Exterior

Finished in sparkling Onyx Black with freshly diamond cut wheels this low mileage Vantage S looks fantastic against our studio background. The paintwork is deeply glossy with few defects to note, she’s arrow-straight along both sides, and the rear lights are free from moisture ingress. The original carbon fibre front splitter and rear diffuser are in excellent undamaged condition, and completing the look are the factory optional carbon side strakes. Having just been refurbished to the highest standard by Lepsons the original 19-inch wheels are perfect all round. An honest dusting of light frontal stone chips across the bumper evidences the car’s honesty.

Interior

Surely the perfect spec with supple Obsidian Black upholstery and a complementing Piano Black fascia, the interior is a great place to be. The cabin is lavishly appointed with premium leather hand-finished with a contrasting stich. Both seats are extremely well presented with only the very lightest of wear on the driver’s outer bolster to report. Original Vantage S deep pile overmats are retained in the footwells, and the switchgear is immaculate.

The engine bay is exceptionally clean and tidy, further testament to the car’s careful ownership and comprehensive Aston Martin service history since new. The 4.7-litre powerplant produces an impressive 430hp with an intoxicating V8 soundtrack to match; paired with the 7-speed Sportshift II gearbox and factory limited-slip diff, it makes for an engaging and thrilling drive.

This beautiful black on black Vantage S was originally supplied in August 2012. In the hands of 6 registered keepers it has driven only 41k miles from new. The accompanying History File comprises the original leather-bound owner’s guide and service book, a clean HPI report, the V5 registration document, a raft of invoices, MOT certificates, and a spare remote key. The car was last serviced in October 2023 just 400 miles ago and, most recently, it has received new front brake discs and pads, a new oxygen sensor, and a new crankcase breather, the invoice for this work totalling £4,249. Furthermore, all four wheels have just been fully refurbished by Lepsons with the correct diamond-cut finish at a cost of £590. The full Aston Martin service history is as follows:
