Aston Martin’s most expensive production supercar visits Leeds showroom

Over £2m of iconic Aston Martins, including the most expensive new car produced by the company

worth over £1.4m, were on display at JCT600 Brooklands last night (4 December) as part of an event

hosted by the dealership and HSBC.

Believed to be the first time that an Aston Martin One-77 has been in the same showroom as a V12

Zagato and the new Vanquish, more than 100 customers came along to see some of the world’s most

desirable supercars.

“To have one of just a handful of One-77s in the UK here in Leeds is fantastic. Very few people will ever

get a chance to see an example of the $2.2 million car first hand as the majority are likely to end up

abroad or in a museum or private collection,” said David Clapham, JCT600 brand director, specialist

cars.

Launched at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, the award-winning two-door coupe is one of a limited run of

just 77 units produced by Aston Martin.

It was joined in the Leeds showroom by another special edition, the Aston Martin V12 Zagato, an

endurance racing concept made in collaboration with Zagato to celebrate the 50 year partnership of the

two companies.

The latest model to join the Aston Martin line-up, the second-generation Vanquish, a two-door ‘2 plus 2’

seater coupe launched this summer as the flagship of the range, was also on display at the one-off

event.

“To have two of Aston Martin’s rarest models, the One-77 and the V12 Zagato, in the same dealership is

a real thrill for anyone who appreciates these iconic supercars,” said David Clapham. “It’s fantastic to

also be unveiling Aston’s latest model, the Vanquish, which embodies the design and performance for

which Aston Martin is renowned,” he added.

JCT600, which has its head office in Bradford, is a family business which operates 42 dealerships

throughout Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and the North East, selling 21 of the world’s most

respected brands. Located close to the M621 near Elland Road football club, JCT600 Brooklands offers a

range of new and used Aston Martins as well as full servicing facilities and specialist parts.
