Aston Martin dropped its 5.9-litre naturally aspirated V12 into the compact Vantage body and created one of the great modern driver’s cars, best of all with a manual gearbox. As the NA V12 becomes rarer, the V12 Vantage is increasingly collectible.

Performance in context
The draw is the combination: a big naturally aspirated V12, a small lightweight body, and, in the cars to have, a manual gearbox. It is loud, fast and increasingly rare in character.
The market: what a V12 Vantage is worth now
Manual V12 Vantages are the ones to watch as values firm. Cars typically trade around $120,000 to $250,000, with manual S models and the rare, final V600 well above.

What to look for when buying
- Manual gearbox — the manual cars are the most sought; automated-manual cars trade below.
- V600 — the final, limited V600 is a different tier; verify provenance.
- Service history — confirm the V12’s servicing and that known issues are addressed.
- Originality and mileage — original spec and low mileage lead.
- Paint and accident history — check for prior damage and repaint.
