2010 Aston Martin DBS

We are delighted to offer this low mileage, highly specified DBS, finished in Quantum Silver over Obsidian Black semi-aniline (Q Exclusive) Balmoral leather hides with Cirrus Grey alcantara inserts, presented in superb condition throughout.

Replacing the first generation Vanquish as the flagship of the Aston Martin range in 2007, the DBS was, at the time, the most capable high performance GT model Aston Martin had produced, with the legendary V12 engine tuned to 510bhp, a stiffer chassis and for the first time on an Aston Martin road car, the DBS had vented carbon ceramic brakes. Another first for an Aston Martin was carbonfibre composite body panels used for the boot enclosure, boot lid, door opening surrounds, front wings and bonnet, together offering a 30kg saving over the aluminium equivalent.

A starring role for the DBS in ‘Casino Royale’, the 007 movie that provided Daniel Craig his debut as our favourite secret agent, along with the models ‘harder edge’ garnered support not just from existing Aston Martin owners but also car enthusiasts that had probably only before considered a GT car from Maranello or Stuttgart. Dealers worldwide enjoying full order books at launch. Interestingly, Aston Martin went on to build just over 2,500 DBS’ (354 of those being finished in Quantum Silver) before production ceased in 2012.

Timeless exterior styling, interior design and quality, driving dynamics, an addictive V12 soundtrack and ‘Bond car’ status all combine to make today, the DBS, one of the most sought-after models amongst the Aston Martin enthusiast community and a future classic in the view of many a car journalist and internet forum!

Equipped with the close ratio Touchtronic II Automatic Gearbox, this attractive 2010.5 model year example, first registered in March 2010, was built in Quantum Silver over Obsidian Black hides, with attractive Cirrus Grey alcantara seat inserts, with Obsidian Black carpet and Cirrus Grey alcantara headlining.

In addition to the usual high specifications of the DBS model, which includes Bang & Olufsen Beosound audio system, notable optional extras on this example include; Piano Black fascia trim, Magnum Silver meshes, polished alloy door tread plates, an alcantara trimmed steering wheel and 10-Spoke Diamond Turned silver wheels.

Serviced by Aston Martin Main agents throughout its life, our pre-sale inspection confirms that this example is in excellent condition throughout, the paintwork presenting to a very high standard and the interior displaying only light evidence of any wear, as befits the low mileage of 12,200 from new.

Supplied to its next owner freshly serviced, to schedule, with 12 months MOT and 12 months warranty, along with a battery conditioner, AM umbrella and bespoke Leather-bound history file.

1998 ASTON MARTIN V8 COUPE #91 OF 101

Finished in one of the most desirable colour combinations for this model and benefitting from low mileage and a comprehensive servicing and maintenance regime, we are pleased to offer this superb ‘late model’ 1998 V8 Coupe.

The Aston Martin V8 Coupe adopted the styling cues and significantly, the chassis improvements of the flagship V8 Vantage 550 supercharged model, in an elegant and more subtly styled body. Built near the end of the coach-built era of car manufacturing, just 101 of the V8 Coupe's rolled off the Newport Pagnell production line, in total. Now highly sought after, the V8 Coupe is a Grand Tourer par excellence and is refined, with a luxuriously appointed interior, generous 2+2 seating and well-balanced body styling. Attributes, which when combined with the model’s effortless performance, give a superb Grand Touring experience.

Chassis number 79091 is one of the very last cars built, is distinguishable by the later style door mirrors and exterior door handles, as well as relocated powered seat switches. Finished in Rolls Royce Midnight Blue and complemented with Parchment and Pacific Blue Connolly hide interior. This excellent example much cherished by its 4 owners from new, is complete with a comprehensive Aston Martin service history, from the original supplying dealer onward, with services carried out by Aston Martin Works and highly respected AM specialists.

Purchased by its last but one owner from ourselves in 2017, an enthusiast and collector of the marque, more recently the car has been fitted with a new audio system and new set of tyres by surrey-based AM specialist’s. This particular car, has also been Immortalised and now features in the definitive AMV8 reference book, the 'Aston Martin V8’ by Palawan Press. More exclusive and refined, than both its Virage and V8 predecessors, the hand built and extreme low volume production V8 Coupe’s, warrant attention from enthusiasts and collectors alike. This late example is one of the finest we know and is in particularly excellent order, throughout.

