Is the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S a good investment?

The thesis

Only 116 manual V12 Vantage S built globally in 2017—the last naturally aspirated, manual V12 sports car from a major manufacturer. 565hp 6.0L V12, dog-leg 7-speed manual, and genuine rarity. Median UK price £95k places it at the lower end of this budget, offering exceptional value versus limited-run Ferraris or Porsches. Market has been stable but recent sales to £255k show strong upside for low-mileage examples. This is a genuine last-of-breed play with clear scarcity.
