This Aston Martin Vantage is a very low-mileage example of the thrilling and strikingly styled modern performance car, equipped with a rare manual gearbox – understood to be one of just five Australian-delivered cars with this option. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8, delivering 375kW to the rear wheels through a seven-speed manual transmission. The car has only covered around 1,100 km since its last main dealer service in October 2023, and the seller reports that it remains in showroom-quality condition. The odometer shows 1,950 km. It remains covered by Aston Martin’s three-year manufacturer’s warranty until 28 April 2024. Since 1950, the Vantage reference and nameplate has been an indicator of enhanced performance within the Aston Martin model line. An aggressive evolution of its V8 Vantage predecessor; the latest model blends elegantly sculpted bodywork with a riotous powertrain. The car is finished in Onyx Black Metallic with silver roofline strips and the bright finish Vaned Grille, over a black leather-trimmed interior with gloss black inlays and contrast yellow stitching. It rides on a set of 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, framing yellow brake callipers and fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres. Equipment includes a multifunction steering wheel, adjustable dampers; switchable Sport, Sport+ and Track modes; switchable traction control, automatic stop/start; a central infotainment screen with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto; a digital dashboard display; electrically adjustable Sports Plus Seats with heating, ventilation and three-position memory; push-to-start, automatic air conditioning, six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, 360-degree cameras, blind spot sensors, and smoked LED tail lights. Accompanying the vehicle will be the original owner’s manuals and service book, a tyre repair kit, two key fobs, an emergency key, a battery charger, an Aston Martin umbrella, a car cover and a recent service invoice. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The car benefits from full aftermarket PPF, fitted at a cost of $7,200. The seller notes in particular that the engine has been ‘run in’ correctly with considerate use. The most recent service was in October 2023 at 786 km, where staff at Aston Martin Queensland replaced the engine oil, oil filter and transmission oil, and topped up the brake fluid. The pre-delivery inspection was completed in April 2021 by Aston Martin Melbourne. This Aston Martin Vantage is a hugely capable contemporary performance car, with a beautifully balanced chassis and precise steering – and a highly desirable find for keen drivers with its exceptionally rare manual gearbox. A very low-mileage car with a generous factory specification, it would make an attractive addition to any marque enthusiast’s stable, and promises to thrill with its prodigious pace and intoxicating V8 soundtrack.
