Equipment
'X-Pack' 432hp engine with four Webers, ZF 5-speed, alloy wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, wood dash, console trim and window trim, air conditioning, Alpine stereo, documented with a full service book, original owner's manual, warranty book, jack and tools.
Condition
Lefthand drive conversion. Immaculately repainted. The leather is supple and gorgeous and the wood is flawless. Despite the 61,049 miles on the odometer, this car looks new and is made even more desirable by the third pedal in the footwell. A lightly worn shift knob is the only sign of any real age on this car.
Market commentary
The extra power of the 'X-Pack' engine, the attractive European bumpers and the rarity of being one of 137 built in this specification sets this Aston V8 Vantage apart. Along with its exceptional condition it led the bidders at the Biltmore to pay a price effectively double that of a U.S. spec V8 Vantage, a decision with which there can be no argument.
