2009 Aston Martin Vantage 4.7 V8 Manual – Mariana Blue – £20,000 ONO

48,800 Miles | 6-Speed Manual | Full 12 Months MOT

Few modern sports cars capture the spirit of a true British grand tourer quite like the Aston Martin Vantage. Hand-built, beautifully proportioned, and powered by one of the finest naturally aspirated V8 engines ever produced, this 2009 4.7-litre example offers the complete enthusiast specification — most notably paired with the highly desirable 6-speed manual gearbox.

Finished in the exceptionally elegant Mariana Blue metallic, this Vantage presents beautifully in all lighting conditions. A rare and sought-after Aston Martin colour, Mariana Blue sits perfectly between deep midnight navy and vibrant metallic blue, with subtle metallic flake that gives the paint remarkable depth and character in sunlight. Complementing the exterior perfectly are refurbished alloy wheels finished in VW Blue Chrome, giving the car a distinctive and sophisticated stance.

The bespoke interior was specially ordered and remains one of the highlights of the car. Beautiful blue leather is paired with light tan leather seats, creating a timeless and luxurious cabin environment, while the blue Alcantara headlining completes the specification perfectly. The interior condition is genuinely exceptional and presents almost like new.

Specification & Highlights:
• 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V8
• Desirable 6-speed manual gearbox
• Mariana Blue metallic paintwork
• Bespoke blue and tan leather interior
• Blue Alcantara roof lining
• Optional garage door opening control
• Refurbished alloy wheels in VW Blue Chrome
• Excellent tyre condition with plenty of tread remaining
• Full 12 months MOT just completed

The car has covered just 48,800 miles and drives exactly as an Aston Martin should — refined at cruising speed yet utterly engaging when opened up. The naturally aspirated V8 delivers a soundtrack and throttle response that modern turbocharged cars simply cannot replicate.

Condition:
The interior is in outstanding condition throughout. Externally, the car presents extremely well and I would confidently describe it as a solid 9/10. There are only very minor imperfections to note, including a small chip to the passenger door and roof, both of which are difficult to notice unless specifically pointed out.

The vehicle benefits from substantial service history, though not entirely complete. The last major service was carried out approximately 12 months ago, with receipts totalling over £1,000 included. The car has also just passed its MOT with only one advisory noting that the rear brake pads are becoming low — a brand-new set of rear pads will be included in the sale. New pads on the front discs were fitted 150 miles ago.

Please note:
• Private registration not included
• Recorded as a Category N insurance claim in 2016
• Offside headlight sits slightly out of adjustment (approximately 1/4”), though this has never affected MOT testing and the vehicle has passed 10 MOTs since

Now offered at £20,000 ONO, this represents an opportunity to acquire a beautifully specified manual V8 Aston Martin at exceptional value.

A rare colour combination, timeless styling, and one of the last truly analogue Aston Martins — a car that feels every bit as special as it looks.

Serious enquiries welcome.

I am 67 years old and now ticked another box on my bucket list. I have owned the car for 10 months. No problem with the clutch. Works perfectly, I have no information of a change, although it must have been done at this mileage. Problems usually arise on the sportshift, rather than the manuals.
