2011 VOLKSWAGEN PHAETON

The Phaeton was an ambitious project for Volkswagen. Rather than simply producing a luxury car with a prestigious badge, Volkswagen engineered the Phaeton as a genuine flagship, with an obsessive focus on refinement, build quality, high-speed stability and comfort.

The V6 TDI is arguably one of the most usable powertrains for the car today, offering strong, effortless torque and impressive cruising ability while retaining considerably better economy than the larger petrol engines. It makes the Phaeton an exceptionally capable long distance car quiet, composed and remarkably relaxing to drive.

There is also something particularly appealing about the Phaeton today. At a time when luxury cars have become increasingly conspicuous, the Phaeton remains discreet and understated. To the uninitiated it may look like a large Volkswagen; to those who know what it is, the engineering beneath the surface makes it a fascinating modern classic.

This 2011 Phaeton V6 TDI is a particularly appealing example, having had just two owners from new, with the current owner acquiring the car four years ago. Importantly, it has been part of a modern classic car collection and kept in our professional storage throughout the current ownership, rather than being used as an everyday vehicle. It also boasts a fantastic specification which is also very unique highlighting the two optional items. One being the Mocha exterior colour which catches light brilliantly and the other is the factory piano black interior trim giving a superior feeling of luxury in the cabin.

Adding considerably to its provenance is its full main dealer service history, providing an unusually comprehensive record of how the car has been maintained throughout its life with each service done at the following intervals:

Beadles VW Maidstone - 11/01/13 - 13,839 miles

M J Warner VW - 30/11/15 - 23,164 miles

M J Warner VW - 29/11/17 - 34,039 miles

M J Warner VW - 12/12/19 - 40,906 miles

M J Warner VW - 31/05/22 - 48,380 miles

The combination of two owner provenance, full main dealer history and four years of careful collection storage makes this a particularly interesting Phaeton for the enthusiast or collector looking for one of Volkswagen's most ambitious and technically accomplished cars.
