The Aston Martin is a hairy-chested, patriotic ’70s supercar that exudes sophistication - but it isn't for the faint-hearted. Here's our used buying guide:
If it isn’t quite butch enough, however, in 1977 Aston Martin launched the V8 Vantage, complete with revised ports, larger carbs, new cam timing and other tuning tweaks that resulted in a claimed 40% hike in power and raised torque by 10%.
Visually, it was disguised by a blanked-off grille, a deep glass fibre air dam and a ducktail rear spoiler. The suspension was stiffened and the wheels and tyres were suitably upgraded, as were the brakes, and indeed the price. “I loved driving the car, though. The rumble from the V8 was addictive. I used it occasionally for commuting from Kent up to my office in central London. In time, once I’d retired, its fuel economy and servicing costs meant it had to go. I’ve regretted selling it ever since.”You need to take a good look below the sill covers, which can easily be removed, to check on the structural integrity of the car. Most V8s of this age will already have had some work done here, so check the previous history.
