2007 ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH S - ULTIMATE EDITION

KEY FACTS

• An exceptionally rare and well-appointed limited edition version of the British super GT, presented in excellent condition and with very low mileage.
• Under the bonnet sits the S-specification 5.9-litre naturally aspirated V12, which sends up to 520bhp to the rear wheels via a six-speed automated manual transmission with paddle shift.
• The odometer currently indicates just 19,958km (12,401 miles) from new.
• A Japanese-market example, this Vanquish S is marked as number 14 of the 50 Ultimate Edition cars produced.
• Sold new by Aston Martin Akasaka, it was imported into the UK and registered with the DVLA in February 2018, and has been enjoyed by the seller for the past two-and-a-half years.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Created to mark the end of the first-generation V12 Vanquish S’ production and the closure of Aston Martin’s Newport Pagnell factory, only 50 (20 right-hand drive and 30 left-hand drive) Ultimate Edition examples were produced.
• As seen in this example, each was finished in the unique metallic hue of Ultimate Black, with black semi-aniline leather upholstery accented by coarse white stitching and black chrome trim.
• Equipment includes heated and electrically adjustable front seats, air conditioning and an integrated infotainment system with satellite navigation.
• It rides on the correct 19-inch, 11-spoke alloy wheels, which are in great shape.
• The car will be supplied with its original leather-bound service book, invoices for its maintenance during its time in the UK and a Vehicle Heritage Certificate from the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, confirming its identity and factory specification.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• The Ultimate Black paintwork is believed to be entirely original, and is described by the seller as being in excellent overall condition, with only a few minor marks around the car, as well as small scratches on the driver’s-side front wing and the front bumper where they meet the headlight unit, and on the headlight lens itself.
• Inside, the black leather-trimmed cabin presents very well indeed, and while there are some light creases on the front seat bolsters, minor marks on the lower section of the driver’s door card and scratches on the steering wheel’s right-hand horn button, this is in keeping with the car’s age and mileage.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 20 August 2021 at 19,848km, resulting in a clean, first-time pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Vanquish S’ most recent routine maintenance was a full service, which was carried out in December 2018 at 19,151km by the technicians at Aston Martin Reading.
