INVESTMENT THESIS

It gives us great pleasure to offer for sale this sensational Storm Black manual V12 Vantage. First registered in September 2010, this magnificent example has covered a mere 4,500 miles from new with full Aston Martin service history. The specification on this car is particularly desirable with the rare Storm Black paint (applied to only 47 V12 Vantages produced) complemented beautifully by the carbon exterior pack encompassing the trademark V12 bonnet louvres, front splitter and rear diffuser. On the inside, the car benefits from an alcantara steering wheel along with Obsidian Black leather and alcantara seats with red stitching. This contrasts gorgeously against the Gun Metal facia.

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 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. We are already seeing values of these cars begin to appreciate and our view is that this will continue for the foreseeable future. Now is the time to be buying one of these wonderful cars and low mileage examples like this are few and far between.
