Low Mileage V8 Vantage

Recently found an 06 Vantage V8 manual with 5k miles. Car is pristine but doesn’t have much service history. Has been stored indoors, the rubber is all good paint is perfect. I expect to change all fluids and the old tires but was curious if there are any common issues related to low mileage cars. And would YOU buy one?

Nice! Expect to do some fettling but that’s half the fun.

They are generally pretty good to work on…just done brakes all round and flush…about to do coolant flush…then asm pipes…I hope you have a solid car..they are worth it…

You may need a 2nd round of service after 6 months once when things have worked their way to the surface. Like air filters which get dirty quick.
