SUMMARY

A superb example of the Vanquish S presented in Onyx Black with just two keepers and a comprehensive service history offered at a very conservative estimate.

DESCRIPTION

An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the V12 Vanquish debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001 with deliveries commencing a few months later. The Vanquish became, as intended, the marque’s flagship model and the Newport Pagnell factory saw an extensive multi-million pound refurbishment to accommodate it, gaining a new assembly line, paint shop, rolling road and water test facility. The car’s launch was hailed by the automotive press and whilst domestic dealerships took the predicted fountain-penned signatures of the traditional Aston buyer, the international glitterati needed a bit more persuading. Enter stage right via the famous gun barrel and iconic theme tune, the best ambassador since 1964 of the marque, Mr James Bond, and his worldwide audience.

The 2002 film, Die Another Day with Pierce Brosnan as the ultimate secret agent showcased the new Vanquish in the best advertisement imaginable for any new supercar. Amidst the explosions and machine gun fire, the Vanquish not only looked fantastic but was obviously capable of epic performance. Fame and gadgets aside, the Vanquish was recognised as one of the ten most beautiful cars ever built by Autocar Magazine in April 2022.

Launched in 2004, the Vanquish S saw its most significant upgrades within the engine bay, with the car producing 520bhp, an output good enough to whistle the S up to 200mph, a figure only recently exceeded by the Aston One-77. The previously optional Sports Dynamic Pack of enhanced steering, suspension and brakes came as standard with the S. It was the last of the line of hand-built Aston Martins, the last model to be produced at the Newport Pagnell factory and with only 375 built in right-hand drive, is now a very rare car.

In gleaming Onyx Black, this 2005 Vanquish S has covered less than 40,000 miles with our vendor and its two former keepers. Stylishly presented in 'triple black', it's accompanied by a reassuringly comprehensive service history. Brought to sale freshly serviced by specialists and with a new MOT, it's offered at a very realistic guide and should draw plenty of attention from marque enthusiasts and fans of its place within the annals of James Bond Aston Martin history.
