2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage | Preston, Lancashire

A 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, the compact British sports car known for its naturally aspirated V8 and near-even weight balance between the axles. It pairs a long bonnet and short tail with a body that feels tidy rather than oversized. This car is black with a black interior, in excellent condition. The colour is sleek and understated, and the two-seat cabin keeps the attention on the driver and one passenger. Its 4.3-litre V8 is the original engine size for the model, which moved to 4.7 litres later. Advertising, photography and fashion shoots can use the low, wide stance and black paintwork, which picks up reflections from buildings and studio lights. Music videos and film and TV work can use it for a sharp modern arrival or a drive-by. At an event it works as a static centrepiece. It also suits a groom's wedding arrival. The car is based in Preston, Lancashire.
