Aston Martin Works is celebrating its 60th Anniversary with the commissioning of six limited edition models. These models are versions of the current Vanquish GT in either Coupe or Volante guise, and are created by the marque's Gaydon-based design team and its personalisation service - Q by Aston Martin.

A number of elements distinguish the Anniversary cars including trim and paint colour treatments. The most emotive part, however, lies in a small detail - bespoke rotaries around the major controls in the centre console of each car.
The rotary knobs have been cast from metal that, previously, had formed a piston in an Aston Martin engine of the relevant period. These rotaries are then carefully laser etched with Works' Anniversary wording.
The six pistons have been drawn from engines found in the DB 2/4 Mk II saloon (1955-1965), DB5 (1965-1975), V8 Coupe (1975-1985), V8 Vantage X-pack (1985-1995), V8 Vantage supercharged (1995-2005) and the original Vanquish (2005-2015).

Each of the six cars is subtly different and is tailored to reflect one of the six decades being celebrated. The result is a collection of rare and desirable sports cars that will be instantly recognisable as 'Works 60th Anniversary' models.
