2015 Aston Martin Vanquish

With 5,590 miles from new and a single owner throughout, this 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish is the sort of car the model's values are quietly rewarding. The 5.9-litre naturally aspirated V12 produces 568 bhp and 465 lb-ft, enough for 0-62 mph in 3.8 seconds and a 201 mph top speed. Few owners have used a Vanquish this sparingly.

It is finished in Ceramic Grey with an extensive carbon fibre package: roof, front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, mirror caps and twill side strakes, plus full-length carbon fascia trim inside. Grey brake calipers and 20-inch 10-spoke gloss black DT wheels keep the exterior understated, while the cabin pairs Obsidian Black Caithness leather and Alcantara with Galena Silver stitching and a Tailors Grey Alcantara headliner.

The details lean towards the motorsport side of the Aston Martin catalogue. The steering wheel is the One-77-style leather and Alcantara item, and the headrests carry embroidered Aston Martin wings. A Bang & Olufsen audio system, a 2+2 layout with ISOFIX and an upgraded alarm with volumetric and tilt sensors add everyday usability to a car that is otherwise about the V12.
