- 1979 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Finished in special order Ferrari Blue Ribault with Magnolia hide interior, piped dark Blue, with special order interior coloured hide dashboard and blue top roll.
With just 2 owners from new, this exceptional and uniquely coloured example has been meticulously maintained by Aston Martin in Newport Pagnell and recognised AM specialists throughout its life.
Ordered and delivered new via Nicholas Mee from Aston Martin Sales in January 1979, to Sussex resident Mr M J Solomans, this highly original and unspoilt V8 Vantage remained in Solomans care and ownership for some 6 years, prior to being re purchased and supplied to its second and last owner, again by Nicholas Mee at Aston Martin Sales, in December 1985, with only 12,000 miles recorded.
We are delighted to now bring to market, for only the 2nd time in 45 years, this superb, highly original and prized example of the ‘Oscar India’ V8 Vantage.
Originally specified with a 5-speed manual transmission, as fitted, this example is 1 of just 44 built with the original Vantage 540 engine specifications and prior to the fitting of standard V8 saloon cylinder heads, thereafter. Much loved and cosseted by the last UK based owner, during his 39 years of ownership and remaining in its original build specifications, this car has been frequently shown at concours events and owners club meetings. With exception to a suspension upgrade and factory sports exhaust system, both fitted in period, this unspoilt and superbly original AM V8 Vantage, is one of the finest and most pleasing to drive examples, that we know of.
Hailed by the motoring press as the UK’s first Supercar when launched in 1977, this AM V8 Vantage is accompanied with a comprehensive service and maintenance folio, containing the cars original build details, completed original service voucher book, original owners handbook, all service and maintenance invoices, factory correspondence, previous sales invoices, all past MoT certificates and all previous registration papers.
A ‘find’ for its next owner, this rare Vantage is complete with the original tool roll, original vehicle Jack and 2 sets of keys. Showing only the slightest signs of age and careful use over 45 years, this magnificent V8 Vantage is supplied fully prepared, to our usual exacting standards, serviced to schedule and inclusive of 12 months warranty and fresh MOT certificate.
Available for viewing and demonstration now at our Hertfordshire showrooms.
Had a poster of a V8 Vantage on my wall as a youngster back in the 80's. It still my dream car. I'm just waiting on that lottery win 🤞🏼It's got to have the three spoke steering wheel too.....just like this one 😍
Lovely car.
But kindly stop using the egregiously pretentious, and semi-illiterate, phrase “prior to”.
The word you want is “before”.
😂👌
