Known as the 'baby Aston', the Aston Martin V8 Vantage may have been the entry level model, but that doesn't mean it can't hold its own against its supercar rivals. The cheapest way to get behind the wheel of a 'modern' Aston Martin, 18 years since its launch, early 4.3 litre variants can be picked up from as little as £25k. For me, the later 4.7 litre, 420 bhp variant is the pick of the range and great examples can be yours from £30k.
The V8 Vantage combines beautiful styling, a masterpiece 4.7 litre v8 engine and for now, a tempting price tag. All of which define it as a modern classic in the making. Join me as I take this manual 2008 model out for a drive and talk you through what it's like to get behind the wheel, what to expect in terms of ownership and help answer the question of does it still feel special after all these years?
