The Appeal
An Aston Martin with four doors and four seats has got to be appealing.
Stunning performance and torque available from the 6.0 litre V12 engine, and a luxurious and very well appointed cabin make this a very desirable model that allows the driver to share the excitement and experience of a modern day high performance Aston Martin, with more than just the usual one passenger.7vX9WmVj9G3pR5zF9hbAZT0Msrmm4m8Dv7eQrjO2.jpeg415.13 KB

The well-equipped interior presents really well, with the seat’s leather showing only modest wear with no rips or other damage and the rest of the interior trim is also in great shape.
Clear design, tactility and premium materials used throughout the cabin make this an exciting place to be, with all controls falling naturally to the driver’s hands.
Sculpted rear seats keep the rear seat passenger comfortable where there is also rear entertainment screens and independent climate control to keep things at the perfect temperature.
Few cars are as beautiful as the recent Aston Martins, and their stretched four-door supercar, the Rapide, is no exception, its extra length making it look even sleeker if that were possible.
The paintwork, barring a small mark on the rear left wing, a tiny scratch on the rear nearside wheel arch and the driver’s door metal trim strip needing re-fixing, is in overall great condition, the well favoured Aston Martin Silver metallic paintwork suiting the car well and a great contrast to the all black interior.
A couple of the wheel centres are beginning to delaminate, but this won’t deter anyone from bidding on this spectacular car.
• Sport button sharpens throttle and gearbox response
• Adaptive damping
With its last major service done in 2016 shortly after purchase the car has had a recent oil service and a recent new battery, having spent the recent Covid lockdowns off the road.
The car runs and goes as it should, which is incredibly fast if you want it to be with an excellent and responsive chassis and some serious brakes up front to reduce speed in an instant.
Everything is reported to work as it should with the exception of the front loading 6-CD changer which still has a CD inside which it refuses to play or eject.N3QcYVoa2CCoi8gjxzsKUGFMj3kcVopiw25PgZkt.jpeg465.8 KB
The Summary
An ultimate and very stunning four-door very high-performance car made by Aston Martin, what’s not to like?
