After a three-year hiatus, Vantage magazine returns with a major new issue – headlined by a celebration of the heart and soul of Aston Martin: Newport Pagnell. The cover story charts the remarkable story of car production at the marque’s spiritual home and unites two of the greatest postwar Astons that bookend production there – a 1960 DB4 and a 2001 Vanquish.
Other highlights include a candid conversation with Ulrich Bez, the man behind the 2005 V8 Vantage and Aston’s modern renaissance, plus a deep dive into the brand’s current F1 campaign – and the Adrian Newey-designed car that could transform its fortunes. There’s also a full road test of the DBX S, a head-to-head between the new Vantage Roadster and Ferrari Roma Spider, and a celebration of 75 years of the Vantage nameplate.
Historic coverage comes via an evocative DB4 GT drive to Le Mans 2025, where Aston returned to the top flight of endurance racing with the Valkyrie, alongside features on Newport Pagnell’s postwar production and the restoration of a unique ex-Le Mans DB1.
