Is there a can bus system ?
Or can you use a can bus system battery charger on a v8 vantage?

hello steve

What year is your car? ,
to answer your question yes there is a canbus system on your vantage but if its an older vantage it shouldnt cause problems with battery charging, if you just need to connect a maintenance charger to keep the battery topped up there loads of posts covering that subject on here.
If it needs replacing or charging theres a few things to reset ( windows etc) but you can do those, do avoid using boost / start settings on battery chargers as these pile loads of current into the system
I understand why you have asked this question , some vehicles notably BMW are very sensitive , replacing the battery or charging it after its gone flat can cause all kinds of electrical problems requiring various coding / resetting procedures which can only be carried out with a diagnostic device.
hope this helps
