7 | THE GOODWOOD REVIVAL SALE


Autocar summed up the Vantage as, 'a real Aston Martin; a big,
very beautiful, very fast, albeit expensive GT with so much appeal
and purpose behind it that it is more an experience than it is mere
transport.' On the road its potential performance was equally
staggering: 0-100km/h (62mph) being achievable in 3.9 seconds
and a top speed in excess of 320km/h (200mph) possible.


The Le Mans interior too was specially reconfigured in the sporting
idiom, boasting perforated, competition-style pedals, an oversize
tachometer, aluminium gear lever knob, 'button' starter and brushed
metal panelling instead of the traditional wood veneers, while the
Wilton carpeting featured embossed Aston Martin emblems.


One of 40 made, this limited edition Vantage Le Mans was delivered
new with the factory's V600 package installed. Finished in Aston Martin
Racing Green with Magnolia hide piped in Forest Green with green
carpets and Parchment Alcantara headlining, noteworthy additional
features include burr walnut veneer inserts to the fascia installed by
Works Service (in place of the stock silver-painted items) together with
power-fold door mirrors, and an Alpine navigation system.

'V335 KGX' has had only two owners from new and comes with
comprehensive Aston Martin Works Service and dealer network
service history dating back to its PDI at Lancaster Aston Martin in
December 1999. Serviced and MoTd by Aston Martin Works in July
2016, this low-mileage Le Mans V600 comes with its original book
pack, a quantity of invoices and MoTs, a V5C registration document,
and two sets of keys.
