Description
Full original Aston Martin Warranty until August 2025 (extended warranty 2,700gbp) * Full main dealer history (Aston Martin Works)* Rare Marron Black with Sandstorm and Bitter Chocolate trim* Original champagne flutes, umbrella and headphones* Four-door, four-seater V12. This beautiful Aston is a UK-made eight-speed model, first registered to Aston Martin itself as a press and marketing demonstrator in March 2015, with two private keepers since. It comes with a full service history from main dealers and was most recently maintained by Aston Martin Works Service last summer, less than 1,400 miles ago. It's an appealing car by its very nature, but is made even more desirable by virtue of its fantastic Marron Black paintwork - a very dark brown that looks black in flat light, but with a chestnut-coloured sparkle to the paint finish. The striking exterior is offset by a colour-coded cabin, with Sandstone leather and Bitter Chocolate trim. It's a lovely thing, presented in fabulous overall condition. PRICE NOT NEGOTIABLE ******************************************* The Appeal Aston Martin revisited a name from its glorious past when it unveiled the Rapide at the 2009 Detroit Motor Show.Built as a rival to the likes of the Porsche Panamera and Maserati Quattroporte, the Rapide used a name previously used on Lagonda models and built in the same spirit - as a four-door luxury saloon with supercar-rivalling performance. It was based on an extended DB9 platform, with Aston Martin's in-house developed 5,935cc V12 engine and digitised 'Touchtronic' automatic transmission, initially as a six-speed model and later a much stronger eight-speed. Originally, it was built at a dedicated plant at the Magna Steyr facility in Graz, Austria and the factory planned to build 2,000 cars per year, but production was relocated to England in 2012 after sales didn't meet production targets.
