'Brutal' was a word used more than once to describe the fastest Aston Martin ever on its introduction in 1993, but as the Vantage had no less than 550bhp available to propel its two tons, the choice can only be judged fair comment.
Power came courtesy of a blown version of Aston's 5,340cc V8. Twin mechanically driven Eaton superchargers being preferred to turbo-charging on the grounds of superior throttle response. Quite apart from its stupendous maximum output of 550bhp, remarkable enough in itself, the engine is monstrously torquey, producing 550lb/ft at 4,000rpm.
For those in need of even greater performance, there was the 'V600' package of enhancements, developed by Works Service and first made available in 1998, which raised engine output to some 600 horsepower and included up-rated suspension, brakes, wheels, etc.
This left-hand drive Vantage was built to French specification and delivered new to Monaco finished in Cumberland Grey with black leather interior. Subsequently, in October 1999, it was converted to full 'V600 Driving Dynamics' specification by Aston Martin Works Service.
The current owner purchased the Vantage at Bonhams' sale at the Goodwood Revival Meeting in September 2011 (Lot 206). At that time the car displayed a total of 59,846 kilometres on the odometer and came with full AMWS history from 1999 to 2005. The Aston had not been used since 2008 when overfilling the engine with oil caused an hydraulic lock, necessitating a rebuild. When the Vantage was offered for sale in 2011, the engine had been removed and the car partially stripped, though no remedial work had been carried out. The engine has since been reinstalled but it is not known whether or not the vehicle is operational.
Sold strictly as viewed, the car comes with copies of the 2011 purchase invoice, Car Record Card and Warranty Acceptance, plus an original UK V5C Registration Certificate.
