The Appeal

Most so-called '2+2 GTs' are a bit of an exaggeration. Yes, they do indeed have four seats, but you wouldn't want to get into the back of most of them for any more than a few miles.

Adding a four-door car to the range was a bold move for Aston Martin back in 2013 but the idea was truly inspired. You didn't have to be a contortionist to get in the back of a Rapide and fully grown adults could actually travel in comfort no matter how long the journey was.

The Rapide didn't compromise on performance either, offering the exhilarating driving experience of the DB9, but with the added convenience of four seats and a hatchback design.

This early example is resplendent in the Obsidian Black with a Cream Truffle interior. It has been well-maintained as evidenced with extensive service history and no advisories on its current MOT. It was optioned with a host of desirable extras which further enhance its usability alongside an aftermarket Bluetooth Apple Car Play kit.

The Rapide presents well throughout and is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.
