1985 ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE COUPE

--Salisbury Blue with Magnolia leather, Piped Blue and Beige Wilton Wool carpeting, 5-speed manual transmission, RHD.

This V8 Vantage was sold new in Leeds, UK.  It has a fully stamped service booklet from new, all maintenance having been performed at official Aston Martin agents-dealers or UK Aston Martin specialists.  All UK MOT inspection certificates accompany car from 1988 until its export only only one year ago, thus having only one-owner from 1988 until 2010.

In 1991 the exterior stripped and repainted, during this process the body was converted to larger Vantage Volante type flares and front air dam at quite an expense using all factory original parts.  At this time, the interior was completely stripped cleaned, retrimmed and or reconnilized where needed.  More recently this V8 Vantage has received a new clutch as well as a major service-maintenance.

This V8 Vantage is complete with service and ownership history, spare wheel, factory tool roll, jack, spare keys and owners handbook.

This V8 Vantage is excellent structurally, it has recently been serviced, the interior is excellent, the paint is mediocre, it could use a respray.  Thus, the reason for our only asking $139,500.00.  It is owned by a member of the Autosport Designs Inc. team.  With a second child on the way and being a servant of the automotive world throughout the day, there is just no time to give this V8 Vantage the time and effort it deserves to bring to the “next” level with regard to condition.  We are interested in reasonable and fair offers as well as trades.
