INVESTMENT THESIS

It gives us great pleasure to offer for sale this incredible Onyx Black manual V12 Vantage. First registered in March 2012, this is a magnificent example having covered 15,500 miles from new with full Aston Martin service history. The specification on this car is particularly impressive; externally, the flawless onyx black paint is complemented by the carbon exterior pack encompassing the trademark V12 bonnet louvres, front splitter and rear diffuser. The gigantic carbon ceramic brakes are held by red calipers and sit behind the 19” gloss black wheels. On the inside, the Obsidian Black sports seats with silver stitching contrast beautifully with the piano black facia trim and the carbon fibre accents utilised throughout the cabin.

It doesn’t take long behind the wheel to realise you are in the presence of a very special machine. The bark as the 5.9L naturally aspirated V12 fires into life is spine tingling and the remarkably purposeful yet usable 6 speed manual gearbox is a joy to drive with. The engine is a true masterpiece with perfectly linear torque as you stretch its legs up the rev range. It is a truly cracking engine which offers bountiful power low down yet constantly encourages you to stretch its legs if the opportunity arises. The ride is firm yet pliable and perfectly suited to the UK’s more undulating roads.

As an investment, the shift to a forced induction V12 power unit by Aston Martin in their new cars signals that the V12 used in this Vantage is likely to be the last of dying breed. This is also true of the manual gearbox which is soon to be confined to the history books. The combination of the large capacity naturally aspirated engine combined with the 6 speed manual gearbox makes the Aston Martin V12 Vantage one of the last bastions of analogue driving experiences in the modern day…..and that is an extremely valuable combination. Our view is that prices stabilises in the current context for the next 12-24 months before beginning to appreciate in value. There has never been a better time to purchase a sensational example of the mighty Aston Martin V12 Vantage.
