2012 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe 4,7L V8

Highlights

  • Smart black paintwork with tan leather colour scheme 
  • All duties and VAT paid for the EU
  • Low mileage of 38,124 kilometres

The Appeal

When you decide to take on sports car royalty like the Porsche 911, you have to get it right. Aston Martin certainly did. The V8 Vantage, particularly the later and more powerful facelift cars like this one, took the fight right to Stuttgart’s door. To was a more characterful and hand-crafted than the 911. And just as good. 
Here we have a very compelling example. It is the later, desirable 4.7L facelift model delivering 420bhp through a semi-automatic gearbox. Finished in striking black metallic with a contrasting tan interior, the specification is equally alluring. 
The car has covered just 38,124kms from new and is available in the Netherlands with Dutch import documentation and, according to the seller, all duties and VAT paid for the EU. A great example of one of the best sports cars of the last 20 years.
