2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S

The Vanquish S was the definitive iteration of Aston Martin's second-generation grand tourer, arriving in 2017 with a reworked 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12 pushing 595bhp and 630Nm — up from the standard car's 565bhp and 620Nm. This 2018 example has covered just 31,700 miles in eight years, which is genuinely restrained for a long-distance GT built for cross-continental travel. It wears Onyx Black Metallic with a full paint protection film, keeping the bodywork in the condition you'd expect from the low mileage.

The factory options list reflects a deliberate build. Externally, the Carbon Fibre Exterior Pack and Shadow Exterior Pack (black grilles, bonnet meshes, side strakes, window surrounds) give the car a darkened, coherent look, offset by the Rosso Corsa Red Vanquish Graphics Pack and red brake calipers. The 20-inch Gloss Black Diamond-Turned five-spoke wheels complete the exterior theme. Inside, the Obsidian Black Filograph Quilted full-grain leather is stitched in red throughout, with a Carbon Fibre Twill Fascia, Black One-77 Alcantara steering wheel with black paddle-shifters, and Shadow Bronze Interior Jewellery Pack adding considered detail rather than random additions.

Aston Martin service history accompanies the car — an important provenance note for a naturally aspirated V12 of this generation. The Vanquish S sits at the top of the NA V12 Vanquish lineage before electrification and forced induction arrived; finding a well-optioned, low-mileage example with full PPF and a clean spec is increasingly uncommon.
