Good morning everyone,

After finally getting the opportunity to clean it this morning I thought it was about time I introduced my recently purchased 2006 V8 Vantage 4.3 Manual in Meteorite Silver with two-tone Falcon Grey /Phantom Grey interior.

Purchased the car from Just Aston’s / AML Performance in Macclesfield through Mark who was exceptionally helpful and the whole buying process was a pleasure.

Having had the opportunity to fully inspect the vehicle on ramps prior to purchase I’m happy I’ve made the right choice! It drives great!

Already have some longer drives planned...it’ll be taking a trip to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July :-)

Anyway, here’s a few quick photos :-)

Paul.

Congrats on the first Aston. The early V8V is such a timeless design it looks as great now as when it was released.

Congratulations - lovely looking car!

I assume the 6-bar front grille and the clear rear lights were additions by a previous owner? Both suit the car very well.

Thanks all for your replies, I was initially looking for a black interior however on seeing the grey I thought it looked great and a little different too!

Yes, I’ve received a copy of the original spec at time of build from Aston Martin HQ and neither are listed as options, however I’m not sure when they were added but I think they suit the car well!

Very nice
I like the darker grey because it allows the wheels to pop without the difficulty of looking after a black car.
Mine was originally MX56D** so might be related lol

Hi milu
Sorry for hacking this thread, I’m on your cl500 post and was wondering did you get to the bottom of the wayward suspension problem on it?

Cheers

Scott
