AutoArt 1985 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Post by Gavin » Sat Mar 13, 2021 12:44 am

I've wanted a model of this generation V8 for almost as long as I've been collecting (since the early '80's!). Within the span of a couple years, 3 different manufacturers released a version. Very glad I held out for the AA. Love the model & think AA did a great job.

Nice to see your back! This car remains me of American muscle with a little British twist! Nice add.

Thanks...its been a little while. :shame:

Totally agree with that sentiment...I've long thought these to be the British answer to the Mustang (though numerous steps up in price & prestige). Makes sense that I like the AM so much & that I ended up with an '07 Mustang GT (my avatar pic) :okay:

Great model. One of the last good ol’ diecast AUTOart made before they switched to plastic.

yup. I don't have any of their plastic models yet, but am very glad this was an old school Millenium diecast.
