Cinematic Connection: The Vanquish in James Bond's Legacy
The Vanquish gained widespread recognition when it made a notable appearance in 'Die Another Day,' serving as Pierce Brosnan's final film as 007 James Bond. This cinematic connection solidified its status in James Bond history, contributing to its instant recognizability. According to Paul Spires, sales manager at Aston Martin works, the Bond association has a substantial impact on the vehicle's value, much like what it did for the iconic DB5: "Never underestimate the Bond connection. We know what that’s done for DB5 values, and a lot of people who saw the film in 2002 are now in a position to buy their own".

End of an Era: The Vanquish and Vanquish S at Newport Pagnell
Notably, the Vanquish and Vanquish S represent the culmination of an era as the final models produced at the renowned Newport Pagnell factory. A mere 1489 Vanquish units were meticulously handcrafted.
