Aston Martin Vanquish S

This is a Vanquish S, the last of the original Vanquish line and the final Aston Martin built at Newport Pagnell. It has the naturally aspirated 5.9-litre V12 with 520 bhp, and it is a left-hand-drive car supplied from Dubai.

Its main interest is the gearbox. The dealer says the car was converted from the standard automated manual to a six-speed manual under an Aston Martin factory programme that cost £40,000. That makes it far rarer than a standard car. The page gives a production figure of 1,086 Vanquish S, with only a small number converted.

The car is finished in Onyx Black Metallic with black leather and 19-inch alloy wheels. The odometer reads 23,112 miles. The service book carries 13 stamps, and a major service at Chilton Aston Centre was recorded at 23,096 miles at a cost of £6,544. The page lists a first registration date of 1 July 2024 and an MOT to July 2027, and the V5 is held.
