Given the great colour and apparent low mileage (as well being a manual) you have to wonder why it’s turned up here. These are wonderful cars (I’ve had two) but unless it has a full (and I mean full) service history, that includes coil packs, rotors, regular coolant flushing, dedicated underpinning reviews (bushes and floor pans need proper attention) etc etc., then avoid at all costs. Even at silly money, it’s a journey you may not want to go on without that history. Oh, and you will need to put up with that one piece of really poor design, and that’s the way the entry door felts and rubbers wear away in short order and look pretty horrible. Still not properly resolved by AM.
@leedstown exactly what I said the classic car market is coming to a close another 2 years I reckon. But depreciation is starting to set in from Now. !!!!
A lot of cars that go to auction are because the owner has died or has failing health and its a relatively hassle free way of selling them. This would have been someones toy, not an everyday car.
There is nothing especially unreliable about these. The engines are based on the AJV8 and are pretty bulletproof, the cars are all aluminium so rust is not an issue, not heard anything bad about the Graziano gearbox either. Electronics probably the most likely issue... Just like every other car of this age outside Lexus.
Love that colour, miles better than the all too common silver ones
I agree, silver for an Aston is like red for Ferrari - too obvious
Lovely, can't beat a nice V8!
I’ve had a few, and the service invoices I’ve seen is truly eye watering ! 😫
winner 🤛🏻🔥💯💪🏻
Lovely car 😮

Or you can have a rusty mk1 Ford escort for the same price. Worlds gone mad
They were less than £100k new; £80k or so, but then in 2006 that was a lot of money. Still is!
Not convinced they’re all that to drive though.
Service history very patchy. 7 stamps when it should have more like 18!
The classic car market is coming to a close
The classic car market in the UK is worth £5.5Bn to the economy.
What do you mean

Welded up filled with a Number plate then wafted over 2dr mk2 escorts worth more 😂
Jealous ?
@@tonyireland2234you got no idea how much more my fast ford collection is worth than this you mug
Good it’s a manual ! Sportshift auto quite unpleasant
Agreed but the general transmission balance and meshing is pretty poor and wasn’t fully resolved until about halfway through the 4.7 production.
I’d have it in a v8 heartbeat but it scares me why someone would put it into auction…. I could buy it, but couldn’t afford to repair it.
Or the road tax. 😂😂😂
Very clean MOT history, hardly been used the past 5 years which could be the reason for sale.
