GarageScout Take
The 2025 Autosport Designs work is unusually well documented, with the engine stamping matching the Heritage Trust certificate and invoices totaling over $144,000. The main originality considerations are the Vantage-specification bolted flip-tail bodywork, paintwork completed during the conversion, and the 5.
Strengths
- Heritage Trust documentation covers the build date, factory specification, original Weber carburettors, and delivery history.
- The 2025 Autosport Designs refurbishment includes a rebuilt engine, Richmond six-speed installation, and more than $144,000 in viewable invoices.
- The suspension was overhauled in 2025 with uprated springs, a replacement front sway bar, new control arms and bushings, and a rear telescopic shock conversion.
Watch For
- The car received a Vantage-specification bodywork conversion with a bolted fliptail during the 2025 refurbishment.
- Paintwork was performed during the 2025 bodywork conversion.
- The drivetrain is modified from factory specification, with the 5.3-liter V8 rebuilt to 5.7-liter specification and a Richmond six-speed manual installed.
