Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante Tour: Rarity, Carbon Fibre & NA V12 Sound (600hp, 202mph) In this episode of IT in Motorsport Channel Cars, the Daniel Welling meets Ben Spector to tour his Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante and discuss how rare it is, noting the second-generation Vanquish ran from about 2012–2018 and the final Vanquish S batch totalled around 150 cars (roughly 100 coupes and 50 Volantes). Ben shares his ownership experience after eight months, switching from a Bentley Continental GT convertible, and explains he found the car in May 2025 while initially viewing a DB9 Volante. They cover long-distance comfort, Ben’s mileage (11,000 at purchase plus 3,000 added), a 500-mile Peak District trip, and his Four Marks Supercar Club membership.
