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. 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 gear change was controlled by F1-style paddles.
A pleasing blend of up-to-the-minute technology and traditional materials, the interior featured Connolly leather upholstery, Wilton carpeting and quilted Alcantara headlining, emphasising Aston Martin's heritage, yet 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.
The Ultimate Edition was based on the revamped Vanquish S that superseded the original version in 2004. The previously optional Sports Dynamic Pack of enhanced steering, suspension and brakes came as standard on the Vanquish S.
This rare and collectible last-of-the-line Vanquish S Gulf Ultimate Edition was purchased new by the current vendor and comes with a copy of the purchase invoice listing the following specification: Morning Frost White paintwork; Obsidian Black leather trim; heated front screen; English instrument pack; satellite navigation; red brake callipers; Platinum/Obsidian steering wheel; and Smokers Kit (since removed).
Prior to delivery, the Vanquish was extensively modified by Aston Martin to the VIP vendor's personal order, which included a complete new interior trimmed in Auburn and Maple leather; Gentek interior mirror; proximity sensors; repainted (yellow) brake callipers; and changing the car from Middle East to Swiss specification. A copy of Aston Martin's bill for £42,501 is on file together with a (photocopy) Swiss Carte Grise. Kept on static display as part of the owner's extensive private collection, this rare variant of the Vanquish S Ultimate family benefits from recent recommissioning by Stratton Motor Company (invoice on file).
