Other posts/thread state that they made only about 50 per yr, WW, with LH drive, during that entire 'generation', e.g. from 2006-17. I have one and I am beyond thrilled to have found it! And 99% of all the maintenance records too (by the Stealership)!
NOW I need to sell my '73 XKE Roadster 4sp V12!

Original/Rebuilt ---- lovely and ready to go!

I’ve had my ‘14 manual roadster since new, not sure how many of the 507 4.7 examples are left-hand drive. My guess is around 300.
Great car!

I kind of followed the 4.7L V8 Vantage Roadster used market off and on from 2020-22. They didn't come up for sale often - about 1 per month or about 12-15 per year.

Interesting - I also have been monitoring this and my best guess is about 8-10 per year. Either way, I am SUPER jazzed to have snagged this gorgeous, well-cared for example!

Heading my way - to Virginia!

NEW Info from Am US: QUOTE: I don’t have access to production data and that’s also something the factory doesn’t share, however I can tell you that 89 2010my Vantage Roadsters were wholesaled in North America- no details on color combinations though.

I guess that makes my 6sp one of about? How many?

For the MY 2016 Vantage V8 GTS there were only 100x made for the USA so note the sample size is small but you can assume the numbers for the total production as very rough estimate:

There were:

61 Coupes, 39 of which were manual
39 Roadsters, 15 of which were manual

The above data was supplied to be by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust

Hello Tom,



Out of those 89, only 20 were manual.



Your vehicle Fire Red, is a “Q” special color, I’d imagine it’s rare and most likely the only the 2010 Fire Red Roadster in North America.
Sooo, I am beyond excited to learn this. To me , exclusivity is kinda cool (to me at least).

That's a beautiful car. First thing I would do is replace front splitter and rear diffuser with EPCS carbon fiber ones, and get rid of those awful wheels.

+1 on those wheels, they remind me of a cheap copy of Ronal R9.
