1985 Aston Martin V8 Vantage (Ex Sir Elton John CBE)

Description

Ladies and Gentlemen, ‘Don’t let the sun go down on' this, a 1980’s Rocket car once owned by the Rocket Man himself, Sir Elton John

Ordered from and supplied by Nicholas Mee in 1985, this exceptional V8 Vantage was ordered and built specifically to Sir Elton specifications. Personally delivered to his Old Windsor home on the same day Sir Elton took delivery of a new Bentley! Finished in Royal Cherry with Magnolia hides, Sir Elton owned the car for some 16 years before it was presented to Christies in 2001, to be publicly auctioned along with his significant collection of cars. During Sir Elton's ownership the car was maintained regularly, regardless of the low mileage, with the engine upgraded in 1992 to the renowned 7.0 litre / 500 horse power specification, by Aston Martin Heritage specialists R S Williams Ltd.

Purchased at Christies in 2001 the car has had just four owners since then and has been maintained by Aston Martin specialists to the highest standards. Now with 48,000 miles covered the car is offered with a comprehensive history file, original service voucher book and owners manual. Last but not least, a copy of the Christies auction catalogue featuring this car and personally signed by Sir Elton John is included.

An undoubtedly excellent example with the added provenance of having once been owned by one of the worlds most prolific and highly respected ’Mega Stars', we are delighted to be reacquainted with this car and be able to offer offer it to market once again.
