Description

There are Aston Martin Vanquish S examples that have simply accumulated service records, and then there are cars whose histories demonstrate a sustained effort to keep them properly sorted. This 2006 Vanquish S falls firmly into the latter category.

Showing 42,232 miles today, this example is accompanied by an unusually extensive record of maintenance spanning years of ownership. The documentation illustrates considerably more than routine oil changes and scheduled servicing; it records a continuing program of preventative maintenance, diagnosis, repair, and replacement of age-related components as necessary. Numerous mechanical and electrical concerns that can arise as these cars age have already received attention, making the history of this particular Vanquish S one of its most compelling attributes.

The invoices document substantial work to the car's braking, steering, suspension, cooling, electrical and driveline-related systems over time. Among the work recorded are attention to items including brake components and hydraulics, steering components, suspension links and related hardware, cooling-system servicing, transmission-related diagnosis and repairs, ignition components, batteries and charging-system concerns, oil and fluid leaks, hoses, belts and other ancillary components. The records also show repeated inspections and preventative servicing rather than maintenance being deferred until larger problems developed.

In other words, this is not a car whose appeal rests solely on mileage or cosmetic presentation. A considerable amount of the expensive sorting associated with owning an aging hand-built Aston Martin has already been undertaken during its documented history.

Adding considerably to the experience is a Quicksilver exhaust system. The upgrade suits the character of the Vanquish S particularly well, allowing the naturally aspirated V12 to take a more prominent role in the driving experience without detracting from the grand-touring character of the automobile. The resulting sound is one of our favorite aspects of the car.

Just as impressive is its completeness. The Vanquish S is accompanied by two organized binders, one dedicated to its extensive service and maintenance history and another containing its accompanying literature and accessories. Included are extra keys and key fobs/remotes, an Aston Martin cigarette lighter, tow hook, tire-pressure equipment, battery-related literature, a Vanquish S technical guide, Vanquish S sales brochure, owner's manual, clean Carfax and AutoCheck reports, and additional documentation.

The car further retains its battery charger, factory umbrella in the luggage compartment, first-aid kit, two tire-inflator canisters, and other accompanying equipment. It is the sort of completeness that becomes increasingly difficult to find as these cars change hands over the course of two decades.

Cosmetically, the Aston presents exceptionally well. Paint-meter readings are consistent throughout the body, and the finish presents to an excellent standard. More recently, the car underwent approximately $5,000 in additional cosmetic reconditioning, including a comprehensive top-to-bottom detail together with careful restoration of the leather on the dashboard and rear headrest. The objective was preservation rather than reinvention, addressing the details necessary to bring the presentation in line with the quality of the car's mechanical history.

The result is a Vanquish S that we regard as a particularly compelling turnkey driver's example: extensively documented, exceptionally complete, cosmetically excellent, properly sorted, and ready to be enjoyed.

For a model where condition and maintenance history can matter every bit as much as mileage, the depth of documentation and the sheer amount of thoughtful maintenance performed on this example distinguish it from the typical Vanquish S. It is a car that appears to have been maintained with the intention of keeping it right-not merely keeping it running.

And with its naturally aspirated V12 breathing through the Quicksilver exhaust, it delivers exactly the kind of experience that makes the Vanquish S such a special Aston Martin. Definitely one of the finest examples we have seen or offered!
