2013 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE

Exceptionally original, carefully preserved example that has covered just 11,115 miles.

Finished in Morning Frost White with black leather and white contrast stitching. (See the image in the sunlight where I have tried to capture the amazing metallic content and depth of this paint.)

Pre-registered to Aston Martin Leeds on 28-06-2013, to a further private buyer and then to me 21-05-2022.

I have covered 2,635 miles since - two memorable European trips, to Le Mans in 2022 and the Nurburgring in 2023. The car has since been stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled car collection garage on a full tank of stabilised fuel.

Service history

I take a condition-led rather than calendar-led approach. Maintenance reflects the extremely limited use and periods of controlled storage; I have not sent it to a workshop to collect an annual stamp.

The car has just been comprehensively serviced and comes with all relevant invoices, old MOT's, V5 and other documents.

Imperfections

I prefer to describe every point accurately prior to viewing (Cheshire) to assist potential buyers.

* Tyres - still on 2012-dated tyres. Not worn out but no good for enthusiastic driving.

* Nearside door - very small corrosion bubble at the edge of the passenger door handle (known Vantage trouble spot.) Almost invisible, there when I bought the car and unchanged since. Left untouched to preserve factory paint. See picture.

* Front offside wing - there was a roughly 5mm stress crack in the panel lip (another known Vantage issue.) I had it expertly smart-repaired to prevent spread. The repair was contained within the vertical panel edge, without needing to paint the wing face. That tiny section is the only non-factory paint on the car.

* Front grille - handful of very small stone chips in the anodised finish.
