Buying a 1973 Aston Martin Vantage

Generally speaking, Vantage is a term used by Aston Martin to characterize the high-performance version of some of their models. In 1972 however, Aston launched the Vantage model, which was produced only for two short years. The design of the 1973 Aston Martin Vantage used a DB6-looking grille and a 2-headlight front clip. The Vantage was powered by the Tadek Marek DOHC straight six-cylinder engine, and was quite powerful for its era. A number of improvements were made and implemented during the five years of production of the DBS. The Vantage benefited from those cosmetic and mechanical upgrades, such as the new ’dog leg’ ZF five speed gearbox that was used for the DBS V8. Of course, these are just a few of the many wonderful benefits to owning a 1973 Aston Martin Vantage classic.

1973 Aston Martin Vantage Buyer’s Guide

The last Aston to come with wire wheels, and with the 6-cylinder engine (until the DB7 in 1993), the Aston Martin Vantage is a very desirable model. Only 71 examples were made in 1972 and 1973, making it exceedingly rare in today’s classic car market. During the debut of the DB6, the public was asking for a V8 engine from Aston Martin. This engine took a while to produce and was a great success when it was finally mounted on the DBS. Nevertheless, the demand for the 6-cylinder engine was still important and the Vantage is a very desirable classic today. If you’re thinking about buying a Vantage edition, pay close attention to whether or not the original engine remains in the car. This can add value to certain models.
