Aston martin Vanquish "Manual"

The Aston Martin Vanquish is so quintessentially British that one might expect the windscreen washers to spray tea. It is the ultimate “brute in a suit” — the car that reminded the world that a V12 symphony will always outclass any pop album ever recorded. As the gentlemen of Top Gear once declared, this was the car that put Aston Martin firmly back on the map. A masterful composition of aluminium and leather, capable of travelling faster than gossip in an English village.

This is not mere transportation; it is a mechanical fist in a velvet glove.

This particular 2004 example (VIN: SCFAC233348501425) represents the Holy Grail for the true purist. In 2008, specialists from Aston Martin Works Service were flown from England to the United States to perform an official factory manual gearbox conversion on site. No outdated paddle-shift compromise, but a proper, full-blooded six-speed manual transformation. The conversion included an uprated clutch, a shorter 4.3:1 hypoid differential, and a switchable sports exhaust system. At the time, the total investment exceeded £45,817 — a serious commitment to mechanical perfection.

With just 26,527 miles from new and a sun-soaked Californian history, this V12 example presents in exceptional condition. The car is fully documented, with accompanying invoices detailing its history and conversion. Beyond its formidable performance credentials, it also benefits from a high-quality audio and visual upgrade featuring a touchscreen interface and navigation system, bringing usability in line with modern expectations.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a factory-converted manual Vanquish that not only delivers an extraordinary driving experience but also represents a highly compelling collector’s investment.

Opportunities of this calibre are seldom offered. Let us discuss how we can place this exceptional motor car in your garage.

“You dreamed of it in 2004. Today, we make it reality.”
