Chassis Number: TBA
- Genuine UK-supplied, low mileage example

Introduced in 2012, the second-generation Aston Martin Vanquish represented a significant evolution of the marque’s flagship grand touring model, combining dramatic styling, advanced materials and formidable V12 performance. Drawing inspiration from the exclusive One-77 hypercar, the Vanquish featured extensively sculpted carbon-fibre bodywork and a distinctive, muscular appearance, while its sophisticated construction delivered impressive rigidity and refinement. The open-top Vanquish Volante followed in 2013, offering the same extraordinary performance and visual drama with the additional appeal of open-air motoring. At its heart was Aston Martin’s naturally aspirated 5. 9-litre V12, producing 565 bhp and 457 lb-ft of torque, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed Touchtronic automatic transmission. Capable of reaching 60 mph in approximately 4. 1 seconds and a maximum speed of 183 mph, the Vanquish Volante offers exceptional performance with excellent long-distance touring ability.
One of just 73 examples believed to be registered to the UK in 2014, this beautiful Vanquish Volante has covered approximately 36, 000 miles with just two private owners from new.
Finished in a particularly attractive shade of metallic graphite grey, with a subtle metallic fleck which catches the sunlight beautifully, the Vanquish is well specified, featuring carbon-ceramic braking and optional forged lightweight 20-inch, 20-spoke alloy wheels, their distinctive 'V' design complementing the car's muscular styling. Selectable Sport and Track driving modes allow the driver to explore more of the Vanquish's considerable dynamic capabilities, whilst ensconced in a luxurious cabin trimmed in black quilted leather with hand-stitched detailing, complemented by an impressive Bang & Olufsen sound system and a One-77-inspired steering wheel.
The Aston-Martin is supplied complete with original service/ owners books, both keys, also invoices for servicing in current ownership. Accompanying the car are an original factory wind deflector, factory battery trickle charger and a Vodafone vehicle tracking system.
Combining the muscular presence of the Vanquish with the appeal of open-top V12 motoring, this well-specified example offers an appealing opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive modern naturally aspirated Aston Martins, at a significant saving over the original list price.
