The Vantage GT is not a specific model as such but is an exceptionally rare car. The AMHT Register details only six series 5 Vantages with the more powerful engine. The AMOC register also notes that three series 3 DB4 saloons, five DB4 series 4 saloons and a single DB4 Vantage convertible also received a GT engine.

The example featured above is DB4/1121/R, a 1963 DB4 series 5 Vantage GT. Finished in Goodwood Green, this car was totally restored at AML Works Service during 2000 and was presented for sale at the Bonhams/Brooks AML auction in May 2001.
