Aston Martin Rapide 2012 V12 4dr Touchtronic Auto

Insurance Group 0, 2 Previous Owners, Partial Service History, This car has a story to tell... but due to GDPR we only know part of the story....JVS bought the car as a 'nonrunner' in 2024, and discovered that the car had been through some water when storms hit Ireland in October 2023. It is not recorded as an insurance category vehicle and is clean. The engine had suffered a hydrolock on the nearside bank and it had broken 2 conrods and two others that were bent. There was no other damage. So, we rebuilt the engine with 6 new conrods and took the opportunity to fix a few other issues at the same time. The clutch spring plate was worn so we changed that, we also changed all the spark plugs and ignition coils and had all of the injectors cleaned. We deleted the primary cats and checked all the valves. We also replaced the front door struts, gave it a new battery and checked all electrics. Externally, the car isn't perfect. We have refurbished the alloys wheels but there are a couple of issues that remain. The driver's door has a dent where it looks like the door has been opened onto a post and there are a couple of stone chips on the bonnet. The interior is clean but not 100% perfect the centre console has a couple of scratches on it (nothing major, but I can see them...). The glass key is missing a couple of buttons and the insert, where the key goes also needs a minor repair. The good thing is that the car goes very well the gear changes are smooth (we replaced the gearbox oil) and she sounds absolutely amazing. The spec on the car is good it has the rear seat entertainment package, B&O sound system, navigation, 4zone heating and there are no lights on the dash. There is no history with the car and only one key. We have tried to trace the car's owner to try and recover the service book and the spare key but ultimately this hasn't brought any luck. Maybe as a new owner you'll have better luck that us. We do know where it was previously serviced in Ireland and we do know that they know who the previous owner was... but they won't tell us... Anyway, the car is being sold as it stands and we've priced it up to sell. Great car, a whole load of fun to drive and a genuine 4seater this car attracts attention wherever it goes. Currently SORN and the owner (me) is seeing if it will sell in February. If not, I'll probably keep it. Come and have a look and see if this appreciating future classic is the one for you. This car will be sold with a fresh MoT and will be serviced prior to the sale.
