2014 Aston Martin Vanquish
About This Example
2014/14 Aston Martin Vanquish in AML Special ‘Storm Black’ over Obsidian Black Hide.
The Vanquish has aged remarkably well over the past decade, exemplifying what we believe to be the pinnacle of Aston Martin design and performance.
This particular model, initially delivered to AM London in May 2014 and originally priced at just under £210,000, has covered less than 20,000 miles. Considering its current market value, it stands out as one of the best value-for-money cars available today.
The Vanquish offers an unparalleled driving experience with its naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering thrilling performance suited to modern roads. Its muscular yet elegant design, featuring all carbon fiber panels, exudes sophistication and strength. Inside, the luxurious cabin is designed for comfortable long-distance GT cruising, enhanced by exceptional handling that doesn’t compromise on practicality. The iconic Aston Martin heritage badge and the incredible Bang & Olufsen sound system with its signature ‘rising tweeters’ add to its allure. This Vanquish truly offers everything you could want in a high-performance luxury car.
This example was meticulously crafted, beginning with its exquisite Special Order Storm Black paint. Unlike standard blacks such as Onyx or Jet, Storm Black is a tri-coat paint that includes genuine pearls and a tinted clear coat with subtle red metallic flakes. These elements catch the light, creating a shimmering effect and adding a dynamic quality to the paint, giving the vehicle a distinct appearance that changes with lighting conditions. The paint perfectly complements the additional features, including black calipers, gloss black 20-inch DT wheels and black enamel wing badges.
The exterior also showcases extensive exposed carbon fibre elements, including the sills, front splitter, rear diffuser, and mirror arms, all as standard features. Additionally, this car boasts the optional gloss carbon fibre roof, further enhancing its sophisticated and sporty appearance. Importantly this car was fitted with front end paint protection film to mitigate the risks of stone chips and road rash.
The cabin is impeccably appointed, with virtually every panel covered in full-grain Luxmil hides. Gracefully bisecting the cockpit is an elegant center stack that is both distinctive and functional, featuring a large pop-up display screen along with controls for the transmission, climate control, and infotainment systems. In keeping with the exterior’s style, the center stack is finished in full-length twill carbon fibre.
Drawing inspiration from the legendary One-77, the Vanquish offers a range of exclusive options, including the steering wheel from the flagship limited edition model—a key feature specified in this example. Additional options include ventilated seats, a reversing camera, contrast stitching, and Homelink connectivity, enhancing both comfort and convenience.
Servicing has been meticulously maintained strictly by main agents since new. For added peace of mind, a fresh service will be conducted by Aston Martin before handover to the new owner.
The vehicle comes complete with its glass key, valet key, fully stamped leather service book, a collection of previous invoices, and an outdoor car cover.
