2015 Aston Martin Vantage

Aston Martin has long been synonymous with performance and elegance, with a rich motorsport heritage that continues to influence its road cars. In 2005, the British marque introduced the V8 Vantage, a compact and dynamic grand tourer that quickly became a cornerstone of the Aston Martin lineup. With its bonded aluminum structure, near-perfect weight distribution, and naturally aspirated 4.3-litre V8, the Vantage was engineered as a true driver’s car. Over the years, it saw continuous development, with power increases, revised aerodynamics, and track-focused variants inspired by Aston Martin’s endurance racing success.

In 2014, the Vantage N430 was unveiled as a tribute to the brand’s achievements at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. A more aggressive evolution of the standard V8 Vantage, it featured a reworked 4.7-litre engine producing 430bhp—an increase over the standard model—paired with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed Sportshift II transmission. Weight-saving measures, including carbon fibre and Kevlar seats, contributed to a more visceral driving experience, while sharper suspension tuning ensured precise handling on both road and track.

Among the rarest iterations was the 'Stratstone' edition, a special commission by the renowned luxury car dealer group. Limited to just 16 examples, each was finished in Onyx Black with striking red and blue accents, echoing Aston Martin Racing’s signature livery. Inside, bespoke detailing set these cars apart, blending exclusivity with the N430’s raw performance ethos. With its limited production, increased power, and track-focused enhancements, the Vantage N430 'Stratstone' edition stands as a collectible tribute to Aston Martin’s racing legacy.

One of 16 aforementioned ‘Stratstone’ Edition cars, this particular Vantage was first delivered through Stratstone of Mayfair in October 2015. The car has been well-maintained throughout its life, with servicing carried out almost every year by main dealers or specialist outfits. Now showing just 29,529 miles on the odometer and with only four former keepers, it last benefited from a service at Aston Martin Cheltenham in November 2024, having covered just 540 miles since.

With an MOT valid until 19 November 2025, the vehicle comes with a comprehensive history file. Included is the original Aston Martin owner's and service booklet, containing seven stamps (with the latest Cheltenham invoice also present). A printed Stratstone Edition booklet is included, along with various folders containing invoices and receipts for historical servicing work. Both original keys are present, as well as a tracker fob still in its packaging.
