Short story about my own introduction to this car. A couple years ago I went to a man's house in my local area to buy a used polisher I found on FB marketplace. After paying him I was about to leave, when I realized I'd under-payed him $20. I knocked on his door again to make things square, and he appreciated my honesty enough to open up his garage to show me what he had. And a Vantage V550 was sitting there, dark red with cream interior and wood trim. At the time I didn't really realize what I was looking at as I wasn't yet familiar with the Vantage V550 model, but when I went home and did a quick google search on it I couldn't believe how rare and amazing a car I'd stumbled upon. So butch and beautiful at the same time. He let me sit in it too. I've been fascinated with this model ever since.

@edh7492 Год назад

This has been one of my favourite cars since I was about 10 when I saw it on a Clarkson VHS in 1996, it’s easily still in my top 10. Saw one in London in the late 90’s and the dude driving it wasn’t sparing the horses! 🐎

@CraigMcB68 Год назад

That's the same Clarkson video thst got me hooked. I saw those shutters go up at the old Newport Pagnell factory and the V550 rolled out, it was like a space ship compared to older models. That video was with me until I managed to buy the car in the video. I'm so glad I got James to review it. So many positive comments and people quoting that Clarkson review. Seems it wasn't only me who was obsessed with the old girl all these years.

@marcushull12 9 месяцев назад

I`m a lot older but I fell in love with it then too, with Pink Floyd`s Welcome To The Machine playing as it rolled out .. I have to disagree with Gem though , the pale metallic green looks better than the BRG.

@robseybaby1 Год назад

In the early days of Top-Gear magazine they did a head-to-head of the Vantage vs the the Bentley Conti R - the Aston was always the one for me. I pored through that article over and over until the copy literally disintegrated. Every bit of it is seared into my brain for eternity and now the sound of the engine under heavy load in your video has joined it!

@LexFez Год назад

Stumbled upon this in a mayfair dealership as a lost 19yo wandering around London some 25y ago. The sheer size and muscularity of the thing stopped me in my tracks. It felt like swimming next to a whale shark. Proper British monster this thing. Up there with the Bentley Turbo R for presence!

@AntoniusTyas Год назад

I remember knowing about Vantage back during the GranTurismo 2 days. Back then I really don't understand why would I pay a lot more for Vantage than the prettier DB7. I think now I have grown out of that phase and found new appreciation for these British bulldogs.

@originalforgery Год назад

Without doubt my favourite all time car. Can't think of anything that screams "Made in England" louder than that. Utterly glorious...... Great video - thanks....

@rogerpayne5336 Год назад

This is the definition of " brute in a suit" ! Love everything about this V550....This and a late ( 1989 - 91) Aston Martin v8 Vantage are more desirable than the modern day v8 vantage to my eyes. If I was forced to pick one it'd be a 1991 v8 Vantage.......Great cars one and all.......Bravo Aston !

@BillyBoy444 Год назад

One of my favourite cars from the late 90's. I remember Clarkson saying it only needed 6th gear because of the huge torque you could pull away in sixth and just leave it there. Think the only thing more crazy at the time was a Lister Storm and good luck k finding one of those to test 😅

In 2011 their values were in the doldrums and I had a keen interest in one for sale in the Manchester area in the same colour green. I had the funds to be able to purchase the car for cash then my brain kicked in from craving to sensible mode and bought a new Mondeo Titanium Est. with all the bells and whistles. I've still got the car and did I regret not buying the Aston? I've kicked myself ever since. There values have now increased considerably .

@markchip1 Год назад

@n0w3lly90 Год назад

That car for me was the apex Aston: back in the day, for a young guy, a centrefold spread of that car was more self-pleasuring material than a "found" copy from your mate's dad's gentlemen's glossy mag collection 😂 It was the muscular stance and haunches, those sexy triple headlights, big body kit, and - yet - still the gentleman's club interior. The definitive British bruiser which oozes character, but also noise and huge power.
