Aston Martin Vanquish

This 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish represents the second-generation AM310, the successor to the DBS and the first Aston to use the VH Generation IV platform with its bonded aluminium structure and extensive carbon fibre bodywork. Finished in white and presented with a 41,119-mile record, this example carries a desirable run of factory options including the Shadow Bronze Jewellery Pack, exposed carbon fibre roof panel, carbon side strakes and mirror caps, 20-inch satin black 20-spoke alloys, and a full carbon fibre twill facia. Inside, the 2+2 cabin is trimmed in semi-aniline leather with Aston Martin Wings headrest embroidery and a B&O BeoSound system.

Power comes from the naturally aspirated 5.9-litre AM11 V12 producing 565 bhp and 620 lb-ft, sent through the Touchtronic II automatic gearbox to the rear wheels. Gaydon-era Vanquish examples remain a relative bargain against their DB11 and DBS Superleggera successors, offering arguably the last truly analogue Aston GT with a properly engineered carbon-rich body. Further conveniences include memory seats, rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, garage door opener and Bluetooth telephony, making this a usable flagship GT as well as a collectible one.
