2005 Aston Martin Vanquish S

Unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, the Ian Callum designed, Vanquish was an instant sales success and the fact that it was James Bond's transport of choice only added to the appeal. Featuring a 6.0 litre V12 generating nearly 450bhp mated to a 6-speed paddle shift gearbox, the car was the top of the range for Aston throughout its 7 years of production. When Pierce Brosnan stepped out of his Vanquish in the 2002 film 'Die Another Day', the legend was created and immediately the successor to the Virage was desired by every car enthusiast throughout the world.

Building on the sales success of the original Vanquish, the Vanquish S was launched in 2004 and featured an increase in engine power (up from 460bhp to 520bhp) and revised gear and back axle ratios. Top speed was quoted as being in excess of 200mph, making it one of the fastest Aston Martin road cars ever built at Newport Pagnell. The exterior panels were still lovingly hand finished in the factory panel shop from "Superformed' aluminium. Discreet changes to the "S' included a bigger, revised grille, front splitter and a raised rear "spoiler' built into the boot lid to keep the car stable at high speed.

This Aston Martin Vanquish S was first registered on 13rd May 2005 and has had a total of 2 registered keepers from new. In this time the car has covered an incredible 3,892 miles from new. Supplied new via Aston Martin dealer Reg Vardy, it is finished in silver with a sumptuous two-tone blue leather interior, the condition of this car must be seen to be believed.

The paintwork retains an excellent shine and the panel fit is simply superb. The engine bay is a joy to behold and shows factory finish stickers and finishes to the components. The interior is in stunning condition and is a lovely place to be. The leather and all switchgear is in superb order and the entire aesthetic condition of this Aston Martin is consistent with a very low mileage example.

The service history shows stamps in the original service booklet from Reg Vardy, Stratstone, JCT600 and Desmond Smail. This car must be one of the lowest mileage Vanquish S' on the market today and is the finest example we have ever seen.
