” has been noted on the MOT for a few years. Has this been looked at and have you any idea as to a cost to rectify ? Lastly does the air conditioning blow cold ? Thank you
** UPDATE ** Terry has committed to getting the car serviced by main dealer Aston Martin Nottingham on successful sale of the car. Cheers Adam
And Terry tells us the car has done ~3,000 miles since the last service.
Hi Terry, has it been serviced in the last 5 years?
Hi, Terry sent us the 2018 service stamp and uploaded that image. Plus he said that he’d get the car serviced from Aston Martin Nottingham on successful sale of the car. Cheers Adam
