2003 Aston Martin Vanquish

When Pierce Brosnan, aka James Bond, stepped out of his Ian Callum designed Vanquish in the 2002 film, 'Die Another Day', the legend was born and immediately every car enthusiast throughout the world wanted the successor to the Virage. The 6.0 litre V12 produced 450bhp, the car had an early 'flappy paddle' electrohydraulic manual gearbox, fly by wire throttle and, of course, looks to die for! The Aston Martin legend as the ultimate British sports car was set to continue.

This car was first registered in March 2003 as a '2 plus 2' model and specified in Aston Green with a Forest Green top roll, Parchment leather seats and Parchment Alcantara headlining making the cabin a very light and pleasant place to be.

The original specification included sat-nav, Linn hi-fi, black calipers, rear parking sensors, heated front seats, heated front windscreen and power fold mirrors and, importantly, was upgraded with a 'Sports Dynamic Pack' in 2004 at a cost of nearly £15,000. This included Vanquish 'S' uprated brakes, wheels and suspension.

The comprehensive service history lists only main dealers and is an excellent insight into the care and attention that this car has enjoyed throughout its coveted life. As follows:
