Aston Martin are a British sports car manufacturer best known for providing James Bond his wheels. In fact, you can find an Aston Martin vehicle prominently featuring in 13 of the 25 official Bond films that have been produced to date. However, Aston Martin dates back to over fifty years before the British superspy hit the silver screen; the company was founded in 1913. Today, driving an Aston Martin is a supreme style statement that you prefer the suave and sophisticated things in life, and when the mood strikes, rather enjoy being shaken but not stirred. This 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe is a fine example of one to own and drive. What’s better? It’s got just 41,740 miles which is pretty gentle for a 14-year-old car.
Styled by Ian Callum, the V8 Vantage model ran between 2005 and 2018, and could be had in V12 and V8 flavors. An iconic feature, which this 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe proudly showcases are the ‘swan doors’ that slightly rise when opening, giving the impression of a graceful swan about to take flight. The effect is all the more dramatized by gray paint job that this car wears. Head and tail lamps are signature Aston Martin, and together with the silhouette and crest on the hood and trunk, mean that this car will not be mistaken for anything else. Step aboard the two-seat interior in black, and you are faced with an ambience that still looks current, fourteen years later. Powered seats, multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters for gear selection, cruise control, climate control and decent sound system are all included. The interestingly styled instrument cluster highlights an anticlockwise-sweeping tachometer, which is an Aston Martin signature that continues to this day. Bar the absence of a touchscreen for the slightly dated infotainment system, you won’t be left wanting much, and there’s a beautiful engine tone waiting to distract you – so beautiful in fact that Jeremy Clarkson declared the V8 Vantage as Best Sounding Car Of The Year in 2005 when it was released.
While the bigger Vantage brothers packed the automaker’s signature 6.0L (or 5.9L depending on how you look at it) V12, this 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe rocks the smaller 4.3L V8 engine as the name suggests. Nevertheless, the quad-cam unit puts out a very respectable 380hp at 7,300rpm and 302lb-ft at 5,000rpm to the rear wheels via a six-speed automated manual gearbox. Zero to sixty is a sub-5 second affair, with top speed rated at 175mph. When it’s time to come to a halt, slotted Brembo brakes are more than up to the job. An Aston Martin battery conditioner is also included to keep the battery charged should this beauty spend an extended amount of time being parked – which it really shouldn’t! Go out and enjoy it!

Vantage has been a tag that Aston Martin used to use to denote the higher-performance variants of their existing cars, such as the DB7. But in 2005, that changed when this prolific British sports car maker decided to make a model called the Vantage. That’s what we have here, a first-generation Aston Martin Vantage V8 for sale from Poquoson, Virginia. The car has got a manual gearbox, a Caspian Blue interior and only over 41,000 miles to its name. If you’d like to experience one of the finest British grand tourers from the mid to late 2000s, as well as channel a little bit of James Bond suaveness, this reportedly all-stock car is ideal.
Aston Martin's are, in short, the ideal grand tourer, with looks to kill and performance that ensures smiles on every drive. Being behind the wheel of one calls for a good time and nothing less. Looking back at the multiple marques, the Aston Martin Vantage is the one that calls out the most; it's the perfect blend of luxury, class, performance, and a timeless design. Present today is this lovely 2008 Aston Martin Vantage Convertible; this piece of automotive greatness has a reported 39,999 miles on the clock and is grand touring loyalty at your command.
Aston Martin resurrected the Vantage name as a stand-alone model in 2005. Previously used to denote a more powerful variant of an existing nameplate, the Vantage is a grand tourer, just like the DB9 that slotted above it during the period. This particular 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe bears only 8,200 miles on its wheels and is said to have received a recent tune-up, as well as full maintenance done approximately four months ago. If you've ever wanted to channel your inner James Bond fantasies, just buy this car and let your imagination run riot, albeit within the confines of the law.
Aston Martin, known for their fine sports cars that carried James Bond around in many a movie over the decades, stunned the world when they released a four-door car in 2010. Called the Rapide, it was made until 2020, as a five-door liftback-styled executive car. Sitting on an extended DB9 and Vanquish platform, the Rapide quickly gained a cult following. It was recognized as a fast four-seater that served the Aston Martin enthusiast who had a family to satisfy as well. Today’s 2016 Aston Martin Rapide S is thus ideal for the petrolhead with commitments, and has traveled 26,000 miles so far. It’s located in Garfield, New Jersey, and if you’re still on the fence about buying this car, perhaps its lovely 5.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 will be the necessary factor to swing you towards this captivating machine.
Let’s face it, there’s no escaping the SUV onslaught. Every automaker who is somebody these days has got to have an SUV or at least a crossover in their line-up. Ferrari does, Maserati does, Lamborghini does, everyone does. Today’s candidate is Aston Martin’s finest in the SUV space, a 2021 Aston-Martin DBX from Fremont, Indiana. The DBX was introduced in 2020 and is related to the Vantage. This particular example has got under 24,000 miles on the clock, making it a suitably low-mileage example for someone who is searching for a fantastic British SUV with some James Bond-esque coolness.

The Aston Martin DB9: a car that was so well-designed it stayed in production for 12 years, and continues to impress over 2 decades after its launch. In 2004, it took over the DB line from the outgoing DB7. While it’s predecessor was often criticized as being a Jag XJS in a fancy dress, the DB9 was developed as a fresh car (in fact, there is some speculation that Aston Martin avoided calling it the DB8 to distinguish it even more from its predecessor). The convertible version was named the DB9 Volante and debuted in September 2004 with softer suspension than the coupe and extra reinforcement to protect the occupants in case of a rollover incident.
