With over 324,000 km (202,000 miles) on the clock, this is almost certainly the highest-mileage Vanquish on the road today.

After developing an engine fault in Germany, its Swiss owner entrusted Hutson Engineering Services to not only resolve the issue, but to deliver something truly special, a complete rebuild and bespoke 6.5-litre upgrade, making this the world's first Generation 2 Vanquish fitted with a 6.5L V12 engine.

Follow the full build series on our YouTube channel @AstonEngineBuilders, where we'll take an in-depth look at every stage of this remarkable project.

Alongside a full interior re-trim and comprehensive mechanical inspection, this Aston Martin GT will soon be ready to return to the Autobahn and cover another quarter of a million miles in style!
