A limited edition Aston Martin V12 Vantage S has been launched to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the legendary Spitfire fighter plane’s first flight.
Jardine Motors Group, Aston Martin’s Cambridge retailer, has commissioned a special collection of eight V12 Vantage S ‘Spitfire 80’ models.
Owners of the £180,000 car will experience a special handover day in the AirSpace exhibition at Imperial War Museum (IVM) Duxford, the home of the first Spitfire squadron.
The Q by Aston Martin personalisation service created the car which has been painted in a special Duxford Green colour, with the trademark Spitfire yellow pinstripe on the side strakes and deck lid.
Some of the car’s components are made by the Aircraft Restoration Company at IWM Duxford. These include tailpipe finishers with a rainbow “bloom” effect to match the Spitfire exhaust stack and an aluminium rear cabin finisher that matches the Spitfire strut brace.
Inside, the car boasts a ‘Spitfire 80’ logo embroidered in Raven Black onto the headrests, saddle leather floor mats with sheepskin inserts (a nod to the iconic Irvin flying jacket), while the door inserts are finished with door pulls in red ‘webbing’ to match the Spitfire aircraft.
The V12 Vantage S ‘Spitfire 80’ comes with a range of accessories including a unique Irvin Jacket with Spitfire 80 logo stitched inside, an Irvin flying helmet and flying goggles, themed car cover, an embossed owners’ manual and a leather photo album featuring high quality images taken on the handover day for each customer.
The eight cars will be collected by their owners at IWM Duxford on October 18, 2016. Aston Martin Cambridge will make a donation for every car sold to the RAF’s leading welfare charity, the RAF Benevolent Fund.
