APPRENTICE star Jade English was one of the guests as Aston Martin Wilmslow held a special preview event for the new Aston Martin Vantage at Stock Farm, Ashley.

The Aston Martin Vantage was on display alongside the WEC Vantage Racing Motorcar #95, which was part of the Le Mans 24 Hr winning trio.

The preview event was an opportunity to be one of the first to see the Vantage up close and discuss the model with other Aston Martin enthusiasts.

Champagne and street food was served to guests, who included Jade English and footballer-turned car businessman Marlon Harewood.

Catering was supplied by Flaming Gourmand and the bar was supplied by the Drunken Pug - two local businesses who helped to make the event special.

Guests were able to get creative and design their own Aston Martin model on the interactive Vantage configurator, and there was a chance to take part in a virtual reality simulation to get a feel for the Vantage in action.

Attendees were also treated to a preview video of the Vantage and a talk from Aston Martin Wilmslow’s Head of Business, Nik Boxall.

Mr Boxall said: “We are delighted with the comments about the new Vantage and we hope everyone enjoyed the backdrop of Stock Farm.

“I would like to thank everyone who attended and made the evening a great occasion.

“We look forward to welcoming enquiries on new Aston Martin models and welcoming customers to our Wilmslow showroom.”
