Jay Kay’s 1990 Aston Martin V8 Vantage X Pack manual is quite a rare car with only 95 built to this specification by the factory. Rare and very desirable the car has only covered 37,412 miles from new. One of the last of the line of this specification and in superb condition.

Roger Taylor’s old V8 Volante was purchased at the height of Queen’s success in 1979. Supplied new to the drummer in Buckingham Green with Magnolia leather, now re-trimmed.

After the Taylor’s ownership the car passed into the hands of Aston afficionado Howard Masters.

The car has an extensive history file and came 3rd in the 2000 AMOC Concours, pretty good considering the car has been used and now shows 103,000 miles.

Presented in outstanding condition the car is expected to fetch between £140,000 to £160,000.

We have a dedicated viewing day on Friday 30th July in The Wing building at Silverstone Circuit between the hours of 9am through to 6pm and we recommend interested bidders utilise this day to inspect cars of interest and their associated history files.”
