V12 Vantage RS Concept

[D1FDS]

Spotted! The original V12 Vantage RS Concept is up for sale! Never knew it was still around- just 1000 miles and in Mako Blue....

It's not cheap though!

£345k. The 12 month warranty justifies it

Seriously interesting car. Didn’t know it had been road registered. Not sure I’d dare drive it on the roads. In the wet. Or dry.

Someone is booking a hefty profit on that. I think it last sold around 12 months ago for £250k

DBRS9 engine means a standard engine maintenance routine that is not cheap...

Love the cabin and the dry sump kit in the boot

The vents and the bonnet are one piece and it is carbon so you should go for it!

I don't think the asking price is unreasonable for such an important car in Aston's recent history. Probably a good investment, hopefully it won't be consigned in a dehumidified garage and the next owner will actually use it more than the previous keepers.

I've always loved this car

To me the appeal is that it isn't a totally cohesive design inside, because it's a concept which was more of a project car on a 'what if' basis initially, rather than something destined from the start to be a production car. It has to be viewed in that context. Likewise the lack of CF vents and why it's important (IMHO) that this car stays that way.

In fact when I bought my previous v12, the 6 speed manual roadster, I enquired about having the RS concept gearstick within my Q requests for that car, but the price was prohibitive..........
