Historically, British sports and luxury automaker Aston Martin applied the Vantage tag to existing vehicles, usually to signify the higher-performance derivative of them. All that changed in 2005 when they decided to make Vantage a separate model. Designed by Henrik Fisker and Ian Callum, the first proper generation of the Vantage was a huge success, and the second generation continued on a lively streak. This 2012 Aston Martin Vantage V8 Roadster is a lovely first-generation example and has received a recent servicing. With its soulful V8 engine, Sportshift automated manual gearbox and just over 24,000 miles on the clock, it’s now up for grabs in The Villages, Florida. Do you like it? You definitely do!
Exterior and Interior
The exterior presents in a metallic silver finish consistent with Aston Martin’s Quantum Silver–type palette, paired w/ Factory Multi-Spoke Aston Wheels and black calipers, maintaining a clean, original appearance. The Roadster soft top and signature wide grille give it the elegant, athletic stance the Vantage is known for. Inside, the cabin uses full black leather, the iconic Aston center stack, a pop-up navigation screen, polished switchgear, and the crystal-style key slot. The dash clock, aluminum HVAC knobs, and stitched leather surfaces create a luxury-focused interior, while the door sill plate and VIN panel confirm original factory build quality.
Engine
Power comes from the 4.7L Naturally Aspirated V8 rated at 420 hp & 346 lb-ft, paired w/ The 7-Speed Sportshift II Automated Manual, a single-clutch paddle-shift transmission that provides manual engagement feel with improved shift timing over prior models. The car features Aston’s classic RWD layout, a limited-slip differential, and a double-wishbone suspension at all four corners for balanced handling and GT comfort. The engine bay photos confirm the correct 4.7 intake casting and factory bracing, while the brakes use the standard ventilated disc setup with black Aston calipers. Together, the drivetrain retains the natural, mechanical character that makes the early Vantage Roadsters sought after.
Inspection
The 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante represents one of the most dramatic expressions of Aston Martin’s grand-touring formula, combining a naturally aspirated V12 with open-air motoring and unmistakably elegant British styling. This example takes that character in a more personalized direction, pairing its factory Sunlight Silver Metallic finish beneath a silver vinyl wrap with Chancellor Red upholstery, extensive carbon fiber detailing, aftermarket wheels, suspension upgrades, and an aftermarket exhaust. Showing approximately 50,039 miles, it also brings desirable touches such as Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio, embroidered Vanquish headrests, quilted upholstery accents, and a 2+2 seating configuration.
