ABOUT A CAR
“The Vantage builds on the most successful Aston Martin in the history of the British automaker, the DB7. The DB7 Vantage is very close in design to the Vantage concept, which debuted at the 1998 North American International Auto Show. The Vantage name has been used by Aston Martin since 1950 to identify the highest performance model in a particular model line. The first Aston Martin to ever be powered by a 12-cylinder engine, the Vantage has a claimed 0-60 time of under 5 seconds (5.1 with an automatic transmission), with a top speed of 184 mph / 296 km/h (165 mph, limited, with an automatic transmission). Hand built in Newport Pagnell, England, the DB7 Vantage went on sale in the fall of 2000 in 31 countries throughout the world.!”

I truly believe that AUTOart is really delivers what they are promising.  AUTOart 1/43 scale models are of highest standard on the market.  Probably just a handful of hand made models provides better quality, but the price for those models is few times higher compare to AUTOart.
