This car is available to BUY NOW on The Market., where over 90 photos/video fully illustrating the car and its service history are available, and there is the ability to ask questions directly to the seller. The text below is just a brief summary of our full description.

This stunning 'Oscar India' model 1979 V8 Vantage presents exceptionally well and has been restored, through various phases, to the highest standards throughout its well-documented life.

It is an original, manual gearbox V8 Vantage and benefits from having had some 'X-Pack' specification engine upgrades at some point in the 1990s.

More on that later.

The original colour combination of Raven Black paintwork with a red leather interior is undeniably bold, striking and dramatic.

We have driven the car and came back from our trip thoroughly impressed. It starts, goes and stops with the pedigree feel of a hand-built supercar.

Yes, you're aware that this is a car that tips the scales at around 1800 kgs, but there's more than enough brute force to propel it along at a grin-inducing rate.

Together, the engine, exhaust system and four Weber carbs conspire to create a very special cacophony of snorts, barks, rips and pops – particularly while the car is getting up to optimal operating temperature.

Once warmed up, the acceleration through the power band is impressive, even by modern standards, and the V8's thunderous roar leaves you in no doubt that you're at the helm of a powerful machine.

If the car's fabulous lines don't turn heads, the soundtrack certainly will.

We've searched high and low, long and hard to find fault with this glorious car and we have to report that, bar a couple of minor points, we've failed in that mission.

In our opinion, it's every bit as good as it looks.

And it looks sublime.