Supplied with an extensive history file, including servicing and MOT records, a manufacturer’s build sheet and its original, 1998 purchase invoice. This car is supplied, fully prepared to our usual high standards, by our own Heritage technicians and is now ‘on the button’ ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.

Available now, for viewing and inspection at our showrooms in Hertfordshire.

2007 ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH S

We are pleased to offer this excellent, low mileage, late production example of Aston Martin’s landmark model, the Vanquish S.

With its heroic, iconic and timeless styling, combined with highly capable, ultimate Grand Tourer performance and offering a sumptuous, comfortable cabin, the Vanquish S model is firmly established as a must have ‘Young Timer’ classic car to today’s enthusiast and collector.

When production of the Vanquish S, at the Newport Pagnell Works, ceased in 2007, just 1,086 examples had been produced, of which, just 293 were supplied in UK RHD specification.

With the Vanquish bloodline now in its third generation, this original and first generation Vanquish S, was the last model hand built by the skilled and renowned craftsmen at Newport Pagnell and the first Aston Martin model to be constructed on the new Aluminium and Carbon Fibre chassis. Powered by the famed and mighty Aston Martin 6.0 litre V12 engine, producing 520 bhp and delivering a top speed of over 200 mph, the Vanquish S delivers superb performance with exceptional ride quality and comfort.

The new design language of the Vanquish, created by renowned designer Ian Callum, was enhanced for the Vanquish S model with a rear lip spoiler, front splitter and revised front grille, newly equipped with improved suspension, larger brakes and a re-engineered ‘paddle shift’ transmission operating system. All considerable improvements to the earlier non-S variant.

The Vanquish S that we now delighted offer certainly does not disappoint in any regard and can be regarded as a ‘tick box’ example; low mileage, desirable colour combination, extensive service and maintenance history and in superb condition throughout.

First supplied by Aston Martin’s Channel Island’s agent, Jacksons, and registered in Jersey in January 2007, before being imported to mainland UK in 2012, this late production Vanquish S is finished in Oynx Black over luxurious Black Cherry hides and carpets, one of only 2 UK RHD examples, build in this combination.

In addition to the high standard 2007 model year specifications of the Vanquish S model, this example is fitted with heated seats, Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, a heated front screen, Red brake calipers, body colour door releases, front stoneguards and 2+2 seating configuration. Latterly, this car has been fitted with a useful rear parking camera.

In recent years, forming part of a significant Aston Martin collection and housed in ideal, climate-controlled garaging, our pre-sale inspection confirms the car to be in excellent condition throughout, the cosmetic presentation befitting the low mileage covered.

Supplied with a substantial history folder, full preparation, to our usual high standards, 12 months MOT and 12 months warranty.

2015 ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH (8-SPEED)

Low mileage, tastefully specified and of the highest quality, we are delighted to offer this superb, 8-speed, example of Aston Martin’s former flagship model, the Vanquish.

First introduced in 2012, the Vanquish, positioned as the ultimate super grand tourer, evolved the design of its predecessor, the DBS and incorporated in its manufacture the use of Carbon fibre body panels, the first production Aston Martin to do so, in order to restrain its kerb weight to 1739kg. Aston Martin’s 5.9 litre V12 engine was upgraded for the Vanquish to 565bhp, providing enough power to propel the Vanquish to a quoted top speed of 201mph. The 2015 model year Vanquish received several upgrades, the most significant of which was the introduction of the 8-speed Touchtronic III gearbox and the engine, now to AM29 spec, revised with a little more power (568bhp) and torque (630nm) but incredibly less emissions and better fuel economy due to the new Bosch engine management system.

The 2016 model year example, we are now delighted to offer for sale, was first registered in December 2015 and is finished in the out-of-range exterior colour of Ferrari Grigio Titanio Silver over Dark Knight (Navy Blue) hides and Caspian Blue carpets. Using data supplied by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, our research confirms that only six Vanquish were finished in this exterior colour, of which only 2 were UK right hand drive with this being the only car with a Dark Knight interior, thus this being a unique ‘One of One’ example.

In addition to the standard luxurious Vanquish specifications, which include Bang & Olufsen 1000w audio and reverse parking camera, notable options on this car include; black brake calipers, black textured exhaust tailpipe finishers, full length twill carbon fascia trim, satin chrome jewellery pack, Iridium interior trim pack, gloss Carbon Fibre mirror caps, Carbon Fibre roof panel, Carbon Fibre side strakes, ventilated front seats, Aston Martin wings headrest embroidery, One77 leather / alcantara steering wheel and 20” 10 spoke Gloss Black diamond turned wheels. A full list of options is available on request.

Latterly, at the request of the last owner, our Trim & Upholstery department produced and installed a bespoke headlining and black side window finishers have been installed, replacing the original chrome finish items. The original finishers being available with the car.

Having completed just over 13,900 miles from new, this car is in superb condition throughout. The paintwork unmarked and protected by G-Techniq ceramic coat. Servicing has been carried out annually by Aston Martin main agents and ourselves.

This timelessly designed Vanquish, considered by many to be Aston Martins finest ever GT car, is now available for viewing and demonstration at our Hertfordshire showrooms.

2016 MORGAN AERO 8 MKV CONVERTIBLE

Bespoke, bonkers, brilliant! We are excited and delighted to offer this unique, highly specified and head turning Morgan Aero 8 convertible for sale.

One of the most innovative models in Morgan’s history, the Aero 8 made its debut in 2000, gaining a loyal following of enthusiasts enticed by its distinctive styling, personality and performance. The Aero 8 was to evolve over the years and at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015, Morgan announced that the Morgan Aero 8 would be revived with a Series 5 model.

The Series 5 reintroduced a soft top to the Aero range but still using the same BMW 4.8L V8 engine (providing 367bhp / 490NM of torque) and manual or automatic gearbox. This was completed by the new design lead Jonathan Wells with the intention of bringing a fresh theme to the model with more modern materials. New interior finishes with a change to the dashboard and infotainment continue to update the experience.
The car retained the front design of the Aero models however the rear design was more akin to the boat tail of the Supersports. The revised rear design permitted it to have a fabric roof that can be stored in the rear parcel slot, giving the car a flat rear deck profile.

The Series 5 also had a completely new front and rear suspension, with anti-roll bars and outboard conventional wishbones and coil over units. Additional structural elements replacing the inboard suspension units gave added chassis stiffness.

We understand that just 160 Mark V Aero 8’s were produced, between 2016-2018.

It is a 6-speed ZF manual gearbox example we now offer. Finished in the stunning Aero Racing exclusive Satin Speed Silver over Yarwood Black Leather, complimented by a Black mohair convertible hood.
Exterior optional extras specified on this example include; Morgan MK V Aero 8 AERO RACING Performance pack, 19” Plus Six Alloy Wheel upgrade in Black Chrome, Exclusive AR Motorsport paint (only available on AR cars or with purchase of Aero performance packs), Bespoke Black Chrome wing and splitter cooling vent mesh, Matt Paint protection Film, side exit Sports exhausts, Red Callipers, Gloss Black Chrome Diffuser, AR Motorsport detailing pack, headrest embroidery and AR bonnet badges

Interior optional extras specified include; Yarwood Brooklands Black Leather, Air conditioning, Cruise Control, Red Seat belts, Red Leather handbrake gator, Red Gear stick Gator, Red switch panel trim, Aero racing Black leather steering wheel with polished centre, Raven Ash Wood door tops and Dash top, Raven Ash Wood Laminate for gearbox tunnel top, Box Weave carpet trim to tunnel, sills, parcel shelf in Black, Diamond Quilted leather on seat centres and door panels and Heated seats.

Having covered under 18,000 miles from new and benefitting from Morgan main agent servicing since new, with the last service carried out by Morgan in February 2024, just 200 miles ago, this car is in superb condition throughout.

For sheer character and charm, few cars can match the Morgan Aero 8. Truly hand built, in tiny volumes and with a traditional look, yet the Aero 8 is a thoroughly modern sports car. Tempted? You should be!

2002 FERRARI 575M MARANELLO

Finished in the classic colour combination of Grigio Titanio over Bordeaux hides, we are delighted to offer this superb, reference example of Ferrari’s 575M Maranello.

Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2002, the 575M Maranello signalled a whole new level of achievement for one of Ferrari’s most traditional layouts – the V12 front-engined rear-wheel drive berlinetta.
Replacing the successful 550 Maranello, in essence the 575 was an uprated 550, built on the same tubular steel chassis but with a bigger and more powerful engine (575 being shorthand for 5,748cc) and other significant modifications signalled by the ‘M’ in the name, (‘M’ standing for Modificata). On top of its extra power – 515hp versus the 550’s 485hp – it had drilled and ventilated brakes with more servo assistance, different front to back weight distribution, better aerodynamics (mainly achieved by changes to the underbody) and electronically controlled adaptive suspension, along with a revised and improved interior.

