Aston Martin Vantage 2010 (10) - 2dr

Insurance Group 0, 2 Previous Owners, Whilst the muscle car might have found its roots in Detroit, it was perfected in Warwickshire. Which, now we have typed that, sounds less dramatic than initially intended. But, the point remains true, the recipe for a Muscle car is a simple one: take an existing car and fit it with an engine as large as you can conceivably imagine would fit. It is ultimately what Aston Martin did when they launched the V12 Vantage. Who could imagine that they would fit their flagship engine into their entry-level car? But, we are incredibly glad that they did, because it loses none of the V8s pretty looks, and gains all of the DBSs massive power. Aston Martin at the time were celebrating some excellent product placement, and thus so many were optioned in Bond-like colour schemes but this car was not! Instead, the original owner opted for Onyx Black, over an Obsidian black interior. God, even the colour names are cool! The car is sat on a set of 19 inch 10-spoke alloys, that are diamond cut, with anthracite grey recesses. They are wrapped in a matching set of Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. The exteriors black-ness is only slightly broken up by the signature clear tail-lights and carbon fibre trimmings. The interior is equally as special, the Obsidian black leather is contrasted in texture by Alcantara that adorns not only the factory fitted bucket seats, but the door cards, headliner, steering wheel and gearknob. The carbon-fibre is carried on into the interior, with the fascia finished in equally stunning exposed weave goodness. Under the bonnet, you will find the V12 Vantages namesake. A 6.0-litre hand-built V12, that produces 510bhp, which is enough power to deliver you to 60mph in around 4 seconds. In 2023, along an ECU remap, the car was treated to a primary catalytic converter delete that means it not only makes even more power, but has a sound track that could rival Black Sabbath. The decat and remap are not the only upgrades, there is a Bluetooth adapter that allows for music streaming and vitally the car has been fitted with the AM-upgrades headlamp venting kit, to avoid the incredibly frustrating and common fogged up headlights that plague Astons of this era. Despite covering just 60,000 miles across its life, the car has been maintained consistently, primarily within the Aston Martin main-dealer network, but more recently with marque specialists.
