Footnotes

An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, and one of the most important models in the company's recent history, the V12-engined Vanquish coupé debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001. Aston Martin's first power unit of its type, the 6.0-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, with 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs. The six-speed gearbox was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes: fully manual or computer-controlled automatic, with a 'sport' setting available on both. The inventory of standard equipment included almost everything the discerning connoisseur could wish for, while the performance - 190mph and 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds – placed the Vanquish firmly in the supercar class.

Dominated by an imposing aluminium centre console, the interior featured Connolly leather upholstery and Wilton carpeting, emphasising the Aston Martin heritage, for despite its advanced specification, the Vanquish was built like all other Astons before it: one at a time and by hand. Production ceased in 2007, by which time the model had been upgraded as the Vanquish S and the UK list price had risen to over £183,000. The Vanquish lasted in production for six years, with 2,578 being made.

A 2+2 model, this particular Vanquish was ordered at Aston Martin's flagship showroom on London's Park Lane by a gentleman from Surrey, who specified that it should by fully equipped with all the latest extras. The buyer parted with £165,000. The Vanquish has extensive service history with its first owner and in 2013 (at 15,683 miles) was fitted with the up-rated clutch of the later Vanquish S. It would appear that the Aston had very little use thereafter, as it passed to the present owner in March 2014 with 15,753 miles showing on the odometer. During the present ownership the car has been maintained regardless of cost and always serviced by accredited Aston Martin specialists, the service history being continued. The current mileage is only 19,700. A set of new tyres was fitted in April 2020 at circa 19,000 miles.

It is believed that the car was always garaged by the first owner, and as part of the current owner's collection has been kept in excellent storage conditions when not in use. MoT'd to August 2023 (no advisories) and ready to use, this potent modern Aston Martin is said to drive extremely well.