During the four-year production run (2002-2006) a total of just over 2,000 575M’s were produced, for worldwide consumption.

The example, we are now pleased to offer, was first supplied by Maranello Sales, Official Ferrari dealer in Egham, Surrey in July 2002, finished in Grigio Titanio over Bordeaux hides with optional desirable ‘Fiorano’ Handling Pack along with satellite navigation and Scuderia Ferrari wing mounted shields.
Having recorded just 6,400 miles from new, in the hands of its 3 owners, this car presents in outstanding condition throughout, the exterior being unmarked and the interior unblemished.

Servicing has been carried out by Ferrari main agents and highly respected marque specialists, including its last, major, service by Bob Houghton in August 2022, less than 1,200 miles ago, at which time cambelts and auxiliary belts were changed, along with an interior ‘sticky switch’ refurbishment. A recent ‘Vehicle Health Check’ by Ferrari confirms the car to be fault free, ‘on the button’ and ready to be enjoyed, supplied with 12 months MOT.

The car is accompanied by its original owner’s manual, tool kit, spare keys, Ferrari battery trickle-charger, and book packs including the service book.

Available for viewing and demonstration at our Hertfordshire showrooms.

2017 ASTON MARTIN V12 VANTAGE S SPORT PLUS-PACK – MANUAL

We are delighted to offer to market this superbly specified, low mileage V12 Vantage S Manual, uniquely finished in (Q Special) Storm Black over Obsidian Black hide and Pure Black alcantara interior.

“It’s fantastic. It’s wonderful, wonderful, wonderful” said no other than Jeremy Clarkson, when summarising the original V12 Vantage model, in one of the most emotive motoring videos ever produced, for Top Gear, shortly after the model’s launch, in 2009.

Over the next 9 years, the V12 Vantage went on to be one of the most successful and respected Aston Martin models, appealing to existing customers of the marque and to a new and enthusiastic sports car audience. Following various improvements and model year specification changes, production of the V12 Vantage ceased in 2018, by which time the S specification model was introduced (in 2013) with the 563 bhp engine, mated to either a Sportshift III or 7-speed manual gearbox.

It is one of those ‘last of the line’ 2017 model year, 7-speed manual V12 Vantage S that we are delighted to offer. One of just 113 right-hand drive 7-speed manuals (100 UK specified and supplied) and interestingly, the only UK RHD example finished in this exterior colour, making it a ‘one of one’!

This Sport Plus-Pack (+ 5 BHP/ + 10Nm, Graphite silver Lightweight wheels, Alcantara dashboard and Alcantara Duotone interior) example is finished in Storm Black over Obsidian Black leather and Pure Black alcantara, with Spicy Red contrasting stitching and Spicy Red leather inner seat stripe, Obsidian Black carpets and an Obsidian Black alcantara steering wheel. The livery is completed by numerous (Q by Aston Martin) Red satin carbon fibre components; hood louvres, rear diffuser, side strakes, engine cover, front splitter and front grille surround. An eye catching and truly unique specification!

In addition to the usual high specifications of the V12 Vantage S model, notable optional extras chosen by the original purchaser include; Aston Martin 700w Premium Audio, Black hood meshes, Red brake calipers, Black textured tailpipe finishers, Piano Black fascia trim and Piano Black interior trim pack, V12 side fender badges, front grille carbon, Caron fibre gear shift surround, Reversing camera, Carbon fibre Lightweight seats and Black side window finishers.

Fittingly finished in Stirling Green / Lime Green Halo colour scheme over Pure Black Alcantara with Copper Tan and accents, we are delighted to offer this superb V12 Vantage AMR.

Launched in June 2017, the V12 Vantage AMR (Aston Martin Racing) was conceived and produced in celebration of the Aston Martin’s racing success, in particularly with their win at the Le Mans 24 hrs that year. Equipped with the last and most powerful variant of the sonorous and naturally aspirated 6.0 litre V12 engine, no longer built. The Vantage AMR V12 engine, rated at 595 bhp and mated to a 7-speed manual transaxle transmission, is a highly fitting tribute to its endurance racing counterpart, giving extreme levels of performance whilst affording high levels of comfort.

