About this car

Most Vanquishes of this era used the paddle-shifted automated gearbox, so a car supplied new with a six-speed manual is a rare find. This one was delivered on 8 May 2002 in Skye Silver with Navy Blue trim, and it has covered around 47,000 miles.

Options include grey brake calipers, Navy Blue carpet piping, a body-colour door release, Violet Chrome fascia console, front stoneguards, a heated front screen, powerfold mirrors, a fire extinguisher and a 2+2 seating layout.

Stratton Motor Company, the supplying dealer, carried out almost all of the servicing. The file holds invoices and the original service book, with entries from 1,098 miles through to 45,697 miles in 2014. It then joined a Yorkshire collection, covering about 1,000 miles in the first year and a few hundred more before going into long-term indoor storage. The owner of 11 years is now selling, and the car is due to be MOT tested and fully serviced before sale.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Aston Martin factory figures for the 2001-2004 V12 Vanquish. Note: in 2002 the only factory gearbox was a 6-speed automated manual with paddle shifters. A true manual came later, only as an Aston Martin Works conversion. 0-60 left null because the published figure is uncertain.).
