2014 ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH

There are supercars, and then there's this supercar. A genuine British icon. The stance, shape and presence are unbeatable and have to be seen in the flesh.

This Vanquish Volante is a statement. Hand-built at Gaydon, England, and powered by a naturally-aspirated 6.0-litre V12 producing 565bhp, with that unmistakable Aston soundtrack on tap the moment you want it. Drop the roof and every head in the car park turns — and once you're parked, nothing else there gets a second glance. Everyone thinks they have an awesome car, until this arrives.

Costing over £220,000 when new, this is a lot of car for the money. I love this car and am reluctantly having to part ways with it as I need to release the funds.

It sits at the perfect combination of technological advancement without any annoying driver aids. With this car there are no speed warning, lane departure or collision warning systems. Just you and that 6.0l V12. It cruises on the motorway and is so comfortable you can get out after a 3 hour drive well rested. It’s also pretty cool because everyone just moves out of the way in the motorway 😎

The details:

- 35,803 miles

- Technically called ‘silver’ in reality it’s a dark Graphite Grey colour with a fleck that reflects the sunlight — understated, effortlessly cool

It’s been looked after:

An incredibly reliable car, hasn’t ever let me down. There are no leaks from the roof. It has been garaged when not in use. There are a couple of marks on the alloys (nothing a polish won’t fix) and a few stone chips that you would expect in a car of this age. Everything that needed doing has been done.

If you want the badge everyone recognises, the sound everyone turns for, and the styling that still stops traffic over a decade on — this is it.

And if you haven't worked it out already, I don't really want to sell it.
