2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage



Regular readers of my website will know that I sold my V-12 XJS because of my health. My heart problems have led me to re-evaluate my priorities, thus leading me to acquire a car that I have always wanted.

An Aston Martin.

In the link below are pictures of my 2007 V8 Aston Martin. It has a manual 6 speed transmission and runs on 19 inch wheels. The car has a documented 3697 miles on the odometer. Simply put, the remarkable low miles were too much for me not to buy this car.

My intention is to again document some repair/maintenance procedures that my health will allow me to do.

My primary intention however is to drive the car like I rented it, getting the most enjoyment out of it as I can.
