I sold my 2008 V8Vantage to my youngest son’s best friend last June. I had found a 2008 Mercedes CLK63 Black Series with 1500 miles on it and bought it. I missed having the Aston so I searched for almost a year. Two weeks ago I found a 2016 V8Vantage GTS with a manual at Aston Martin of Orlando.
I traded in our Mercedes CL 600 and couldn’t be more pleased with our new (to me) Aston Martin. It is Timeless certified and only had 4444 miles on it. It is Tungsten Silver with a Cream Truffle interior and is in perfect condition.

Beautiful.
Being one of the very last VH models sold in the USA, a wonderfully significant car to own.

'Limited Edition, 1 of 100. Coupe or Roadster, Manual or Sportshift. From $137,820. USA only and the last version of this generation V8 Vantage sold in USA.'

Lovely looking car and welcome back!

If I recall wasn't the GTS the US name for the N430 special ed, sold at the same time in the UK?

Welcome back, great buy!

In your other post I saw the car has GTS written on the seats; is there a GTS badge on the back too? Or somewhere else?

Ahh I see Jon has pointed out in the other thread that it was the Vantage GT that was the N430. Hmmm, so what was the GTS called over here.....


Tim's website has the answer... was unique to the US market it seems.

Congrats on the new Vantage, looks really good and very limited being a manual GTS Lux.

But I'm sure i'm not the only one who would like to see more pics of the CLK63 Black Series too! biggrin

Very nice! Time to get that car run in properly! 4000 miles, shocking under-use smile

That's gorgeous. The yellow calipers really work with that colour paint.

Gotta admit I've always thought the CL600s were pretty neat cars themselves!

Love the GTS.

Lovely GTS Gene, much prefer a lighter coloured interior to the all black ones.
