Our two-owner Aston Martin Vanquish has been serviced and maintained exclusively throughout its life only by Harwoods Ltd of Chichester (the supplying dealer), or Aston Martin Works Service in Newport Pagnell.

Clearly an exceptionally well-kept example, the luxurious Ivory hide interior shows only very light signs of use, let alone wear, whilst the contrasting Jet Black Metallic coachwork still boasts an enviable shine.  Mechanically, our car is in very good order with a healthy turn of power, addictive exhaust note, and although the gear changes are not as lightning-quick when measured against later offerings, the driving experience is actually very pleasant indeed.  Famously, the door rubbers which used to pinch and tear on these models are all in good order on this car, largely no doubt due to the modest number of occasions that it was used annually.

Optional extras for this motorcar include 2004 Model Year wheels, shod with Yokohama “AML” fitment tyres showing good tread, red brake calipers, heated front screen, power fold mirrors, rear park sensors, and the preferred Linn audio system and speakers, plus SatNav.

It’s being sold with accompanying handbooks and service book in the dealer-supplied metal folder and has two keys, both with fobs, and both operational.  A charger kit, Motorola car phone, umbrella, and even an Aston Martin-branded fire-extinguisher complete the package.  Last serviced in May of 2019, this was a Major Service, with Diff oil, brake fluid and all fluids changed.
