Buyer’s notes
About the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (2005)
The V8 Vantage of 2005 was the most driver-focused Aston Martin of its era: a smaller car on the VH platform, with a 4.3-litre V8 developed from Jaguar’s AJ-V8 producing 380 bhp and a six-speed manual transaxle at the rear. A Roadster followed in 2006 and a 4.7-litre engine in 2008.
What moves the price
- Gearbox: the six-speed manual commands a clear premium over the Sportshift automated manual.
- Engine: the later 4.7-litre cars are the specification the market is moving towards.
- Low mileage, documented history and a good colour, which set the best cars apart from a large supply.
Before you buy, check
- The rear subframe, for cracks on high-mileage or track-used cars.
- Clutch condition on manual cars: replacing it is a transaxle-out job.
- Electrical gremlins and sensor faults, the usual Gaydon-era watch list.
