An Aston Martin bought by Hollywood heartthrob, Hugh Grant, is going under the hammer.

The Paddington actor, 63, bought the flash sports car after he made the Noughties rom-com, About a Boy.

His co-star Nicholas Hoult, who played young Marcus in the film, is a car enthusiast and reportedly advised Hugh on what vehicle he should buy.
The British actor, from Hammersmith, took his advice and ordered a brand-spanking new Aston Martin Vanquish.
Originally registered with Hugh’s iconic ‘APE V12’ number plate, the motor is finished in sleek Solway Grey with an elegant charcoal interior and comes with a built-in phone system, sat nav, stereo system with CD player, air conditioning and tracker.
The 12-year-old vehicle has just 39,300 miles on the clock and is heading to auction on 7 September in Chichester, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
A spokesperson from Bonhams Cars, who is hosting the auction, said: “Hugh Grant’s name appears in the owner’s guide and service book, the latter boasting 13 stamps from Aston Martin main dealers.
“Since its acquisition in April 2022, the Vanquish has covered fewer than 1,000 miles and been stored under cover.”
