Thanks To Bond Group for a drive in this Emerald Green over Kestrel Tan Vantage S Roadster! How would you spec yours?

[@palaherk]

Love the colour of it 🔥

[@louiearmstrong]

I expected $100k and not $69k. Cool car. Maybe Astons were all devalued by the Ford Fusion

[@McBeamer94]

I'd spec it exactly like this one!! Looks amazing!!

[@renzosalazar4942]

Green over tan is one of the best combinations in vehicles. Astons are the most elegant sports cars. Love from Peru Ted x

[@TedwardDrives]

Thanks Renzo! This car was optioned very tastefully

[@louiearmstrong]

THE best. In my opinion. See: Green on tan NSX, Mazdaspeed Miata, Porsches

[@LilXezon_1121]

Good color scheme.

[@TobiasRieper047]

Thats a sweet looking Aston Martin, the spec is gorgeous. I love how the wood inlay matches spot on with the cognac brown colored leather. An absolute gem of a car!

[@L0rdskullz]

One of the best sounding V8s ever put in production. The beauty of the car is just a pretty massive bonus

[@MushyBananas]

Definitely the LC 500 has one of the best if not the best sounding V8s

[@Printastic7]

@@MushyBananas absolutely great comment

[@twinspark_147]

Alfa romeo 8c and maserati granturismo have the best sounding v8

[@ARentz07]

I love hearing the engine sound echoing off the walls at 5:00! Glorious.

[@GadgetyMV]

"Top down motoring is the answer to all your problems" Yes, I agree! Thank your for this!

[@guguigugu]

i love this generation of astons, they were beautiful with no unecessary embellishments.

[@Evidently_grey]

Whoever picked the wood in the factory forr center console hats off

[@yes8032]

The brown interior looks soo good on luxury cars like Aston Martin

[@Max.44]

Maaan these Aston Martins are just something else. The more Aston content, the better!

[@alexanderflynn8270]

I just adore the noises that engine and gearbox make

[@rajarafe8736]

2:32 oh yeah you really went for it LMAO wasn’t expecting it off the rip but not complaining

[@calvintornabell7713]

Sounds insane and it’s such a nice touch with that interior

[@TedwardDrives]

The green carpet really ties it together!

[@axelognar8034]

I'd take this over today's Vantage any day of the week

[@martinschmidt7243]

These Aston Martins have so much charm. I'll never forget sitting on the passenger seat of a friend's Aston while ripping up mountain roads. Best moment ever! Great video, as usual.

[@kaihartmann924]

The DBS, DB9 and vantage from these years were just the best Aston has ever done in my opinion.

[@McBeamer94]

I've always loved the sound of this V8, although I have the sense that it softened in the 4.7 version! The 4.3 sounds more "hard rock" and it is much louder too! But either way, this V8 is one of the best sounding V8s ever! 🤘 The looks are incredible, the car absolutely doesn't show its 16 years, both inside and out! And the colour combo of this spec is amazing, Emerald Green metallic with matching carpeting, Caramel Brown leather and Red Open Pore wood! Gosh! 💗

[@user-yo3kf9fl5d]

The S has a louder exhaust

[@dancinglizard3080]

the real question to be asked: Who is the true imposter? Tedward or TheTopher?? I always confuse both of your videos 😅

[@TedwardDrives]

You'll have to dig deep into the Winding Road Magazine archives for answers

[@sdc303]

when the Tedward is sus 😳😳

[@khrhee5]

Such a beautiful shape of windows. I don't see cabriolets without quarter glass that often

[@leleblanc91]

Man the quality of those detailed shots is so epic now, I really appreciate the work you put into these !

[@mutated__donkey5840]

Ya know what would make that even better? A V12

[@TedwardDrives]

I do love the V12 (especially the startup sequence sounds), but the lighter V8 gives the Vantage a nimble feeling when you chuck it into a corner.

[@rokmulec498]

This Aston sounds simply gorgeous. Thanks for driving it the eargasmic way. :) I'm listening to every single video of yours with the headphones. Superb quality. You are awesome.

[@adamluke1289]

The sound of that car is phenomenal!

[@vomErsten]

The DB9-era cars are so much better-looking than the current DB11-era. Also, perfectly smooth shifts are anethema to character. I don't want my sporty cars to be smooth, I want some reasonable amount of jolt to communicate the event; that there is some finesse to getting that jolt to be less jolting only adds to the fun.

[@user-yo3kf9fl5d]

Agreed, I always try my best to coax a smooth shift from my Sportshift II

[@DemetriosLevi]

Freaking love your channel man...came from the Alfa Romeo 4C and instantly was hooked. Absolutely love the color pallette they did on this one. That teal-ish British-Racing-Green-like color with the tan is to die for. Super underrated channel, brother! Subbed

[@DoubleD603]

I know I said this already on your IG, but that color is absolutely beautiful and the interior is perfectly matched with it

[@stephenoverstreet9898]

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Tedward, you really do have the best job!

[@kennedy_clipsations4791]

Such an amazing car!! I love hearing the engine every time!!

[@juryo_]

holy cow I've never seen that color combination but it looks super beautiful.

