Brief History
According to the build record the vehicle was built as a V550 Vantage Le Mans on 12th July
1999 and delivered following its V600 upgrade conversion on 20th June 2000. The vehicle
was built to Swiss KPH specification. It is known that 40 ‘Le Mans’ specification V550
Vantages were produced, of these it is believed 33 cars were then converted to V600
specification by Works Service situated opposite the factory in Newport Pagnell. The chassis
number 70241 on the chassis plate is the same as that listed on the build sheet. Chassis
70241was originally finished in Aston Martin Racing Green and it displays this same colour
today. The interior trim is listed as Tan A4482 leather with a Forest Green contrast piping.
The seat centres and headlining were specified in Tan Alcantara 2351. The carpet colour is
listed as Green 919 with Forest Green piping.
The vehicle would have originally built with a manual gearbox.
It appears that the previous owner commissioned works to the vehicle around 2012 by
Works Service which included an automatic gearbox conversion, modification of the
dashboard top to accommodate a single DIN opening and a 3rd rear brake light housed
behind the rear window. The vehicle still retains these modifications today.
The car was delivered new to Switzerland, and then was sold to the Emirate of Kuwait,
where, according to the initials on the plates on the door sills of the car (NMS), its alleged
owner was the former Prime Minister of Kuwait Sheikh Nasser M. Al-Sabah.
In 2024, the car was taken to Aston Martin Works for commissioning and maintenance work.
A complete list of works is available upon request.
2024 Vehicle recommissioning report conclusions from Aston Martin Works
“The vehicle as presented is an example of a rare Vantage Le Mans (1 of 40 produced)
which was converted previously to V600 specification by Works Service in Newport Pagnell
prior to delivery. The vehicle has then subsequently been converted to automatic by Works
Service in circa 2012.
The vehicle presents very well in its Aston Martin Racing Green shade and cosmetically is in
outstanding condition – our recommendation to address small cosmetic areas will enhance
this further. With the return of the vehicle to its correct Dymag wheels and recommissioning
for road use again this will make a magnificent ‘Grand Touring’ Aston Martin in automatic
configuration. Given the model rarity and being viewed as the last truly ‘coach-built’ Aston
Martins prior to the launch of the Vanquish the Vantage Le Mans are rightly coveted by
collectors, I believe this model has long term potential for appreciating in value with time.”
