First registered on 11 November 1983, ‘A462 YGJ’ was supplied
new by the Aston Martin agent, Chapman-Spooner and delivered to
its first owners, James Developments Ltd in Romford, Essex. Owned
by Mr A Stevens, it was sold to a Mr P Daft of World of Computers
on 5 June 1995 (invoice on file). In October 1990 the car had
undergone extensive renovation at Aston Martin Works Service, as
evidenced by their invoice on file for the sum of £16,632.


Mr Daft entrusted the Vantage to Aston Works Service for servicing
and then to the renowned marque specialists R S Williams. While the
Vantage was owned by Mr Daft, R S Williams removed and rebuilt
the engine to full ‘X Pack 580’ unleaded specification at a cost of
£12,975. Their bill for this work is on file together with others relating
to extensive body/chassis renovation. R S Williams purchased the
car in June 2005.


R S Williams then sold the Aston to Mr C I Mason in January 2006 at
87,054 miles. There are various invoices on file relating to Mr Mason’s
period of ownership, issued by R S Williams and Nicholas Mee.
In June 2011 the car was sold on Mr Mason’s behalf by Nicholas
Mee to Mr Muller-Wrede, Berlin. During his ownership the car was
serviced in Germany by Krauthahn Berlin, Aston Martin main dealers.


There are numerous service invoices from Krauthahn on file, the most
recent issued in December 2013. As well as the aforementioned
bills, this exceptionally well documented Aston Martin also comes
with its original and two continuation service booklets together with
a quantity of expired MoTs and old tax discs. The car also retains its
original owner’s handbook. It is currently MoT’d and comes with a
V5C document.

This outstanding Aston Martin Vantage has been cherished and
cosseted by its enthusiast owners and only ever entrusted to Aston
Martin Works Service at Newport Pagnell or the very best Aston
Martin service agents throughout its life. Only 20,000-or-so miles
have been covered since the X-Pack conversion, 9,000 of them in
the last four years. Finished in Blenheim Silver with contrasting dark
blue leather upholstery, the latter preserved in extraordinarily good
condition, this ultimate V8 Vantage presents beautifully and is a
testament to the inherent quality of this hand crafted British supercar.
