Aston Martin V8 Vantage 1987

Affectionately refereed to as 'The Beast' by her most recent keeper
For those who haven't driven a Vantage with the RS Williams 7.0 liter engine upgrade we cannot recommend it highly enough, the vantage never really wanted for power anyway so putting a confirmed 455 bhp and 520 ft / lbs under the bonnet turns this into a modern car killer
Complete with fuel injection, revised cam shafts, larger throttle bodies and new ECU's she is on the button and unerringly smooth having covered only 7000 miles since the treatment was given
Finished in Cumberland Grey over Black Connolly leather her subtle hues give no indication to 'The Beast' that lies within, although the 1990s spec wider arches, wheels and tyres do hint at her thoroughbred underpinnings
And they are thoroughbred as not only has the engine been upgraded but a new handling kit including up-rated suspension and braking has also been applied to help tame 'The Beast' within
In essence a modern twist on the Vantage with upgraded suspension, engine completed retrimmed with again updated bodywork with Prince of Wales specification
A real standout piece, worthy of any collection
