2005 Aston Martin Vanquish S - 28,654 Miles - LHD

KEY FACTS 

• This Aston Martin Vanquish S is a low-mileage example of the flagship grand tourer, in a handsome specification. 
• It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.9-litre V12, developing 520bhp and sending it to the rear wheels via a six-speed automated manual transmission with paddle shift. 
• This example was delivered new to New York, US, which is confirmed in the car's Aston Martin 'Certificate of Origin', and was later exported to Dubai in the UAE, prior to being shipped to the UK. 
• The car has a NOVA clearance letter on file, confirming relief from UK duty and tax under the Transfer of Residence process. The car is now outside the restriction window, so is able to be sold on to another enthusiast. 
• While offered for sale in the north of England, the car is not yet registered in the UK. 
• It was most recently serviced by Aston Workshop in January 2022 at 28,685 miles. 

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES 

• This Vanquish S is finished in the sophisticated combination of Meteorite Silver over a grey leather-trimmed cabin with a grey Alcantara-trimmed headliner. 
• It rides on a set of 19-inch 11-spoke alloy wheels, housing red Aston Martin-branded brake callipers and shod in a set of brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. 
• Equipment includes rear parking sensors, air conditioning, a switchable sport mode and a LINN stereo system with CD, cassette and radio, as well as satellite navigation functionality. 
• Accompanying the car is the stamped service booklet, various invoices and receipts, an Aston Martin umbrella and a fitted car cover. 

CONDITION 

• Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. 
• Specific notes from the seller include: the boot lid was repainted to correct corrosion and there are a few small corrosion bubbles on the doors and rear behind the passenger's door. Some hairline cracks are present on the headlights. Inside, there is the usual creasing on the seats, and the rear parcel shelf would benefit from reupholstering due to the leather being stretched. 
• The seller notes that the gear shift display number has a couple of pixels which are not working, but is otherwise not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults. 
• The most recent MOT test is noted to have taken place in January 2022, resulting in a pass with no advisories. 
• A fresh MOT certificate would be required before the car takes to the road. 

SERVICE HISTORY 

• The latest service was carried out during January 2022 at 28,685 miles by the Aston Workshop in Beamish. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the air filters, brake fluid, tyres, air intake collars, and the battery.  
• Prior to this, the car was serviced in October 2021 at 28,674 miles by the Aston Workshop in Beamish, and in December 2019 at 22,388 miles by AMLC LLC in Dubai. 
• The seller notes that the history files documents in excess of £25,000 spent on maintenance, including many parts replaced to bring the car up to impressive condition.
