Driven: The BAE Vantare ,The Reworked Aston Martin With The Unlikeliest Backer...

- Today, thanks to BAE Automotive I am driving the all new "BAE Vantare" - a car inspired by the classic Aston Martin DB5 of the 1960s. Far from a copy though, this is a look at what could have been and unlike the David Brown Speedback GT, it is built on an Aston Martin platform - in this case, the DB9.

I acknowledge the skill and desire it took to build, also the fact i would be very very lucky to ever own one. That said, subjectively, the front end looks like a melted welly.
It's an abomination
Yes, cut off the front lip and drop the wheel size and inch or two for the more classic look.
this reminds me alot of the new chargers/challenegrrs that are built like boats compared to older vers
Classic example of ATBGE - Awful Taste But Great Execution
well said.
Totally agree. The front looks misshapen and the proportions are all off.
I think the rear lights lenses would also do with being the correct colours to match the DB5 period styling. Clears lenses are a bit 'Halfords'.
I never thought of that but completely agree. It should be an option
The lenses are the least of its worries....
@@edwardfletcher7790 🤣🤣🤣
Proper coloured rear lights and smaller wheels needed, otherwise, what a car ! Top work Bradders and well done Jay getting to test it.
Looks like someone described an Aston Martin over the phone
Ha. Then faxed a dot matrix render over.
I think if the rear lightchrome covers are exhanged with red light units, the back end would be a lot better looking.
Its funny too.. at the start of the video, i thought the front fenders looked way too bulbous. At the end, now that I look at it, it actually works pretty well.
I like it. I'm glad people who have the money to do sonething like this occasionally decide to do so. Really cool.
I must admit my initial reaction was "oh no, what have they done" - but it did grow on me in the few hours I had it
@@JayEmmOnCars I agree that taller rubber will look much better and it will also improve comfort a bit. I think taller rubbey might have a come back in fashion.
I had no idea that the Vantare existed, I like the rarity and the fact that this car evokes emotions, car ownership is all about how the car makes you feel when you drive it. Excellent content JayEmm!
A de-beautified DB9.
Yeah, I'm with you on that one. The DB9 is such a beautiful car, you have to go a long, long way to improve on it. I can't decide whether this Vantare didn't go far enough, or went too far. Either way, it doesn't do it for me. I can't understand the desire to make a modern car look like an old one.
My first reaction was: “so the guys who make the Eurofighter are making a car?” I don’t know what to think though as an Aston fan.
A waste of 10 perfectly good DB9s?
@@Beer_Dad1975 agreed! They were perfect to start with.
Fantastic video James and I think the Vantare looks absolutely stunning. I really love unique cars and definitely something that no one else really has. Well done to the team for what they’ve done here. If I could, I’d have one 😉👌🏻👍🏻
I admire Bradley's passion for the car, and it's a remarkably good result, but I think I'd have aimed to keep it looking like the original, more resto-mod than re-modelling ... but all credit for what he's achieved,
I can't tell if I like it or not, but I've got to respect the idea that if you can't find the dream car that you also love to drive... Make it!
I really love the look of the Vantare. The perfect blend of old and new.
I respect the passion. Same with any niche parts of car culture.
But I just can't get over the way it looks. To me it looks like the perfect evolution of a DB5 if it's put on 20st since 1963 rather than a natural development of its design path (like the Fiat 500 absolutely nails in my opinion).
There are certain angles that it looks fantastic from.
But that said, I don't expect everything to be made to my personal tastes and needs. Especially not so when it's something that has clearly been created from a deep place in another person's heart.
Good on Bradley and everyone involved in its existence.
It would be interesting if you could get behind the wheel of one of the new 25 DB5 heritage cars AM have made last year. I understand they're practically identical to the originals, but I wonder what small nuance there may be between old and new.
Although I know that they're fantastically rare and probably only owned by the kind of people that don't hand them out to YT car reviewers...which is a shame
Awesome car. The back reminds me of a TVR for some reason. Thanks for getting unique cars like this on the channel. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
Saw this at the Classic Car show. Good to see it actually works and was not just a show exhibit.
