A tastefully modified V8VS
Discussion
My wife came in as I pressed play and said “ what a boring voiceover “ and then when the vantage appeared simply “ yuk “.
The bonnet louvres were presumably borrowed from a old Defender ( urban ) and not sure where those exhaust tips were meant to finish.
As for the side badging no comment.
“ Stream cars “ also mentioned the interior “ Vanquish “ embroidery on the seats so perhaps he’s not an expert.
Colour looked ok though.

Free country and yours to do what you want to with it. I admit to probably chavvy but very slim spacers on the rear of my Vantage.....But really?!!
wheel spacers, done properly (tyre not extending beyond the arch) aren’t chavvy at all, otherwise the manufacturers wouldn’t fit ever bigger and wider wheels (same visual effect), see DB11 to DB12 evolution.

They can really lift the look of a car like a Vantage, especially with the right wheels, giving it a much more purposeful stance.
Anyone else notice that it sits a little high? - Reminds me of my even more dodgy (than this, but at least not aesthetically) S when I bought it as a wet behind ears wide eyed AM virgin (perhaps much like the narrator!) all those years ago
I like the interior however, I'm not a fan of the colour nor the black sills, nor the black wheels.
What on earth was the previous owner thinking when adding all manner of ugly badges, vents and enlarged chrome exhaust tips not associated with Aston and why does the 'S' badge look like it's in another post code area on the back in relation to the 'Vantage' badge?

best bit has to be that Jag ‘S-type’ side badge What on earth was the previous owner thinking when adding all manner of ugly badges, vents and enlarged chrome exhaust tips not associated with Aston and why does the 'S' badge look like it's in another post code area on the back in relation to the 'Vantage' badge?
Best of luck in the car sales business, Sir.
I could not get any further than this, so you immediately lost me (if I was to be a prospective buyer).
In his video, he criticised emails asking 'Are you OK'.
Perhaps get your own communication in order first, before criticising others.
A limited company has very recently been registered, as Stream Cars Limited, but might be a different business.
45112 - Sale of used cars and light motor vehicles.

A red S on a red car. I’m no expert but I thought the S was chrome on the v8S and they were red on v12S models. Might explain it?I still can’t fathom why the Jag S-type badge was put on and on just one wing (I guess it wouldn’t read right on the other; in which case, why bother?).
The badge on the bonnet look like something from an American car too.
Clearly not owned my someone gunning for a class win in a Concours competition!
Hi there, I'm Kevin from Stream Cars, the dealer that's selling this Vantage. I agree there's no accounting for taste and all offending items have been removed. Currently, the exhaust tips remain but they may be removed too, depending on the buyer's requests.
The sale video is here - https://youtu.be/fe9zda1L2rc?si=m2OVcAUslLbtM4xK
Thanks for all the comments. The only one that I feel compelled to answer is Jon39 - I have no idea what that verification page is! Could it be something to do with your security or browser settings? It's certainly not something I have seen before.
And my reference in criticising 'your' sic in emails was light-hearted and conversation-starting. It gets engagement, which is something that you have contributed to, so thanks for that.

Just appeared on Autotrader with most of the tat gone. Exhaust tips and black lower body remain but overall better. £59K ? Not sure about that

Thanks to the link of happyh65 I'd say that the funny muffler tips are those:https://www.simoniracing.com/en/muffler-tip-round-...
