Aston Martin Vanquish Centenary Edition

The traditional gift, if someone has the longevity to celebrate a 100th anniversary of… well, anything, really, is a 10-carat diamond. In lieu of that, we’re going to recommend one of these Aston Martin Vanquish Centenary Edition machines. After all, it’s nearly as sparkly as a diamond, and it’s probably a fair bit cheaper than a 10-carat diamond that’s got all four of its C’s in proper order.

The car’s exterior jewelry includes a graduated paint finish and solid sterling silver badges inlaid with enamel. Inside you’ll find Deep Soft Black leather (the same spec as used in the One-77) with contrasting silver stitching, embroidered headrests, and sterling silver sill plaques that are individually numbered (1-100, as only 100 models will be made).

If that’s not enough bling for your bucks, each car also comes with “a unique presentation box containing a number of exclusive gifts to mark the first 100 years of the company,” including “two glass keys, two bespoke key pouches made from leather matching the car’s interior trim, solid silver cufflinks featuring the Aston Martin script, solid silver Rollerball pen and high quality Bang & Olufsen headphones.”

Check out the complete press release below, but not before browsing our high-res image gallery above. Pricing is available by request, and remember, if you miss out on one of these, the automaker will also be offering Centenary Editions of its V8 Vantage, DB9 and Rapide.

Aston Martin Vanquish Centenary Edition

Aston Martin is marking its 100th anniversary with special edition versions of its V8 Vantage, DB9, Rapide and Vanquish. The automaker will only build 100 Centenary Edition versions of each car. The first of those is the Vanquish, which boasts a special graduated paint finish and sterling silver badges with a unique enamel inlay. Indoors, buyers can expect to find the same Deep Soft leather as used in the One-77, complete with contrast silver stitching and sterling silver sill plates bearing the car’s individual number.

Those who pony up the cash for the Centenary models will also receive a box packed full of exclusive “gifts,” including two glass keys, bespoke key pouches, silver cuff links, a silver Rollerball pen and a pair of Bang & Olufsen headphones. There’s a silver polishing cloth in there as well. Near as we can tell, the Centenary Editions will remain mechanically identical to their non-bejeweled counterparts. You can check out the full press release below and take a look at a slew of special models from the company’s first 100 years in the gallery.
