Our Cars 2014 Aston Martin Vantage Centenary Edition

I had the new Aston delivered yesterday afternoon and it is absolutely stunning. I am told it is the only manual transmission Centenary Edition Vantage being built, which is pretty cool. The car is loaded with options, including seats trimmed in what Aston Martin call their 'deep soft' leather option, previously only available in the flagship One-77 model. The badging is solid sterling silver, as are the sill plaques proclaiming the car to be number 13 (lucky for some) of a worldwide production run of 100 Centenary Edition Vantages.

The 1,000 watt Bang and Olufsen sound system is spectacular, especially for such a small cabin, and the car has lashings of carbon fiber inside and out. The redesigned seats provide increased leg and headroom compared to previous Astons I have owned, which is a very welcome improvement. I am looking forward to my time with this fantastic car.
