When launched, Jeremy Clarkson famously tested the V12 Vantage is almost silence. The car must have made an incredibly deep impression. Clarkson predicted – correctly perhaps – that it was the final ‘real’ supercar. With its massive normally aspirated V12 engine mated to  conventional manual gearbox, it appeals to enthusiasts. If you are considering something comfortable, cheap to run and easy to drive – walk away. With a production run of only 1200 examples, owners are reluctant to trade the V12 Vantage for a newer model. It you can find one, buy it and keep it forever. It’s the last of the line.
