Buyer’s notes
About the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (1977)
The V8 Vantage was hailed at its 1977 launch as Britain’s first supercar, with a 170 mph top speed from a reworked V8. The “Oscar India” version followed in late 1978, and the X-Pack engine from 1986 until production ended in 1989. Its closed bonnet bulge and blanked grille set it apart from the standard V8.
What moves the price
- Version: early cars, Oscar India, and the sought-after X-Pack.
- Structure: the steel frame under the aluminium body, where rust is expensive to repair.
- History: engine and cooling work on record, and the gearbox it left the factory with.
Before you buy, check
- The sills, starting under the removable sill plates, and the outriggers behind the front wheels, where brake and fuel lines must come off for repairs.
- Signs of overheating or a failed head gasket, low oil pressure, and oil and water mixing.
- On manual cars, worn bearings and synchromesh; the clutch is naturally very heavy.
