Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer this wonderful example of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (V580).  The Aston Martin V8 Vantage was hailed as “Britain’s First Supercar” when introduced due to its 170-mph top speed. Its engine was shared with the Lagonda, but it used high-performance camshafts, increased compression ratio, larger inlet valves and bigger carburettors mounted on new manifolds for increased output. Straight-line performance was the best of the day. When Motor Magazine tested the V8 Vantage V580, an incredible 0 to 60 mph time of 5.2 seconds was recorded, which was quicker than the Ferrari Daytona, its main competitor of the time!
