£98,8881998 Aston Martin VANTAGE V600

What we have here is the fabled, ultra rare and Legendary V600. A genuine future gilt edged Investment opportunity, together with the most brutal power & luxury combination; coupled to a factory hand-shaped Aluminium bodied road Aston; the last model to be built at an enormous hand-crafted cost, with very small production numbers. Subsequent Astons like the DB7, Vanquish, DB9, DBS, etc., are made mechanically in relatively vast quantities, similar to your run-of-the-mill FORDS, who had just taken over ownership at that time! This is the last 1998 Model Year to 2000 vastly improved model configuration, with traction control, which was sorely missed on most of the other V600s, that were later conversions of the older model.

This being also a Full Works V600, which includes not only the 600BHP/600Ibft Torque Twin Supercharged Engine, but the vastly improved V600 upgraded Supersports Exhaust System, together with the expensive complete V600 Braking and Suspension Systems upgrades. As this was so hideously expensive and exclusive, only a handful of cars had the FULL V600 WORKS, as many were just part V600 improvements. Contrary to belief, this was also the case for the 40 Le Mans specials that were made, that have a current value of £300,000 or €500,000 in LHD. (Which is essentially an inferior car, if it has not had the full WORKS V600 & is far more common than ours). The only difference being a metal interior trim & fuel filler caps, and different shape air vents in bonnet, wings & grill. Would you pay £200,000 to £300,000 more for that? Crikey! If someone likes the Le Mans so much, we could turn this into an exact clone for probably around £10,000+vat! Then will there be 41?

This car has a Luxury folder with nearly £82,000 worth of original Invoices, with 95% with Heritage Aston Martin WORKS in Newport Pagnell, who know this car very well indeed. It has a flawless special request Grain Wood Trim, coupled with unmarked Tan luxury leather interior with olive green piping to match the absolutely stunning metallic Buckinghamshire Green paintwork. It has special darkened smoked glass all round; a Aston Martin Works installed in-built trickle Battery charger system and a SAT-NAV, DVD/Multi-CD/Phone Unit with 2 remote controls; a Tracker Horizon and an exclusive special wooden steering wheel with Aston Martin Boss and spokes.

Entire car from top to bottom is in concours condition and has won several Cups in various competitions like Spring Concours, Waddesdon Manor and Woburn Abbey Concours. Surely a WORK of ART and an astonishingly moving, (not just literally), sculpture in Aluminium, the like of which will never be repeated at this price level; maybe possible for a new car selling for a Million pounds!

The last owner purchased this car April 2007 for £97,000 from the esteemed and World renowned Aston Specialist Dealer Nicholas Mee, with just 6,000 miles less than now, and then subsequently went onto spend around £24,000 on perfecting every aspect of this car, including the special heavy-duty Torque Convertor V600 re-configurated & uprated automatic transmission system. This is the only known V600 Automatic fitted by AM WORKS from new; there may be 1 or 2 other V600 that were converted from the arduous and strenuous manual, at a later stage, because of the ease of driving. For your peace of mind; 1 to 3 Years Warranty is available, together with a 100% Buyback Guarantee, as we believe this car will be worth £200,000 in 10-15 Years! We also accept P/Ex & low monthly payments with high residual values.

The list price of the V600 in the 1990s was over £233,000 without extras. Adding all the options this car has ontop, would be £1/4 Million, which in today's money equates to about £750,000! Better Investment than money in the Bank or a Pension & what an incredible hair-raising experience to drive-----not for the faint hearted or the shy retiring types, I am afraid, at 3 sec or so, acceleration in 1st automatic gear to 60mph and a 208MPH+ top speed! Jeremy Clarkson spun the wheels on changing gears at 100MPH or so!

At No.14th (10th Oct Issue), of the Sunday Times "50 All Time Great Supercars ever built" List! Being a full 4 Seater with complete, (unused) tools pack drawer, and a sizeable boot; this also makes it one of the most practical everyday use Hypercars, and so unbelievably rare as well!
