2011 ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE

This low-mileage 2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a handsome contemporary performance car, which is presented in good condition and is finished in an attractive factory colour scheme. It is powered by a 420bhp 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V8, which is mated to the six-speed Sportshift automated manual transmission with paddle shifters. The odometer shows just 21,000 miles from new.

First registered on 18 February 2011, this original right-hand drive UK market car has four previous keepers on the V5C, and was acquired by its most recent private owner in July 2019. The car is now offered for sale by the trade.

The flowing bodywork presents very well, and is not believed to have suffered from any accident damage, with straight panels and even shut lines. The deep Midnight Blue paintwork is also in great shape and is smooth and even across the car, with only a few age-related marks including stone chips on the nose and peeling paint on the passenger-side door mirror strut, which is a common issue on Vantages of this era.

The car sits on a set of 19-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels with diamond-cut faces, which are free of any damage or kerb scratches, but their lacquer does feature some small blemishes.

In the cabin, this Vantage’s exterior hue is complemented by blue leather upholstery, which covers most of the interior surfaces, including the door trims, dashboard and electrically adjustable seats. Overall, there is very little perceptible wear, and only minor creasing to the seats’ surfaces from the car’s limited use.

Factory-fitted equipment includes a heated rear screen, climate control and power-folding and heated door mirrors. The car also features a pop-up infotainment system with satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity and front and rear parking sensors.

The vendor reports that all of the interior buttons, switches and electrical items currently work without fault, and that there are no warning lights or messages displayed on the dashboard or infotainment screen.

This luxury sporting GT is reported to be in sound mechanical condition, and the seller states that it will also be serviced prior to delivery to its next owner. The car was seen by diagnostic specialist Autologic in 2020, to correct a slow response fault from one of the car’s sensor circuits, which was triggering a check engine light. Prior to this, the car was serviced in February 2019, when the engine oil and oil filter, air filter and screen wash pump were replaced.

This V8 Vantage’s most recent MOT test was conducted on 11 June 2020 at 20,488 miles, with advisories issued for wear to both front tyres, and a nail in the nearside front tyre, as well as a weak parking brake – though the parking brake has since been attended to.

The car will be supplied with a partial service history and a number of invoices, as well as its full tool kit and two sets of keys.

This Aston Martin V8 Vantage 4.7 is a very smart example of the undeniably beautiful British performance car, which is presented in a charming blue-on-blue colour scheme and with very low mileage from new. Though there are minor imperfections to the exterior, this sleek GT is sure to bring a sense of occasion to every drive.
