2012 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE

Priddys Motor Company are delighted to present this Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Roadster, showing 58,600 miles and finished in Onyx Black. This is a very honest Aston Martin. Not the sort that has just scraped through ownership with the bare minimum spent on it, but one that has clearly been enjoyed properly and maintained by people who genuinely cared about it. We know the car personally, having supplied it ourselves previously to a very good customer of ours, and the history file behind it is seriously impressive. Sixteen service entries made up of Aston Martin main dealers and some of the most respected specialists in the country including Nicholas Mee and AJ Tech. When you sit down and actually read through the invoices, you quickly understand what sort of car this is. It has simply had what it needed throughout its life without corners being cut. The clutch replacement carried out by Nicholas Mee in 2022 alone totalled nearly 6,000, alongside continued annual maintenance regardless of mileage covered. The previous owner is also exactly the sort of person you hope has owned a car like this. A genuine enthusiast who attended events like the Lyn Valley gatherings, where owners tend to know their cars properly and take pride in them. That type of ownership normally shows itself in the way a car feels, and this one feels right. Being the Vantage S is important too. The sharper steering, revised suspension setup, quicker Sportshift II gearbox and extra power over the standard 4.7 all make the car feel noticeably more alive without losing the relaxed grand touring side Aston Martins do so well. Finished in Onyx Black over Obsidian Black leather with silver stitching, it has been specified exactly as a Vantage should be. Elegant, understated and very traditional Aston Martin. The leatherwork throughout the cabin is what really separates these from most modern sports cars. Dash, seats, doors, centre console everything feels hand-finished and properly trimmed rather than assembled, something increasingly rare in modern sports cars and something you only really appreciate once youve lived with it. Then there are the details Aston Martin owners tend to appreciate most. The glass crystal key still presents beautifully, the aluminium paddles remain fixed to the steering column, and the steering itself still has proper weight and feel to it. Nothing feels synthetic or over-assisted. Specification includes heated seats, memory seats, Aston Martin 700w premium audio, navigation, cruise control, Bluetooth phone preparation and Piano Black interior trim, alongside the black Alcantara headliner and Vantage S embroidery. Condition overall reflects the ownership behind it. The wheels are clean, the interior remains very well preserved, and it sits on matching Continental Sport Contact 7 tyres all round. It is very easy to tell when an Aston Martin has been loved properly - and this one ticks all them boxes. ** This vehicle has passed our strict pre-purchase inspection and tight-tolerance checks prior to arrival.
