Pre-bids

2003 Aston Martin Vanquish

Highlights

  • Very low mileage Vanquish 
  • Superbly presented car reflecting limited use
  • FSH with 18 service stamps 
  • One of only 1,503 Vanquish built 
  • AML registration plate included
  •  MOT until late November

The Appeal

After the DB7 Aston Martin’s mojo was back and no car embodies this quite like the Vanquish. Balancing traditional hand-built quality with a new, technology-driven focus, it has a critical role in the firm’s development. 
Of course, it was also as brutally quick and capable as any customer would expect. And it was rare too, just 1,503 Vanquish models like this one reaching discerning buyers over four years. 
This is surely one of the best available. A very low mileage car with impeccable service history - there 18 stamps - it is in commensurate condition. A MOT through to November provides extra reassurance that this is a superb, high end collector car.  

The History and Paperwork

  • First registered 22nd May 2003
  • Four registered keepers 
  • Original supplying dealer sales invoice 
  • Large history file comprising many Aston Martin Works Service invoices
  • Further invoices from well regarded specialist Runnymede Motor Company 
  • Service book with 18 stamps showing attention irrespective of mileage 
  • A full service by Aston Martin Bristol a few hundred miles ago at 23,555 in November 2024
  • AML-related registration plate included in sale 
  • MOT until November 2025

The Condition

  • Desirable Tungsten Silver colour in excellent well kept condition 
  • Well kept factory multi-spoke alloys with good quality tyres showing plenty of tread
  • Black leather interior in good order showing little wear 
  • LINN high end sound system with factory fitted boot subwoofer 
  • Electric front seats
  • Parrot system fitted
  • Grey leather dashboard in good order with matching three spoke wheel 
Inside the Vanquish, you are greeted with black leather and black carpet, the most desirable interior. The seats are in fine order with only the smallest creases in the leather indicating use, the carpets are the same, free from tear or signs of any harsh use. It’s quite obvious the little miles that have been carried out have done nothing to upset the fine and sporty internals.
Beautiful from every angle, the Vanquish was the start of Aston Martin's modern design brilliance. Recognisable world wide thanks to its appearance on the big screen, the lustrous, sweeping body is in great condition and painted in the most desirable colour Tungsten Silver. 
Minor blemishes have started to appear on the wheels but something that isn't noticeable and easily repaired. Overall, a stunning car in fabulous condition. 

The Mechanics

  • 5,935cc hand built Aston Martin V12 
  • Impeccable maintenance history by Works and specialists 
  • Most recently serviced a few hundred miles ago at 23,527 miles 
  • New clutch at 21,000 miles 
During our visit the car started and moved slightly into position for the photos, it started easily and erupted with the most monumental noise. The sound is incredible, utterly captivating and makes this car even more of an alluring motor. 

The car has been kept in fine running order by all keepers, with the required maintenance being carried out normally within a few 1,000 miles of each other, the only other work carried out was a new clutch and flywheel was installed in 2016 and 21,206 miles. It was last serviced at 23,500 miles in November 2024. The MOT runs November 2025.