[@JK-yo1ok]

Okay Tedward, I see you, bringing them bangers as always

[@aurelien.bvideos494]

Nice spec on this Vantage S and no doubt to have driving pleasure with this V8 sound

[@MiniOne82]

Gorgeous spec. Sounded amazing.

[@fhowland]

Beautiful color!

[@peterbest5938]

I optioned my 911 in Forest 🌳 Green with tan/biscuit leather interior - combo always looks classy

[@justsomeguy1141]

God that spec is so on point! So hard to find another like it

[@jonfarah8529]

That spec is so gorgeous.

[@josephvarano9341]

Awesome vid! 🔥🔥

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

What a charming car....Looks awesome in such metallic emerald green paint livery over tan... ❤️

[@alexk5990]

Love this content!

[@RossEnzo]

That is the ideal color combo!

[@callum3844]

Oooo that spec is so nice

[@BenzinioB]

I'm officially in love!

[@senuauwu]

Yei Another driving lesson Thanks!

[@rikardandersson7288]

Really nice car, lovely green colour, but I can't help but hearing the exact same seat belt reminder as my 07 Volvo v70 has, and seeing the Ford/Volvo window switches aswell. You certainly can sense some Ford in that interior

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

Beautiful, but I am biased. 👌 I love mine and the theatre with the roof down is fantastic especially through a tunnel or under a bridge!

[@arny9464]

Love the spec 🙌🏼 not feeling the black steering wheel though 🤔 And yes, the convertible experience is quite cool 😎

[@MrELOHELJayKay]

that color is beautiful

[@pduffy83usa]

Love that screamin' v8!

[@germainclerici8623]

you properly use the gear box (up & down) as it is not a double clutch. Old school represent!

[@Chazlovesburnouts]

hell of an engine note

[@RJW14]

Oof. I will never get used to counter clockwise gauges. But man that interior is absolutely gorgeous.

[@peter9930]

I need a roadster in my life!

[@jayaychare7318]

v8 Aston is a sweet sweet chorus

[@justasurfer8596]

such a stand out car

[@satyasrikar4677]

V8 MODUR! - Jeremy Clarkson Great video!

[@Official_MikeyT]

Yeah British Racing Green over tan is the best colour combination on just about everything.

[@richardwick2388]

You should go and check out E85 Z4. (2.5 or 3.0 in USA) I feel like you said you felt in an Aston every time I drive it. Sometimes I put the top down and cruise, sometimes I drive it as a sports car. Nice inline 6 sound, looks good and everyone thinks it's costs more than it actually does. :)

[@kake52]

3:27 omg that soundddd

[@yjwrangler7819]

I bet that leather feels like the palm of a catchers mit

[@EddieFly00]

0:36 What happened to the top of the instrument panel? Its all gross looking. Maybe its just the camera & the angle.

[@caprisun3965]

I love these cars but I can't even imagine owning one maybe someday

[@Gizmetti]

I swear I can't drive 5 miles in MA without seeing a state police cruiser. I'm curious how many times Tedward has been pulled over haha

[@chasingpham]

I can remember the same exhaust tones from Gran Turismo

[@corollavirus4age]

it just looks and sounds so classy! also what happened to the middle bit of the dash ? did it catch on fire?

[@TedwardDrives]

It’s wood!

[@corollavirus4age]

@@TedwardDrives *facepalms * Ah i thought it was leather lmao

[@fhowland]

Haha I had the same thought

[@Maximum_777]

I feel like this has very similar vibes to the LC 500

We have a red one of those

The Pen in the dash seems very Japan and very practical....

[@Abduallh88]

Can you try Impala 67 I love that car

[@NOrlando952]

I love astons.

[@kenbike]

Refreshing that it's not covered in carbon fiber. Wood, aluminum and leather, timeless.

[@eldridsonmaria3360]

That color is absolutely gorgeous green and tan 😍 what aston motor is best the v8 or the v12

[@computerhelpcc]

V8 sounds better than the v12 in a 2006 Vantage

[@JAMESBOND-xo4xg]

Aukat ke bahar hai but still watching ❤😂

[@mykehyslop198]

Can't beat an Aston V12.

[@RyanRoadReaper]

Can't show this to my mama, else she'll trade in her soul and both me and our brother's kidneys for one of those! Don't blame her though, that car, in that color combo, is absolutely gorgeous. 🤣

[@vladx2]

Maybe the kph digital speedo made it feel like you’re going faster

[@TheFelipeLima]

Petition for a bond intro on future Aston videos!

[@TedwardDrives]

I’ll find some fire crackers to burst while i drive passed in a suit

[@noelvandeven8295]

After all these videos I've only now realised Ted hardly ever looks over his shoulder on camera

[@TedwardDrives]

I look over my shoulder quite a bit on camera. It's less noticeable since the lens doesn't move with my eyes so you only see the angle of my head rather than my actual field of view

[@cosmicpossum1658]

You gotta drive a Genesis Coupe!

Is the leather in the central console black because burned by the sun?

throttle response is so slooooow on my 2007 vantage manual that rev-matching is next to impossible. it's like trying to have a phone conversation with a two second delay in it.

You’ve realllly gotta bury that pedal in the manuals on a rev match. It’s so unnatural

Wish they didn't put merc engines in them these days, even if they're better
