ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE X-PACK

‘My first classic, and still in my garage after 13 years. Having endured some really bland (but ferociously expensive) company cars, I needed something completely different. I was thinking about a Ferrari but saw an ad for the X-pack and fell in love. It can be a sod to start sometimes and it drinks fuel, but it’s taken us on many long tours and has never broken down, touch woodgrain.’
