2013 Aston Martin Vanquish 6.0 V12

A 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish finished in white with an unusually rich carbon fibre specification. The second-generation Vanquish marked Aston's return to bonded aluminium VH architecture wrapped in carbon fibre bodywork, and this car leans into that theme with a carbon fibre roof panel, carbon side strakes, carbon fibre twill facia and matching door mirror caps. The 2+2 cabin is trimmed in semi-aniline leather with Aston Martin Wings headrest embroidery and accented by the Shadow Bronze Jewellery Pack.

Powering the car is the naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 producing 565 bhp and 620 lb/ft, driving the rear wheels through the Touchtronic II six-speed automatic. The factory options continue with B&O BeoSound audio, a reversing camera, 20-inch 20-spoke satin black alloys and a garage door opener. At 41,119 miles this is a used example that has clearly been specified and maintained by an owner who understood what makes a Vanquish worth having.

It's a GT that still feels distinctly analogue next to modern turbocharged equivalents — hand-built at Gaydon, mechanically simple, and with a V12 voice that justifies the badge on its own.
