Vantage Special Type II – 4 door saloon

(1996)

Following on from the Type I which was a stretched Vantage, the same customer was offered and ordered another group of stretched Vantage 4 door saloons. But instead of a following the styling of the production 2 door, the Type II had distinctive and unique styling of it's own.

The outcome was a more rounded high wasted saloon, with a tapering boot yet still with the familiar six headlight front. Three Vantage Special Type II saloons were completed, all to V600 specification, right hand drive and with automatic transmission. A plan for a Shooting Brake based on the Vantage Type II sadly never proceeded beyond the design stage.
