Short story about my own introduction to this car. A couple years ago I went to a man's house in my local area to buy a used polisher I found on FB marketplace. After paying him I was about to leave, when I realized I'd under-payed him $20. I knocked on his door again to make things square, and he appreciated my honesty enough to open up his garage to show me what he had. And a Vantage V550 was sitting there, dark red with cream interior and wood trim. At the time I didn't really realize what I was looking at as I wasn't yet familiar with the Vantage V550 model, but when I went home and did a quick google search on it I couldn't believe how rare and amazing a car I'd stumbled upon. So butch and beautiful at the same time. He let me sit in it too. I've been fascinated with this model ever since.

OMG you finally got your hands on this beast!!! I remember a car mag at the time said it made 60s American muscle cars seem limp wristed. It is an awsome car , and V600 I remember reviews and price was huge. No driver aides , no silly tech and touch screens.

This is my fav Aston ever. Not the V600 and not the Le Mans because they had horrible styling changes. This one! Thanks for the great video and all the exhaust clips!

Aston Martin cars look so damn good. That beefy V8 sounds incredible. I always wanted a V550 here in the States.

My favourite all time car. The sound and looks are beyond anything else, a true British bruiser!