Fantastic that there is the passion behind the project but personally I prefer the approach of the Callum Vanquish. Thanks for the diverse content James.
Really like the front end of the car and I love the side profile. The wheel design suits the car imo, but I do agree that the size needs to be an inch or 2 smaller.
The only part I don't really like is the rear end, the protruding rear light clusters just looks out of place.
Overall quite a nice looking car that I would buy if I had the money.
Hope Bradley Walsh and the others well in their project.
It's nice to see people with a passion for making unique cars. Sadly, I don't think the end result works very well. It looks like a DB5 and Cerbera mish-mash to me without the best bits of either.
It looks so weird to me
Great review as always James. Microbrands more and more common in many luxury goods. Great vision and execution by the makers which is an immense achievement. Just missing Louis Armstrong playing in the background on your closing credits !
We need more people who are willing to build their dreams, because this is a phenomenal looking car. I can't help but wonder thought will they do another retro rebody? Maybe a e type? Or a even another aston like the classic vantage?
Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
I can't work out if it's ugly or really beautiful.
It's like the Sarah Jessica Parker of the car world.
I shall feel conflicted the rest of the day...
Haha, I know what you mean...
Sat here in my nailed on miser's hat, I like it because it looks and sounds fantastic and won't ever rust.
Beautiful!! We’ll done on sourcing and presentation James.
Beautiful looking car, I like that it’s got exclusivity about it. You’d certainly stand out in that..job well done
Great review James!🔥. We had the opportunity of creating a 3D virtual tour of the Vantare. Having the car for the day was like a dream!
It looks fantastic but your right about the wheels thanks, for showing it to us Jay.
This is exactly the type of car I'd personally choose if I was in a position to buy such a thing. However, though I may possess the imagination and enthusiasm for one, I sadly don't have the sort of numbers on my balance sheet needed to support such a fantasy. But it is a very, very nice dream, and I'm overjoyed that it exists.
I've seen this exact car drive past me a month ago in London! It sounded incredible and the fella always did wheel spins at every green light!
World class editing and video quality...not to forget sound...big thumbs up!
Tbh I took a while to make my mind up about the styling but I think I could live with it.
I did my apprenticeship at Rolls Royce Small Engine Division Leavesden (Helicopter Engines). Didn't know Bradley but respect to him for producing such a machine.
I really like it. Really, really like it. What a wonderful piece of craftsmanship. A special thing indeed. Bradley Walsh should be proud.
Love that car!!!! the curve of the roof looks like TT mk1 very, very cool. Beautiful
I really like the styling and it's nice to know it's a true Aston underneath as well. DB9 is a great car, so you can't go wrong using it as the basis. The lines evoke the DB's of the 60's in a tasteful fashion. Much respect for the team that is putting this together as it looks great and the quality is impressive.
It’s absolutely gorgeous - I was at Goodwood when it was released and spoke to the manufacturer and I told him to expect to build 100 - 10 won’t be enough !!
Do love your channel, its quintessentially British. Keep up the good work
To my eye, better than any Zagato reiteration I’ve seen…..
Very balanced and flowing design. If you’d never seen the DB5/6 you’d love this “Aston” and would think the DB5/6 looked pleasant but not quite right….. 🙂
I like it. It is a nice tribute to the heritage with modern sensibilities. And I like every angle, including the rear. The only change I would make is to hide the screen, to keep it from aging.
Hello again, 'JayEmm', It looks great, well done to Bradley and the BAE guys. Regards, RichardA.
I love it! Wheels and everything! I think it’s worth the money too which I didn’t think I would say. Keeping in mind the customer production one is an improvement on this preproduction car I just think it has everything. Lovely styling! An excellent heart upfront and chassis! The sound! Even the colour! Could I ever afford one? Nope! But of all the ultra low number cars of this ilk I’ve seen this one captured me more than any other. Thank you for sharing and I thought the “morphing” segment of the different era Astons was brilliant and really did look similar to the Vantare
Looks like a car from Grand Theft Auto V. Has some incredible presence on the road though, great work by all.
