Description
2008 ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH S
Finished in Oynx Black over Obsidian Black hides, we are pleased to offer this superb, low mileage, late production example of Aston Martin’s landmark model, the Vanquish S.
With its heroic, iconic and timeless styling, combined with highly capable, ultimate Grand Tourer performance and offering a sumptuous, comfortable cabin, the Vanquish S model is firmly established as a must have ‘Young Timer’ classic car to today’s enthusiast and collector.
With the Vanquish bloodline now in its third generation, this original and first generation Vanquish S, was the last model hand built by the skilled and renowned craftsmen at Newport Pagnell and the first Aston Martin model to be constructed on the new Aluminium and Carbon Fibre chassis, ushering in a ‘New Era’ for the marque.
Powered by the famed and mighty Aston Martin 6. 0 litre V12 engine, producing 520 bhp and delivering a top speed of over 200 mph, the Vanquish S delivers superb performance with exceptional ride quality and comfort.
When production of the Vanquish S ceased in 2007, just 1, 086 examples had been produced, of which, just 293 were supplied in UK RHD specification.
The new design language of the Vanquish, created by renowned designer Ian Callum, was enhanced for the Vanquish S model with a rear lip spoiler, front splitter and revised front grille, newly equipped with improved suspension, larger brakes and a re-engineered ‘paddle shift’ transmission operating system. All considerable improvements to the earlier non-S variant.
The Vanquish S that we now delighted offer certainly does not disappoint in any regard and can be regarded as a ‘collector grade’ example; low mileage, desirable colour combination, extensive service and maintenance history and in first class condition throughout.
Completed by Aston Martin in June 2007 and first supplied by Aston Martin Cardiff, this is example is understood to be the last registered Vanquish S, in May 2008. Our research confirms that this to have been the last UK RHD Vanquish S, with just 7 more cars being built before the Vanquish S Ultimate’s commenced build in August 2007.
In addition to the high standard 2007 model year specifications of the Vanquish S model, this example was ordered with the notable options of Bluetooth, a heated front screen, Red brake calipers, chrome exterior door releases, front stoneguards, 2+2 seating arrangement, quilted headling, alcantara seat inserts and St James Red stitching. Latterly the wheels have been finished in an attractive graphite grey and the brake calipers finished in a distinctive gold. Both items can be returned to original specifications if preferred by the next owner.
Serviced regularly by Aston Martin main agents in its early life and maintained by our own factory trained technicians since 2020, our pre-sale inspection confirms the car to be in superb condition throughout, the cosmetic presentation befitting the low mileage covered.
Supplied freshly serviced, prepared and detailed to our usual high standards, with 12 months MOT and 12 months warranty, along with substantial history folder and custom fit car cover.
Available for viewing and demonstration at our Hertfordshire showrooms.
