Passionately conceived, expertly curated, and exquisitely executed, this trio of Aston Martin Vantages offers a unique appreciation of – and insight into – the superbly capable and versatile model.
It celebrates not only the Vantage’s immense and varied competition success but also its firsts and lasts; not to mention its highs and lows. In the V12 Vantage GT3, the collection honors a car which may conceivably prove to be the final V12-powered Aston Martin competition car ever made, while the Vantage GTE represents a model which brought Aston Martin Racing back from the competitive brink to secure yet further Le Mans glory. Finally, the Vantage GT3 embodies the future; the first in a line of new-generation turbocharged cars which will, in time, surely secure its place alongside the likes of the Ulster, DB3S, DBR1, DB4GT, and DBR9 in the pantheon of Aston Martin greats.
Significantly, Aston Martin has warranted in the consigning owner’s purchase contract that no other “Trio” – or similar collection of Vantages – will ever be produced in the future, rendering this particular commission all the more noteworthy. Each immaculately presented, having covered either minimal or no mileage, this truly represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and one which any appropriately committed Aston Martin collector should grasp with both hands.