Brilliant video as always, I found out about this car on the Fueling around podcast with Bradley Walsh as a guest - definitely worth a listen if anyone is interested.
Oh and a further note Jay - not that my opinion is asked for but I'm not a massive fan of this Thumbnail / Title combination. It feels a bit too "luring" which can sometimes be great but I think saying Bradley Walsh's Car in the title without an obvious blurred photo isnt necessary for videos of your quality! Just my un-invited 2cents though!
I like it more of a mix of the db5 and a volvo p1800. It's a really nice looking beast
Ah wasn’t sold when ah first seen it but what a glorious machine man 👌🏼
The thing sounds amazing you’d go bank rupt on petrol wae bootin it so you could listen tae it
Thanks J! I think from most angles it looks good, then you shift just a bit, & it's not quite right here & there. Great effort though, sounds proper, & thanks for the video!
Love the sound and the review Jay ... love the car... lets ring the bank manager
Saw it at the Classic Car Show, looks even better in the flesh......
As a previous and proud employee of ast*n for many years i say well done Bradley! What a great car. Nice one.
It looks BONKERS! Congratulations to everyone involved with this project.
Great review. Change the wheels for chrome wire wheels of 18 or 19 in.Agree with others to put in some amber & red tail lenses. Maybe make the front fenders just a tad less 'bulbous' and I think it would look even better.
Well done for this channel being different and the same goes for the car Bradley and his team. Funny how horses for courses I actually prefer the back to the front find those lights bit too busy. Slightly smaller wheels you steering wheel and maybe some insignia badges that's a bit more impressive would help, especially a limited-edition plaque if there's only going to be 10
Always liked Bradley Walsh. Like him even more now
What an absolutely wonderful thing
Thank you for letting me know it exists 🙌🏻
Amazing car....respect BAE's owners in coming with this car
A beautiful piece of engineering. Real head turner.
I like it. Kudos for the effort involved.
I just saw one of these driving in London today, it was driving along Old Street. I was captivated, it looks very, very nice. Seeing it in person is very different to watching it in a video, it looks so much better in person.
I just look at the number plate of the car in this video, it has the same number plate as the one which I saw today - I took pictures. Lol
Very interesting , one of those cars I could never afford but would love a shot in. I agree that the front end is stunning however the rear end looks weird. Almost like it’s a clay model . Anyway you have to admire the passion that’s gone into creating this. Hats off to all involved
Beautiful, stunning, a wonderful piece of work.
II love the way you talk about cars and the rhythm of you speech I agree with your comments on the Aston db5 which I still prefer however. 🇬🇧
That sound. I could listen to it forever.
I have seen this car before but this video is ,in my opinion is far far better put together . So close to greatness would be how I sum this vehicle but still I am thankful cars like this exist
Bieuteful, love the Qed bieutey pointers across the body lines of the car , Like it .
This is fab…..I mean I love the Khan Vengeance too….retro I’d feel yet proper artisan coach work and design….noice!
Not heard of the Vengeance before, thanks for the info!
What a beautiful looking and sounding car , love it
Love the look and sound of this car , where can I get more information on the BAE Vanyare?
Thanks
Great work Bradley. Cool car for a great guy.
I own a MY10 DBS and think this car looks really good😎
Great guy and a great car. What passion.
@JayEmm on Cars Thank you for sharing this project. Where DID he find those seats?
Now that's an interesting car and will be exclusive with the limited production run
Great video. Smaller rims would look better and maybe square up the front. The rear resembles a Rover 3.5 Coupe which is not a bad thing.
Well new subscriber here, what a pleasant change to have someone driving a car that doesn’t constantly take their eyes off the road to look at the camera, as for the car, polar opposite to you I like the rear better than the front, to me the wings and headlights are just a little bulbous but hey I’m not in the market for one, but if I get the lottery win, maybe! And we’ll done Mr Walsh, due respect 🤗
Love this channel. What a gem of a car. Thanks jay 👍🏼👍🏼
From an angled side/front view it has a whif of the Morgan Aero 8 front end. Another car that looks superb from certain angles and a bag on the head in others. As a car though it’s a love letter to a bygone era and you can’t help but like it.
