The FASTEST Car in The World! Restoration Detailing Aston Martin V8 Vantage

[@thomasmulhall4873]

I've restored two of these earlier models, and watching you carefully polish the wonderful William Towne lines brought back great memories. I've prepped and polished until I know that shape in my sleep. Wasn't it fun to dive into the boot and remove the spare wheel? You chaps did a superb job and look to be very careful and have, forgive the pun, great attention to deatail. The only criticism that I see is that the tyres are too glossy. Remember, this is a 70s-80s period car, and Aston Martins are owned by gentlemen. Never had glossy tyres even when new. That back bumper gets plenty of exhaust soot, usually mixed with a bit of oil, as the valve seals are set a bit on the loose side to lube the valve train, so they're difficult to polish. Same with those sill covers. Well done!

[@IAMDetailing]

Thank you for sharing Thomas!! Glad you enjoyed the video and it brought back good memories :) I love to hear about others who have stories of their own with the cars we work on. yes, that spare wheel was a total pain 🤣🤦‍♂️ the gloss always looks *really* slick right after application, and tones down a bit after a few hours. Thank you for the feedback. Would love to hear more of the stories you have as you see other projects we’re working on. Thanks so much for contributing to our community

Best car ever made, I fell in love with this car at the 1978 Motor Show in Birmingham N.E.C , I was 10 years old, my dad took me, I wanted him to buy one hahaha, house prices in the UK then were around 15k for a new 3 bedroom house the Aston Martin V8 Vantage was over 40k

[@zahedhussain1744]

Kudos to the videographer . He knows what he is doing.

[@danbaumann8273]

Personally I think those may just be _the_ most beautiful cars ever designed. Seen only a handful in my life and was always in awe. I think they simply blow away the newer ones. Can't imagine how much a detailing like that would be worth. Haha. Would be interesting to see how the undercarriage is done too. Amazing attention to detail. Wow. 👍👌

[@tonymcnamara9368]

Giving a classic the attention it rightly deserves.

[@ccwnyc5671]

What a deserving rescue. I'm speechless.

[@IAMDetailing]

Love that! Thanks for watching!

Stunning results as usual guys. Best detail work on KZbin.

Thanks Tony!! 🫡 we appreciate that high praise!

A proper Aston.

[@lakefield2112]

Great job - such a beautiful, timeless car.

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

It is indeed timeless as with many Aston Martin cars. I would love this car or one like it.

Polishing marker light plastic covers is one of those 'last mile' jobs that makes a massive difference. 😀

That is some of the most STUNNING black paint that I have ever seen in my life. I know the camera hides stuff, but HOLY SH!T that is INCREDIBLE guys. >>> MIND BLOWN 🤯

[@paulnewman2778]

I was fortunate enough to see the in process restoration. Of the James Bond version of this car. Very cool.

[@kennycox3186]

It’s only a couple of cars that I lusted over after you all finished them, this gets added to the list. Looks amazing!!

[@stephenmartin5762]

Absolutely gorgeous, alway been my most favourite car and the difference was ASTONishing

[@marcusott2973]

My boss in the early 90's had one, he used it as a daily driver around Paris for years it was dinged up and scratched all round. Couple of years ago I saw it in a magazine, after a RS Williams restoration including 7.0L conversion. Went for silly money, I bet the new owner wont be laying down number 11's racing motorbikes off the lights in the early morning. 😂😂😂 You brought some great memories back THX.

[@IAMDetailing]

That sounds like a fun boss! Lol! Happy to help bring back some good memories! 🫡 have a great one

[@marcusott2973]

@I AM Detailing he was a lot of fun, a good boss, a very astute professional, and a true gentleman, best person I ever worked for. After working for him, I had to start my own business, couldn't take working for idiots.😎 You have good one too.

[@mescko]

And this early Vantage is the most gorgeous of all, with the taller, blanked-off bonnet bulge and tall 'flip-tail' rear spoiler. The pre-'Oscar India' body is my strong preference, looks more muscular.

[@marabr4796]

Another fantastic job and what a work of art!

Sprague and Curtis’s masterstroke! Although having to acquiesce to the Colonials by putting the steering wheel on the wrong side always grated.

[@shadowfilm7980]

Love Aston Martin cars. Always have. Beautiful in their design. Love how you don’t really see too many out there on the road. They are so exclusive. They don’t make that many. Would rather have an Aston any day than a typical Ferrari. Too many Ferrari’s out there.

Absolutely brilliant job, bet it's better than when it left the factory... Your attention to detail is awesome! And how much better does the car look with Euro-spec bumpers rather than the US big bumpers - like night and day.

[@colingarner6175]

The Aston is a proper muscle car , how could anyone think it was a Ford ?

[@bigbadboodah]

Beautiful job. I see it's for sale at O'Gara. No price.

[@IAMDetailing]

Worth every penny :)

[@mrl6105]

They are rarely for sale but if, they go for around 300 to 400k. There is actually also an even faster version of them called the Vantage X Pack. Super rare, only around 20 of them build as left hand drive and a couple more right hand drive. Most of them are sleeping in garages in the UAE and almost never see the light of day as an Aston Martin mechanic told me.

Hi, please tell me why after sanding with wet sandpaper 2000-3000 I always have traces of polishing scratches. Is my sponge pad bad or is the polish too weak? Thank you in advance for your answer.

[@tskraj3190]

I think Ford should have sued William Towns over this one. 😂

[@tjhaywood100]

That is a beautiful automobile!! The only thing I never could get used to in some of these older European cars is the dogleg 1st gear. 1st gear should always be to the left and up.

[@mescko]

A holdover from the racing days, since 1st was so rarely used on the track, having it 'out of the way' as it were, gave that much more advantage when going through the other gears.

[@take2wheels556]

People have no idea how time consuming full paint corrections are.I did that for several years.When a new Rolls,Bentley or Lamborghini and other exotics would come in we would show the imperfections under our lights.People are always shocked by how man imperfections are on the factory paint.Besides most dealers don't know how to properly wash a car.I don't do this anymore but I would definitely trust you to detail one of my cars

[@rdeh1678]

The easiest paint to work on is a Bently and Rolls, Bugatti I find is much harder to work with but the worst I have personally done was a gull wing mercedes took 3 nights to do at the museum

6.3 liter V8 conversion.... cool vehicle deserves cool makeup
