2006 Aston Martin Vanquish S | Riding Mill, Northumberland

The Vanquish S is the faster, sharper version of the first Aston Martin Vanquish, a front-engined V12 grand tourer with a long bonnet and a low, wide coupé body. It is also known as the car that played James Bond's Aston Martin in Die Another Day. This car is finished in Black with a hand-stitched black leather interior, a deep, even look that gives reflections and highlights plenty to work with. Its 6000cc V12 has a rich, full sound. The manual gearbox is a departure for the model, which normally had an automated manual, so the driver works a clutch pedal. It seats four and is in excellent condition. The low stance and the Bond connection suit film and TV, advertising and music video work. The black paintwork and leather give fashion and editorial photography a sleek backdrop, and on a stand at a launch or motoring event the car holds attention. It also makes a distinguished arrival for a wedding or milestone celebration. The car is based in Riding Mill, Northumberland.