I read in the comments of a lot of very negative opinions, but I would say to them love it or loathe it it is a very nice car and very unusual and original. So carry on driving your mainstream Honda or Ford or Hyundai.
Looks very special, sounds great.P.S like the shirt.
I mean full respect for the craftsmanship and execution and to being unique but (to me at least) it just looks all sorts of horrendous no matter the angle 🤷♂️
The sound of that engine makes me cry
At start of video, I agreed with Jay...rear slightly odd, but by the end, it had grown on me. If I had £300k to spare, I'd definitely go for one... always fancied an Aston, but current ones don't quite do it for me, and my dream one (80s V8 Vantage POW) more than this now!
Let me start by saying I have spent some time around the BAE Vantare, I can honestly say its a grower that it looks awesome in the flesh, especially in modern traffic where it just looks sensational compared to modern stuff. Not sure why but it looses some of the drama when viewed on a screen. Also worth pointing out that its a coachbuilt car hence there is a degree of customisation available, meaning the rear lights and wheel/tyre sizes could be tailored to individual tastes. Personally I love the interior (especially the crackle finish vents) which takes the game on from a DB9, also has Apple Carplay and Android Auto which is really all you need these days from a car stereo. These cars wont appeal to everyone, I think thats the point with limited run cars, look at the Mclarren Senna and all Zagato Astons. Im not totally unbiassed but I have seen and commend the amount of hard graft that goes into creating these statement vehicles. My only criticism, they are selling them to cheap and I’ve told the team this!
Love the look of this car. The price also seems very reasonable.
To the person that opts to own this and journey down the road less travelled… respect to you for not conforming to the supercar masses.
I had to laugh. It was almost like a parody episode of “Top Gear” - your wife in the passenger seat thinking “oh do shut up “Jeremy, we’re supposed to be on a weekend away”
I saw this at the Goodwood Members meeting and I’m sorry but I just can’t get over the looks. It sounds amazing though!
Fantastic car, the styling is amazing!
Go visit an optician!
Difficult to execute a ‘homage’ to the DB5 given so many have tried. This looks fabulous. An excellent effort that strikes just the right note. Well done to all concerned and thanks for bringing it to the channel.
Change all the wheels and your done I reckon. Beautiful!
The car looks amazing. Its got the zagato look, front end has hint of classic ferrari. I would get 1 if i had the money.
The car is beautiful!
This homage to the original DB5 reminds me of the redesign of the original Mini by Frank Stephenson which is perfect (NOT the bloated countryman and other variants)
Saw this in the metal at NEC Classic. Make no mistake it's absolutely hideous in person as well 🤣🤣
I’ve watched a lot of your videos. Have you ever driven a car and kept it between the lines? Honestly I guess the shape of this car kinda makes me queasy as you keep driving over the line. Beautiful car!
If great design should evoke a visceral reaction... Then that is certainly great design.
Love it or hate it.
much nicer than a DB9. Big up Bradley for following his passion and making it happen.
Well done Bradley......I love it!
I think it looks fantastic. And it sounds awesome too.
It looks like a sixties concept sketch, I dig it. More than the David Brown Automotive.
Edit: reminds me of the Invicta S1.
Hey Jay enjoyed the video and your presentation, as usual. Styling-wise this effort succeeds in its aim but the rounded front air dam catches my eye as a bit off. A much more squared or harder edged form there to add a bit more aggression might do the trick. Or perhaps a darker paint on the dam with a following band along the lower sill area including the rear valence would help along with giving it an even sleeker more compressed appearance.
Maybe if it was painted a darker shade or all black I'd have a different opinion. Cheers though to those that made it. I know what drives them...
I love that car and the looks are styling are amazing
It looks nice I agree with the DB5 and DB9 comments you made.
