2018 ASTON MARTIN V12 VANTAGE S

This sensational 2018 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is one of the highest specified examples ever created. The Q specification of this car is unique, and this is the only Aston Martin to be painted in Satin Amethyst Red with a stunning Cirrus Grey and Deep Purple interior. Powered by a 6.0-litre V12 and with desirable seven-speed manual gearbox and power upgrade to 595bhp, this one-off V12 Vantage S is presented in superb condition and has covered just 2,541 miles from new.

The original owner of the car spared no expense when optioning this car, with a vast amount of Q options resulting in an overall cost of over £240,000. The full specification is outlined below, but highlights include the aforementioned unique Satin Amethyst Red paintwork, a 600bhp power upgrade, titanium exhaust with magnesium manifolds, GT8/12 full carbon fibre doors, and extensive carbon fibre options, including the roof and badges, as well as bespoke interior trim.

First registered on 13 January 2018, the car has had just one previous owner. The vendor has owned the car for around two years, in which time approximately 1,500 miles have been covered. The personalised registration plate ‘V12 YEA’ is included in the sale.

The Satin Amethyst Red paintwork is in superb condition, with no reported defects. When new, the car was fitted with full paint protection film by Topaz Detailing, with satin film over the bodywork and gloss film over the numerous external carbon fibre components. The unique paintwork not only showcases the sharp creases and wide haunches of the V12 Vantage S, but it also changes appearance in different light conditions, as is visible in the photographs. The titanium exhaust is proudly on display through the rear grille, with a gorgeous blue and purple tinge coming through. The vendor notes an exhaust switch has been fitted to allow control over the exhaust valves. The satin black 19-inch AMR Design wheels are in suberb condition, with subtle black brake callipers on the carbon ceramic brakes.

Moving inside, the bespoke interior is in exceptional condition. This custom mix of Cirrus Grey and Deep Purple is beautifully executed, with small details such as Deep Purple on the inside of the leather grab handles, and the optional black anodised componentry throughout the car pairs perfectly with the carbon fibre centre console. The car boasts a Bang and Olufsen BeoSound Audio upgrade, alongside full Apple CarPlay connectivity and many more comfort options.

The car most recently received a two-year service by Aston Martin Chichester in December 2019 at 1,762 miles, and prior to this, the car was serviced at HWM Aston Martin in December 2018 at 1,196 miles. The car’s official Aston Martin Warranty runs until January 2021.

The car has yet to be MOT tested due to its age, and the vendor reports the Pirelli P-Zero tyres are in good condition all round. The car is sold with manuals and service book, a presentation box, leather key pouch and umbrella. The crystal key, valet key and emergency key are all present, with the vendor reporting that the crystal key has never been used and is undamaged.

A genuine one-off example, the exceptional specification and condition of this V12 Vantage S make it a very special proposition. Comparisons are easily drawn to the V600, also boasting a V12 engine, manual gearbox, high specification and over £1m price tag, but there is none other like this truly one-of-a-kind example.
