Aston Martin Vantage Roadster Honoring The A3
by AutoExpert | 24 June, 2021
Aston Martin Vantage Roadster is a very special car honoring the 1 century anniversary of the oldest surviving Aston Martin – A3.
Chassis no.3 was built 100 years ago, in Abingdon Road, London. It is one of the first 5 prototypes that came right before production began. A3 runs on a four-cylinder 1.5-liter engine, which, with the help of its 11 hp, managed to set a speed record of 84.5 mph (136 km/h) at Essex Motor Club Kop Hill Climb.
The Aston Martin A3 is owned by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, which has managed to restore it to its original self.
The A3 homage is a revised version of Vantage Roadster and comes in a limited edition of 3 units only. The design includes a bright aluminum surround around the unique grille, the heritage badge, and black square mesh.
There are unique side fender panels with a saddle leather strap, reminding of A3’s bonnet strap and aluminum bonnet. The bronze calipers come paired with 20-inch lightweight forged wheels, which are gracefully finished in gloss black.
The interior comes with some upgrades, too, like the Aston Martin embroidered heritage on the rear cubby lid, and micro-perforated glutted seats.
This is a stylish and tasteful homage to one of the most historical cars ever.
