The first generation Vanquish is one of the most classically beautiful GT coupes to come from this era. Introduced to the public as James Bonds hero car in Die Another Day, it was a quantum leap from Aston Martins previous flagship supercar, the Virage.
This US spec car has clearly been well cared for. The Vanquish is known to have some corrosion issues if they are not properly cared for. A panels-off inspection showed this one to be in excellent condition with little to no issues with the common places. There were few options available on these cars as they came with most equipment standard. This one has the upgraded Linn audio system and leather/Alcantara interior.
In preparation for its sale, we completed the following:
Suspension Refresh:

Added Preventative Bulletproofing:
– Gen 1 Vanquish voltage spike protection kit. (buffers ECM’s from possible damage)

At a time when most of the significant cars of this era have been hitting all-time pricing highs, the first gen Vanquish offers an amazing value at its current price of entry.
This car has been well-kept and with the services just performed, it should continue to be a very good car well into the future.
