Hi all - just a heads up that in January I’ll be putting my Rapide S up for sale - it’s been 2 nearly 3 years of delightful ownership but time to switch.

I have a service and mot in Jan plus new rear tyres going on so want that done first, then will put up for sale.

25k miles, I’m I think second owner from new might be third need to double check.

Full Aston service history and will also come with the umbrella in the back and both inside and outside covers.

More details nearer the time but really just a heads up as not many buyers for these nor many around in this final spec with the high output v12 and sports pack so sooner word gets out the better really as I’m expecting to take a few months to shift.

Interestingly it’s in a beautiful shade of Q scintilla silver which give a lovely bronze fleck in the right light

More than welcome to - I am in Gloucestershire.

I’ll ping on here in new year as just organising the service with AM Bristol and new tyres around my schedule (busy busy!)

SH is full AM, always garaged and is a fourth car so gets cosseted alongside a bike collection so probably pampered a bit more than most Rapides outside of an AMR 😂

Booked in for Service, MOT and two new rear tyres on Monday 19th at AM dealer.

Let me know if still interested, I’m going to get some professional photos done either weekend before or after service.

Looks like I'm taking the dip into Aston ownership with your fine specimen. Would love a chat to find out more about it and anything I should know. Drop me a pm so I can reply. Thanks. Dan

Hi it doesn't let me "DM" you so not sure how that works - it can allow an email but it says you're profile isn't allowing emails either.

It's a lovely motor, happy to give you some history on it - nothing major to be concerned about that's for sure.... she's a beaut

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. I've changed my settings so maybe you could try emailing me now?

Yeah would be great to know some details and anything I should watch out for or that you can think of to help.

I'm very excited but also apprehensive as it's my first expensive car.
