Background

Background:

The Vanquish had a controversial birth. It had been given a big build up in time for its UK debut at the 2000 Birmingham Motor Show, but it created more headlines by not appearing at the NEC. It was reported that Dr Ulrich Bez, the Chief Executive of Aston Martin, was unhappy with the fact that the Vanquish was using dashboard air vents from a Ford Ka. Despite the quality of the parts, he was not prepared for a £164,000 flagship supercar to share parts quite so obviously with a £7,000 shopping special. It reflects Aston Martin’s approach to the Vanquish – it was a flagship model designed to compete with the Ferrari 550 Maranello, a car that Aston Martin forensically examined to understand the quality standards required

Stylist Ian McCallum’s elegant body design work on the Vanquish adds muscle and aggression to the previously svelte lines. Employing a low volume hand-built construction process, the car’s chassis was of composite aluminium bonded, for reasons of strength, around a carbon fibre transmission tunnel. Extruded aluminium bulkheads were riveted and bonded to the floor pan with single piece composite side panels. A’ pillars made from braided carbon fibre around a honeycomb centre, the engine, steering and front suspension were mounted on a sub frame crafted from the same materials and bolted to the front bulkhead.

The ancillaries were mounted on a deformable composite crash structure with a similar structure providing for rear impact and aluminium bars allowing for side protection on collision. The flat underside of Vanquish tunnels into venturies generating down force and better high-speed stability. The external coachwork was produced using a new process known as superforming (super-plastic-forming) and pressed aluminium. This involves bringing the composite to a liquid plastic state and pouring the product over moulds with air pressure employed to control the final shaping. These aerospace quality panels are finally bonded to the composite structure by hand to ensure perfect fit and finish and protected with eight coats of paint.

New 10J x 19 forged alloy road wheels were shod with specially developed Yokohama tyres and braking was by four piston Brembo callipers biting 335mm gross drilled discs to the front and similar to the rear with a Teves ABS system and engine management control traction to the rear wheels. Tyre pressures were designed to be electronically monitored.

8 Connolly hides and 129 square feet of Wilton carpet in each car, maintained focus on comfort and quality while the use of high tech, hand finished aluminium accentuates the performance environment. Driver and passenger seating were by Recaro with full electric adjustment and heating. Sophisticated climate control was fitted as standard along with other useful driver’s aids such as, auto dimming rear view mirror, rain sensitive wipers with a heated windscreen; remote controlled central locking with boot release with an alarm and immobiliser.

Developments to the old DB7 Vantage’s 48-valve 6.0-litre V12 engine generated a 7% increase in power and a 2.5% increase in torque. The 450bhp developed will propel the 1820kg Aston from rest to 60 in under 4.5 seconds before reaching a maximum speed in excess of 190mph.

Summary

Awesome best describes this Vanquish S in Obsidian Black with matching diamond cut 19” Sport Pack Rims and Red Brake Calipers. The interior is equally stunning in Obsidian Black leather, with Red stitching, Piano Black Veneers and very rare Black Instruments.

Purchased September 2011 in Cape Town S.A. by the second and present owner, a true Aston Martin enthusiast and long-established client, he returned this outstanding Vanquish S to the U.K.in April 2015. It is accompanied by an extensive and well documented service history from new which confirms the present odometer reading of 25,476 miles or 41,000 kilometres.

With prices of Vanquish making a resurgence (Daily Telegraph 26th June) this Vanquish S represents excellent value for money.

Vehicle History

First registered in South Africa, this beautiful Vanquish S was acquired by the present second owner and ardent Aston Martin enthusiast in September 2011 through Aston Martin Cape Town. With residences in South Africa and the UK, he imported the car into the UK in 2015, and all Customs & Excise NOVA documentation is in order and the car was registered on his personalised plate. That plate has been retained and the car is offered for sale with its age designated DVLA registration mark.

There is a clear record of the car’s early maintenance in South Africa provided by Aston Martin Capetown and on arrival in the U.K. by H.W. Motors the oldest Aston Martin dealer in the World and recognised marque specialist, Trinity Engineering. This car has the true sheen of a well-loved and perfectly maintained car.
