1996 Aston Martin V8 Coupe

Description

1996 ASTON MARTIN V8 COUPE

Finished in Buckinghamshire Green with Magnolia and spruce green Connolly hide interior, with burr Walnut finishers. Equipped with 4 speed automatic transmission and optional sports exhaust.

A superb, low mileage and factory maintained example of the rare and highly acclaimed V8 Coupe. Delivered and first registered when new to Aston Martin Mayfair in November 1996, this exceptional car was retained for 5 weeks as a demonstration vehicle, before being purchased by and delivered to it’s first private owner in December 1996 with 250 miles recorded.

Enjoying the car for some 20 years, whilst covering only 18,000 miles, servicing and maintenance was carried out exclusively by Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell for the first private owner, prior to our purchase and resale of the car in 2017.

Successively maintained and serviced by Aston Martin Works and ourselves, for the subsequent two owners, the mileage covered to date is just 22,500 miles in total.

With 3 private owners from new, this exceptionally well presented and maintained example of the V8 Coupe, one of the last hand-built Aston Martin models manufactured at the Newport Pagnell manufacturing facility, is in exceptional condition in all respects and is a credit to the cherished ownership and comprehensive maintenance regime, extended to this car.

With less than 70 right hand drive examples built, the V8 Coupe offers a relaxed, comfortable and rapid Grand Touring experience, at a fraction of the cost of its supercharged big brother, the V8 Vantage V550. Sharing the same chassis and suspension architecture as the Vantage V550, the less complex nature of the V8 Coupe’s normally aspirated V8 engine, producing a healthy 350 bhp with 370 ft lbs of torque, propels the car to a top speed of 155 mph, whilst being less costly to maintain and fuel.

Equipped with superbly comfortable Connolly hide covered 8-way heated electric seats, climate control, ABS and air bag safety features, cruise control and ample stowage which, when combined with the plentiful power from the 5.3 litre engine and reassuring reserves of handling and road holding, give the driver a compelling combination of classic and contemporary GT motoring.

Included with the car is an extensive history file which includes the originally supplied owners handbook with fully stamped service record pages, continuous MoT certificates from 1999 onwards, all service and maintenance invoices, former keeper V5 registration documents and a copy of the original sales invoice when new, issued by Aston Martin Mayfair.

Supplied freshly serviced, MoT tested, prepared to our usual exacting standards and inclusive of 12 months warranty, the original factory supplied vehicle tool kit and spare keys.
