BACKGROUND:
An immaculate Vanquish S in Dark Grey with Black & Brown Leather, just 8,000 odd KM from new and a full Aston Martin dealer history.
Aston Martin unveiled the Ian Callum designed ‘Project Vantage’ at the North American International Auto Show, Detroit, in 1998. Such was the interest in the car that Aston Martin decided to put it into production as the V12 ‘Vanquish’. Introduced at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, with only minor changes to Callum’s original design it had a 5.9 litre V12 engine developing 450hp and was revolutionary in its aluminium and carbon composite structure, drive by wire throttle and electro hydraulic manual transmission. It appeared in the 2002 Bond movie ‘Die Another Day’ and was named in the top three best film cars ever, alongside the ‘Italian Job’ minis and the DB5 from ‘Goldfinger’!
The Vanquish was produced up to 2004 and only 1400 cars were made before the announcement of the Vanquish ‘S’ at the Paris Auto Show that year. The new car had an increase in power to 520hp, up rated steering, suspension and brakes, new wheels, a front splitter and rear spoiler incorporated in the boot lid. The Vanquish S was built until 2007 when the production facility at Newport Pagnell was shut down and only 1086 examples were made.
This car was one of the very last Vanquish S produced and was sold new in Hong Kong by Hong Kong’s Aston Martin Dealer. This Vanquish S, one of the very last hand built cars to be made in Newport Pagnell, is in superb condition having covered a total of just 8,000 odd KMs from new and comes with a fully documented Aston Martin service history. It has been fanatically maintained beautiful Inside and Outside.
