I am struggling with how awful and cheap the indicator stalk on my 2016 V12 Vantage S is. Are their any turned aluminium available out there?

Must admit that's the only tactile point of the car that falls down a little. Probably sourced from an early 2000's Ford empire vehicle at the time (Ford, Jag, Volvo?).

However, to counter that, the budget to develop those stalks probably equalled the entire chassis at AM, 90% of that cost going on cost reduction

Alternatives would be an interesting proposition.

Would seem so, checking with Companies House. Not as obvious from her dead news web page.

Bamford Rose and Nicholas Mee appear to be the distributors in the UK: http://sarahmaynard.com/distributors

Mine came with SM knob enhancements which do lift the tone of the interior. Check with Bamford Rose if they are still available.

Bad news. Mike from BamfordRose came back very quickly with the following:

---

Sarah is not supplying those parts any longer so unfortunately no, we can't supply.

Ah well...

I think I read some review that suggested the DB11 had much nicer indicator stalks. If that's the case, I wonder if they can be purchased and fitted to older AMs?
