The Vanquish S Red Arrows is one of the most exclusive Aston Martins ever built. It was designed in a partnership between Aston Martin and the Red Arrows and only 10 cars were ever built, the most special being “Red 10” - a tribute to Red Arrows Squadron Leader, Mike Ling MBE.
Mike is the longest-serving Red Arrows pilot in the team's history and his signature is on its final inspection plaque. The car was originally raffled in 2017 by the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund and sale of the £20 tickets raised an incredible £1. 5m for the charity!
The lucky winner, an ex-serviceman of 30 years standing, kept the car for 12 months before selling it through Aston Martin Cambridge for £380, 000. It was then purchased by our vendor and the car has covered in total just 3, 895 dry miles.
