Please note a new battery has been fitted to this car and the odometer reading is 492km, we have been unable to start the car. The car was specified new with Obsidian Black interior throughout so appears to have been retrimmed in the current yellow after production.
To celebrate the end of Vanquish production, the factory signed off with the Vanquish S Ultimate Edition, a run of the last 50 cars finished in 'Ultimate Black' with an upgraded interior and personalised sill plaques, as well as unique exterior and interior finishes.
An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the Vanquish had debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001, with deliveries commencing a few months later. The Vanquish was styled by Ian Callum, the man responsible for the DB7, and was powered by a 6.0-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine. A spin-off from Formula 1 technology, the state-of-the-art electronic engine management system provided 'drive by wire' throttle control and was linked to the six-speed gearbox's electro-hydraulic change mechanism, a 'first' for a production car. The gearchange was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes - fully manual or computer-controlled automatic - with a 'sport' setting available on both.
A pleasing blend of up-to-the-minute technology and traditional materials, the interior was dominated by an imposing aluminium centre console extending from fascia to transmission tunnel. Connolly leather upholstery, Wilton carpeting and quilted Alcantara headlining emphasised the Aston Martin heritage, for despite its advanced specification the Vanquish was built like all other Astons before it: one at a time, by hand. Standard equipment included almost everything the discerning enthusiast would wish for: Alpine stereo system; 6-CD changer; air conditioning; electrically adjustable seats; alarm/immobiliser; tyre pressure sensing; automatic rain-sensing wipers; automatic headlamp operation; automatic rear-view mirror dipping; trip computer, etc, etc.
The Ultimate Edition was based on the revamped Vanquish S that superseded the original version following its debut at the Paris Auto Show in 2004. The previously optional Sports Dynamic Pack of enhanced steering, suspension and brakes came as standard with the Vanquish S. This rare and collectible unregistered last-of-the-line Vanquish Ultimate Edition was purchased new by the current vendor and has been on static display since acquisition. There are no documents with this Lot and recommissioning is advised.
