Buyer’s notes
About the Aston Martin Vantage V8 (V550)
The Vantage was shown at Birmingham in 1992 and built from 1993 to 2000, by hand at Newport Pagnell. Its 5.3-litre V8 had twin superchargers and 550 bhp, and from 1998 Works Service offered a conversion to V600 specification.
What moves the price
- Specification: V550 or V600.
- Accident history: many were driven hard.
- Structure: the steel frame under the aluminium body, where rust is costly.
Before you buy, check
- The sills, starting under the removable sill plates.
- Evidence of accident damage and poor repairs.
- Steering and suspension: looseness points to worn bushes and joints.
