If you put the Analogue / Digital comparison aside, the thing that always strikes me about the Vantage is that it makes you smile when you drive it.
Even after six years of ownership, I still smile when driving mine and HC certainly smiles in his video.
Sums the car up perfectly

^ Completely agree with the above. He's beaming through the whole clip.

He is an absolute cut above the rest when it comes to reviewing cars.

He obviously has a bit of a soft spot for Astons, particularly the 'analogue' V600.

Great filming, information and background music, top class production.

I completely agree to what was said above.
Henry Catchpole is top among the automotive journalists out there.

"Going out with a smile" - sounds like a perfect farewell to the old Vantage...
...I hope to drive mine for another decade.

I’m loving mine. (Ok it’s only a 550)

[UpTheIron]

Am I allowed to say that I'm not taken by the modified/modernised looks? Prefer the standard V12 (manual of course).

I've gone the other way and bought a manual R8 V10 to replace my TVR but it was a close run thing, if only I had more space (and money!)

What a stunning car

Brilliant video by HC as always.

It’s was his enthusiasm whilst a staffer at Evo magazine that made me switch my aspirations from a 997 era 911 to Vantage. His written article and video of the V12 Vantage Zagato stays with me.

Now it’s a very tough Q for the dream garage: Vantage Zagato, V600 (unobtainium), GT12 or V12V Spitfire with SS. Erring towards the Spitfire edition with its optional 595Bhp upgrade, stunning looks, everyday drive-ability and fitment of SS gearbox. I’m just not a good enough driver to handle that level of urgency and a gearstick. Excuse me while I go and grow a pair...

But I admit it. The V600 is the absolute pinnacle of the previous Vantage. Stunning. Absolutely stunning!