Just 31 V12 Vantage AMR 7-speed manuals were manufactured in Right Hand Drive, with only 19 for the UK market from a total of 75 cars built before production ceased. In addition to the 2018 model year specifications, notable optional extras specified with this example include the lightweight carbon fibre seats, lightweight gloss black wheels, Carbon interior pack, Lime Green colour coded brake calipers and distinctive halo package.

Having covered just 5,900 miles from new, our pre-sale inspection confirms this car to be in superb condition throughout, fully protected with Topaz PPF.

Supplied to its next custodian with its scheduled service, pre delivery preparation and detailing, 12 months MOT and 12 months warranty.

The combined attributes of naturally aspirated, highly audible, smooth and visceral sportscars with manual transmissions, are now becoming a ‘thing of the past’, as the industry marches to a turbo, hybrid and electric future. The V12 Vantage AMR is a modern classic in every sense, a homage to racing glory and extremely rare. In exceptional condition and with low mileage, this superb ‘last of a type’ supercar is highly recommended to the new era collector or enthusiast alike.

2017 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE GT8

We are delighted to offer this discreetly specified, ultra-low mileage, ‘as new’ example of Aston Martin’s race inspired sportscar, the limited-edition Vantage GT8.

Inspired and influenced by the V8 Vantage GTE race car, the GT8 was the lightest and most powerful V8 Vantage ever, when launched in April 2016. In addition to the dramatically sculpted, wide bodied carbon fibre bodywork and revised performance orientated chassis, the 4.7 litre V8 engine was upgraded to produce 440bhp. The GT8 was available with either the 6-speed manual or Sportshift III gearbox. This combined with the dramatic weight saving of up to 100 kg (depending upon options chosen), the Vantage GT8 boasted some very impressive performance numbers including 4.4sec 0-62mph and a top speed of 190mph.

Limited to just 150 cars worldwide, predictably all had sold out shortly after being announced in 2016. Just 80 were built for the UK RHD market, 68 of which were 6-speed manual specification.

Much admired by motoring journalists and road testers alike, the profile of this model was further cemented by Aston Martin securing class victory at the gruelling Nurburgring 24 Hours in 2017 in a ‘close to production’ specification Vantage GT8.

The GT8 we are now very excited to offer, is finished in the simple, restrained livery of Scintilla Silver with no ‘Halo’ Pack. The lightweight interior combines luxury fitments and creature comforts with carbon fibre and Pure Black Alcantara. Using data supplied by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust register, we can confirm that just 2 GT8’s were finished in Scintilla Silver, the other of which having Red accents and Chancellor Red stitching, therefore making this example a unique, ‘One of One’.

This manual transmission example was first registered in January 2017. Notable optional extras include: Gloss Carbon aero pack, Exposed Carbon Fibre lower, rear and side valances, Red brake calipers, Stainless Steel Exhaust system, Full length Twill Carbon fascia trim, Vantage GT8 logo headrest embroidery, Front grille carbon, Reversing Camera, Vantage GT8 decklid badge, Lightweight Carbon Fibre Manual seats and 7 spoke Satin Black wheels.

1999 ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE V550

Finished in arguably the most popular colour for the model, Antrim Blue over Parchment hide interior, piped Pacific Blue over Blue carpets, we are pleased to offer this superb quality Vantage V550.

A quintessential ‘Brute in a Suit’, the 1993-2000 Aston Martin V8 Vantage V550 was the last model produced entirely by hand at the Newport Pagnell factory, with a mere 239 examples being built before the factory being closed and remodelled, for Vanquish production.

The V550 standard specification includes 8-way electric seating, climate control, ABS braking and drivers air bag safety features. Delivering 550 bhp the 5.3 litre twin supercharged engine drives a 6-speed manual gearbox and gives the car a 0-60 time of 4.6 sec’s and a top speed of 186 mph. Performance numbers that are impressive today, let alone over 25 years ago! All, whilst enjoying a sumptuous and generous 2+2 cabin trimmed in finest quality Connolly hides, Wilton Wool carpeting and highly polished burr walnut finishers.

This ‘reference’ example we are now pleased to offer, was built and delivered by Aston Martin Mayfair in April 1999, being within the last 10 cars to have been built and incorporating late build refinements including improved door mirrors, door handles, exhaust and cooling systems.

Boasting a superb service record with Aston Martin agents and ourselves, in total the car has received 26 services in its 25 year life!

2004 ASTON MARTIN DB AR1 #001 of 099 – LHD

A fantastic, unrepeatable opportunity for any collector or enthusiast of the Aston Martin marque, this DB AR1, car 001 of just 99 produced, finished in the iconic colour of Aston Green over soft white hides and in immaculate condition, as befits just 939 miles from new.

