The Volkswagen Phaeton was Ferdinand Piëch's bold vision to create a luxury saloon that defied the often austere image more affiliated with the House of Wolfsburg. The 5.0-litre V10 long-wheelbase variant sits at the very top of the range and remains a highly aspirational car through and through. Rare when new and rarer still today, these cars have developed a devoted following - is it time you joined their number?
This particular example has been in the care of one owner for over 19 years, having been acquired from the supplying Volkswagen dealership in February 2007 after a brief period as a demonstrator. Finished in dark blue over cream leather with cream carpets, it is specified with every available option.
Serviced predominantly by main dealer Alan Day for much of its life, it has recently passed its MOT with fresh rear discs and pads fitted, and is ready for its next custodian.image.png2.21 MB
