2005 ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH S

KEY FACTS

• A thoroughly refined and low-mileage example of Aston Martin’s Vanquish S, featuring a more powerful engine and revised gearing.
• Under the bonnet sits a 5.9-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, producing 520bhp which is delivered to the rear wheels through a six-speed automated manual transmission with paddle shift.
• Previously registered in the US, this Vanquish has been with its current owner in Dubai for the last two-and-a-half years, and has had just three owners in total.
• With a top speed of over 200mph, the Vanquish S is one of the fastest Aston Martin road cars crafted at the renowned Newport Pagnell facility.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The car is finished in Tungsten Silver metallic over a tan leather and Alcantara cabin, complete with quilted headlining and matching Tungsten Silver metallic trim.
• It rides on its original 19-inch alloy wheels housing silver brake callipers, and with Aston Martin wings on the wheel centre caps, shod all round with Pirelli P Zero tyres.
• The factory specification includes electrically adjustable heated seats and satellite navigation. It was ordered in the ‘2+0’ seating configuration.
• A Quicksilver exhaust has been fitted to the vehicle, though the original exhaust comes with the car if the next owner wishes to retain it.
• Also included in the sale is the service book, toolkit, first aid kit, and emergency puncture repair kit.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• The Tungsten Silver metallic paintwork is in very good condition. A few imperfections are visible, including small stone chips on the front bumper and grille, and a couple of minor blemishes on the bonnet and side panel.
• Inside, the tan leather and Alcantara cabin is in great shape, with light creasing to the seats and a small scuff on the driver’s upright bolster, but no heavy wear. There are minor marks elsewhere, but nothing that spoils the overall impressive appearance.
• The owner states that the car is in excellent running order, with no known mechanical or electrical faults.
