Aston Martin Vanquish Volante 2015

For many years, we’ve had the pleasure of supporting one of our long-standing clients with finance for a number of vehicles, each one a little more special than the last. But this time, the brief was different. This time, it was about fulfilling a lifelong ambition, owning an Aston Martin Vanquish Volante.

The Vanquish Volante is a dream car for many people. As the flagship convertible grand tourer from Aston Martin, it blends performance, craftsmanship, and exclusivity in a way few cars can match.

Some standout facts about the Vanquish Volante:

• Hand-built British luxury performance convertible
• Naturally aspirated V12 engine (in earlier generations) delivering thrilling power and sound
• 0–60 mph in around 4 seconds depending on model year
• Produced in relatively low numbers compared to mainstream luxury cars

When our client found a superb example, it ticked every box ; specification, history, and condition. There was just one twist, it was being sold privately rather than through a dealership.

Financing a Private Vehicle Purchase — What to Watch For

Buying from a private seller can sometimes create opportunities to find exceptional vehicles — but it also requires additional care and due diligence. Unlike dealer purchases, private sales don’t come with the same built-in protections and processes.

Key things buyers should be aware of include:

• Proof of ownership — confirming the seller is the legal owner and entitled to sell the vehicle
• Outstanding finance checks — ensuring there is no existing finance secured against the car. The finance company will check this before releasing any funds
• Vehicle history verification — accidents, insurance category markers, mileage consistency
• Condition validation — independent inspections are often advisable for high-value cars

Because this was a private purchase, we worked closely with one of our specialist funder who is comfortable supporting private sales, provided enhanced safeguards are in place.

This included:

• Additional signed documentation so all parties clearly understood the transaction
• Verified proof that the vendor was the legal owner
• Supporting ID and address checks
• Clear purchase and payment documentation
• Direct coordination between buyer, seller, and funder

By managing the process end-to-end, we ensured everything was handled smoothly, transparently, and securely.
