Factory build sheet

2014 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Base

Build SCFEKBAK-E · 4.7L 8cyl · Rear-wheel drive · Hatchback

VIN positions 1 through 8 read SCFEKBAK and position 10 reads E. Those nine characters define this build. Position 9 and positions 11 through 17 differ on every car.

Every V8 Vantage whose VIN starts SCFEKBAK and carries E in position 10 left the plant with the same engine, transmission, drivetrain and equipment listed below. We know of 23 of them.

The same build, other model years

Aston Martin used the VIN pattern SCFEKBAK for 2 model years. Nothing but the year changes between these pages, so the price gap between them is depreciation on an identical car.

How this VIN pattern is read

A 17-character VIN carries two kinds of information: what was built, and which one it is. This page is the first kind — the nine highlighted positions.

Positions Characters What they encode
1–3 SCF ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA LIMITED · World manufacturer identifier
4–8 EKBAK Model, body style, engine and restraint system
9 × Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build
10 E Model year — 2014
11 × Assembly plant
12–17 ×××××× Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle

23 vehicles carry this build

Every VIN we have decoded to SCFEKBAK-E shares the specification above.

Where this data comes from

Specification fields are decoded from the manufacturer's filings in the NHTSA vPIC database, keyed on VIN positions 1–8 and 10. We publish the filed values as they stand and leave out anything the filing does not record.

Vehicle counts come from the 23 VINs of this build we have seen in dealer inventory. They are a sample of the road population, not a production figure.
