• Original warranty document signed by Greg Norman

• 26,881 miles recorded
• Swiss registration document
Developed from the Project Vanquish concept car of 1998, the Aston Martin Vanquish was designed by Ian Callum and first unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show. It was a sensation at the time and still looks so modern that we'd be praising its modernity and beauty if it were released today.
And make no mistake, it is very modern. With a bonded carbon fibre, composite and aluminium chassis all clothed in hand-formed aluminium body panels, the resulting car is as stiff as it is strong and ended up being much lighter than if it had been crafted using more traditional methods.
Fitted with a V12 engine, its 460 horses and 400ft/lbs of torque go to the rear wheels via a drive-by-wire throttle and a six-speed electro-hydraulic, semi-automatic gearbox. This enables the Vanquish to storm to 62mph from rest in five seconds on its way to a top speed of 190mph.
And it is all done in such nonchalance that it was featured in the James Bond film Die Another Day where it was so warmly received, it was subsequently voted the third best film car of all time behind the Minis in The Italian Job, and the Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinger and Thunderball.
This V12 Vanquish was delivered new to USA at the end of the year 2002 and first owned by the great Greg Norman, the Australian professional golfer who spent 331 weeks as the world's Number 1 player in the 1980s/1990s. He was nicknamed 'The Great White Shark' or sometimes simply 'The Shark'. Following Greg Norman's ownership the car was sold by Robert Hunter Morin to Claude Nobs, founder and director of the Montreux Jazz Festival, and his partner (who still owns the car), who imported it from Miami Beach, Florida in 2011. Currently displaying a total of 26,881 miles on the odometer, the Vanquish comes with a Swiss registration document, customs document, stamped book, warranty acceptance document (signed by Greg Norman), continuous services invoices from 9,000 to 21,500 miles.

Livrée neuve à Greg Norman, ancien n°1 mondial de golf; Ex Claude Nobs, fondateur du Montreux Jazz Festival
2002 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
Châssis n° SCFAC23362B500427
• Document de garantie original signé par Greg Norman
• Vendue à son second propriétaire Claude Nobs en 2011
• Factures d'entretien de 9 000 à 21 500 miles
• 26 881 miles au compteur

Développée à partir du concept car Project Vanquish de 1998, l'Aston Martin Vanquish a été dessinée par Ian Callum et dévoilée au salon de Genève en 2001. Elle fit sensation à l'époque et reste toujours si moderne que nous vanterions encore sa modernité si elle était présentée aujourd'hui.
Avec son châssis composite en fibre de carbone et aluminium collé, et ses panneaux de carrosserie en aluminium formés à la main, le résultat est aussi rigide que solide et se montre beaucoup plus léger qu'avec des méthodes plus traditionnelles. Dotée d'un moteur V12, ses 460 ch et ses 400 ft/lbs de couple sont transmis aux roues arrière via un accélérateur drive-by-wire et une boîte à six rapports électro-hydraulique semi-automatique. Ils permettent à la Vanquish d'atteindre les 100 km/h en cinq secondes, jusqu'à sa vitesse maximale de 305 km/h.
Et tout cela se fait avec une telle nonchalance qu'elle fut choisie pour le film de James Bond Meurs un autre jour où elle fut si chaleureusement accueillie qu'elle fut élue troisième meilleure voiture de cinéma de tous les temps derrière les Mini de Braquage à l'italienne et l'Aston Martin DB5 de Goldfinger.
La V12 Vanquish présentée ici a été livrée neuve aux États-Unis à la fin de l'année 2002 et eut comme premier propriétaire le grand Greg Norman, le joueur de golf professionnel Australien qui resta 331 semaines meilleur joueur du monde dans les années 1980 et 1990. Il était surnommé le « grand requin blanc » ou plus simplement le « requin ». Après Greg Norman, la voiture fut vendue par Robert Hunter Morin à Claude Nobs, fondateur et directeur du Festival de Jazz de Montreux, et son partenaire (toujours propriétaire de la voiture) qui l'importèrent de Miami Beach, en Floride, en 2011. Affichant un total de 26 881 miles (43 260 km) au compteur, la Vanquish est vendue avec sa carte grise suisse, ses documents de douane, son carnet d'entretien estampillé, son formulaire de garantie (signé par Greg Norman) et ses factures d'entretien continues de 9 000 à 21 500 miles.
