2001 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the V12-engined Vanquish Coupé debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001. Aston Martin's first power unit of its type, the 5.9-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine (first seen in the DB7 V12 Vantage) developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, with 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs. The 6-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.

Built to Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) specification, this left-hand drive Vanquish was purchased by our vendor in Lebanon and imported into the UK in 2020. Finished in gleaming black with Forest Green leather, the car has been fully serviced by Aston Martin and remains in excellent original condition. It has been looked after in professional storage for the last few years. Service records for the period August 2004 to November 2017, plus last service receipt from 2022 are available and the car also comes with a UK V5C registration document.
