Description
Traditionally finished in British Racing Green with Connolly Fawn hides with Green accents and carpets. The V8 Coupe, introduced in 1996 is visually similar to it’s supercharged big brother, although was fitted with the familiar and normally aspirated 5.3 litre V8 engine. Producing, 350 bhp with 360 ft lbs torque and equipped 4 speed automatic transmission, the V8 Coupe sprints from 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds and on to a top speed in excess of 150 mph.
The example we are pleased to offer, built and first registered in 1997, is 1 of just 101 examples, hand built at the Newport Pagnell factory before production ended in 1999. Delivered to its first London based owner, via Aston Martin of Mayfair, maintenance was carried annually by them, before the cars first change of ownership in 2012. Subsequently, 2 further owners have maintained the car with the Aston Martin Works and authorised agents. A substantial and complete service history file, containing all maintenance invoices and Mot certificates, demonstrates a ‘no expense spared’ maintenance regime, by the previous owners and is included.
With similar aluminium bodywork, suspension and chassis architecture, but less complex engineering to the Vantage V550, the V8 Coupe is renowned for its touring capabilities. For being less costly to maintain and less expensive to acquire, all whilst offering similar levels of driving enjoyment to the owner and occupants.
Now, with 30,000 miles in total recorded, this exceptional V8 Coupe from the limited production hand-built era of Aston Martin manufacture, offers excellent touring capability in great comfort. With occupants fully cosseted in a spacious, elegant well and appointed cabin, there ample boot space for luggage and generous 2+2 seating.
On show and available now for inspection and demonstration at our Hertfordshire showrooms. 1 of 101 built.
