Jamiroquai has been selling more cars than singles in recent years - and this Aston's a belter.
The fact that Jay Kay still maintains an extensive collection of cars despite not having a hit since, well, this side of the millennium just goes to show how massive Jamiroquai was in the 1990s. Heck, it wasn’t that long ago when he was spotted driving what’s believed to be a one-of-one Signal Green LaFerrari, not to mention the blackThat’s the thing with Jay Kay.
Telling the X-Pack apart from the regular Vantages is easy, too, looking as though it could deck you just for staring at it. Flared wheel arches give it a particularly muscular look, along with a, er, sizeable power bulge on the bonnet and a far deeper front bumper that acted as an air dam. Probably the most recognisable X-Pack feature is the blanked-out grille but some cars were specced with a more conventional mesh finish.
Blanking plate or not, the X-Pack is an exceptionally rare variant of a car built in the hundreds. Production numbers vary here and there, but the listing claims that only 95 examples were produced, with this particular car being just one of two finished in Litchfield Black Metallic. The X-Packs were offered with an automatic gearbox, what with it being a massive grand tourer at heart, but this model comes with a manual.
We know Jay Kay keeps his cars in immaculate condition yet likes to take them out for a spin, and this Vantage is no exception. It’s covered 37,500 miles and has the perfect mix of clean paintwork with nicely aged leather. Bet you the cabin smells incredible. Its 1989 registration means it’s one of the last few cars of the ’77-spec V8 Vantages before the Ford era.
The asking price is £399,995, which doesn’t make it the cheapest V8 Vantage on sale, but we’d argue it’s worth it for a last of the line model in pristine condition. And having Jay Kay listed as a previous owner never hurt a car's residuals, either...

Used Mercedes- Benz CLK DTM Cabriolet - 1 of 6 RHD Examples built - 28,500 Miles [DK1674] for saleIn 2004, to celebrate its involvement in the DTM Championship and specifically the CLK driven by Bernd Schneider to win the 2003 Championship, Mercedes-Benz sanctioned an exclusive production of just 100 units of The CLK DTM Coupe, only 40 of which were made in right-hand drive. Mercedes-Benz's official performance division, AMG, developed the DTM based on the platform of the second generation C209 CLK, considered to be one of the most successful sports cars to participate in the DTM Championship. Not limited by the regulations of its racing counterpart, the road version came with a supercharged 5.4-litre engine producing a staggering 582 horsepower, and 504ftlb of torque; accelerating the car to supercar-rivalling 0 - 60 in just 3.9 seconds. A five-speed semi-automatic 'AMG Speedshift' transmission is controlled by the DTM inspired paddle shift ahead of the steering wheel. The suspension was managed with height adjustable units with the rear suspension being fully re-designed and owing little to that of a standard road-going CLK. Larger brakes with ceramic discs were used to decelerate the car from its blistering speeds. A bespoke Electronic Stability Programme was installed as well as a mechanical limited-slip differential to allow all 582 horsepower to be taken advantage of. The cabriolet was built later and whilst 100 were planned like the coupe, just 80 were built. Additionally, RHD numbers were far lower, with just 6 examples leaving the factory. The weight saving measures were not tamed for the cabriolet. The bodywork is a festival of carbon fibre and carbon reinforced plastic composites. Up front are two distinctive fixed-back carbon fibre bucket seats, in the rear, the bench seat has gone in favour of two sculpted moulded seats in carbon fibre. Whilst said to share the quoted 582hp engine, the power output was much closer to that of the SLR at 620hp! This made the DTM AMG Cabriolet one of the fastest four-seat convertibles ever built..
