Beloved by modern day enthusiasts and heritage collectors alike. The aggressive appearance of the Vanquish in 'Die Another Day' cemented its place in James Bond history and has helped to make this an instantly recognisable model. Featuring a bonded aluminium chassis combined with many pieces of traditional craftsmanship ushered in a new era for Aston Martin. Underneath the bonnet sat a 460bhp, V12 engine delivering power through a six-speed manual gearbox controlled by an electro-hydraulic, paddle-shift gearchange. Aston Martin's own cars were initially registered with their own 'AML' plates and, as such, this example left the factory with 'AML 1' pride of place, front and rear before changing to its current registration about a year later.

First registered on 1st March 2004, this stunning low mileage example of the desirable 2+2 Aston Martin Vanquish has been privately owned for the last 18 years after being purchased by Chelsea and England football player, John Terry. Presented in stunning Jet Black coachwork with matching black leather trim and silver centre console with accents of red calipers behind the silver alloy wheels, we believe this 'bit of Bond' is in one of the most desirable colour configurations. Offered with a comprehensive service history with Aston Martin main dealer and specialists stamps, it was last serviced at 25,800 which saw new discs and pads. Boasting four new Michelin tyres, this is a wonderful modern classic sure to appreciate in the coming years especially with an added bit of ownership provenance. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