Rekindling the long-standing association between the marque and Zagato of Milan, in 2003, Aston Martin unveiled the DB7 Zagato. This very special coupe was built as a strictly limited production run of only 99 cars, all of which were quickly sold. Due to homologation problems, the DB7 Zagato was not offered to the US market. To satisfy the demand created by the coupe a special ‘roadster’ version was styled by Zagato, using the standard DB7 Volante chassis to overcome type approval issues. Called the ‘DB American Roadster 1’ (DB AR1) the open model was built after the coupe and in fact final assembly was completed at the new Gaydon plant alongside the first DB9’s.

Again, just 99 cars were built, cementing the model as one of the marque’s rarest and most unique models. With distinctive coachwork, the DB AR1 was conceived for American market, however a very small number were supplied to the European market.

The DB AR1 used the standard 6.0 litre V12 from DB7 Vantage with Touchtronic transmission, capable of powering the car to 184 mph. Styling was very similar to DB7 Zagato with the same large grille and twin cowls behind the front seats tapering into the trunk lid, echoing the design cues of the ‘double bubble’ roof design from the coupe. Designed with a sunnier climate in mind, the DB AR1 had no roof or hood covering at all – just a simple rain cover to protect the leather interior when parked.

The example we are now delighted to offer, is particularly special, being number 001 of the 99 produced. First supplied new to the USA, via Aston Martin Agents in Dallas, Texas, in 2004, this car was imported to the UK in 2014, where it resides today. Enthusiast owned whilst in the UK and proudly entered into previous AMOC Concours Events.

Finished in Aston Green over Soft White hides, the car is complete with its tailored indoor car cover, battery conditioner, original DB AR1 book (signed by Carroll Shelby), leather bound history file, roof cover and two Aston Martin umbrellas. A model relevant cherished number plate also accompanies the car.

Offered in immaculate condition, having covered a mere 939 miles from new, this rare and beautiful car is ready to be enjoyed on the open road, or to grace any collection.

Available now at our Hertfordshire showrooms.

We are delighted to offer this sensational 2017 Vanquish Zagato, finished in Escaping White over Pure Black and Pearl White hides and presented in ‘as new’ condition, as befits the mileage of just 1,800 miles from new.

Unveiled to great acclaim at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in May 2016, the Vanquish Zagato was the then latest creation from the long-standing partnership with the Italian design-house, Zagato. A strictly limited production run of 99 cars, for worldwide production, were built at Aston Martin’s production facility in Gaydon, England with just 32 for the UK RHD market.

The Vanquish Zagato was based upon Aston Martin’s highly successful Vanquish model that utilised their VH chassis architecture, mated with a 6.0litre V12 engine, in this model tuned to produce 595bhp, capable of propelling the car to a 0-60mph time of 3.5sec. Bodied entirely in Carbon Fibre, the Vanquish Zagato incorporates many of the design houses signature styling cues such as the ‘double bubble’ roof and large front grille, built with the exquisite ‘Z’ pattern. At the rear, the bladed LED lights provide a futuristic look.

Not only sublime to look at, the Vanquish Zagato is a real thrill to drive, courtesy of; the most powerful engine available, the lighter weight, as a result of the extensive use of carbon fibre, the 8-speed Touchtronic III ZF gearbox and incredible stopping power from its Carbon Ceramic brakes.

This particular example, #39 of 99, is specified with numerous optional extras including; dark anodised brake calipers, black textured tailpipe finishers, full length herringbone fascia trim, polished aluminium fuel filler cap, auto dimming rear view mirror, warm charcoal seatbelts, ventilated front seats, One77 steering wheel, carbon fibre side strakes, 15 spoke Zagato Satin Black diamond turned wheels and black side window finishers.

Benefitting from annual servicing, to schedule, at Aston Martin Main agents, this car is in immaculate, as new condition throughout, protected by full car PPF and is supplied with all keys and owner’s manual, original umbrella and bespoke Aston Martin car cover.

When considering an original purchase price of circa £550,000 and given the depreciation curves followed by previous limited edition Zagato Aston Martin models, this car now represents superb value for what is likely to become a highly collectible and sought-after model, produced at the very end of the successful 1st generation of production at the Gaydon factory, before the introduction of the 2nd century Aston Martins.
