About this car
The 2003 Aston Martin Vanquish combines elegant British design with serious performance credentials. Finished in British Racing Green with a Sand interior, this rear-wheel-drive coupe is powered by a 5.9L MPI DOHC 48-valve V12 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. With only 8,506 miles recorded, it delivers the classic grand-tourer experience through its limited-slip differential, speed-sensitive power steering, and front/rear independent double-wishbone suspension with coil springs.
Inside, Connolly leather trims the sport bucket seats that feature tilt side bolsters and adjustable headrests, while quilted Alcantara and Wilton carpet cover the floors. The driver is supported by a leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic steering wheel with paddle shifters, illuminated push-button ignition, power-adjustable seats with lumbar support, and a full center console with armrest. An Alpine audio system with AM/FM stereo, cassette, 6-disc CD changer, and six speakers provides entertainment, complemented by automatic climate control and an electrochromic rearview mirror with reading lights.
Exterior equipment includes 19-inch front and 19-inch rear aluminum wheels shod in Yokohama P255/40ZR19 front and P285/40ZR19 rear tires, body-color power heated mirrors, fog lights, projector-beam halogen headlamps, twin bonnet air vents, and a dual stainless-steel exhaust with chrome tips. Safety and convenience features encompass a 4-wheel anti-lock braking system, traction control, tire-pressure sensing, peripheral anti-theft protection with immobilizer, power windows with one-touch operation, remote keyless entry, and a full-size alloy spare.

The first-generation Aston Martin V12 Vanquish was introduced in 2001 as the company’s flagship grand tourer. Designed by Ian Callum and developed from the 1998 Project Vantage concept, it combined aluminum body panels with a bonded-aluminum and carbon-fiber structure. Its 5.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 produced 460 bhp and drove the rear wheels through a six-speed electrohydraulically operated automated-manual transmission. The Vanquish was offered with either two seats or a 2+2 configuration and appeared as James Bond’s car in the 2002 film Die Another Day.
The Vanquish S arrived in 2004 with 520 bhp, revised aerodynamics, upgraded brakes, firmer suspension and a claimed top speed exceeding 200 mph. Production ended in July 2007 with the final 50 Vanquish S Ultimate Edition cars, marking the end of automobile manufacturing at Aston Martin’s historic Newport Pagnell factory. Aston Martin confirms that 1,489 original Vanquish models were built, while marque production records document 1,086 Vanquish S models, giving a best-supported combined production total of 2,575 cars.
