2001 VANQUISH S VALUE?
Discussion
If its been off the road for a few years and has gearbox problems then without an inspection - avoid!
Gearbox may be something as 'simple' as the early sensors being upgraded to the later version. But even thats a gearbox out job and must be done by a trained specialist.
Could need a complete new gearbox.
Is the front subframe corroding?
If you are not familiar with the Vanquish, its easy to spot an S as the front brake calipers are in front of tha axle. Non S ones are behind the axle.
Unless its a non S with the Sports Dynamic Pack upgrade!
First S was not available until 2005.

2001 will be one of the first V12 Vanquish cars. I would be cautious of an early car without any issues; one with is a no-go. It may depend on what it is being offered for. I suspect a figure with more than three digits though, so I would walk. If someone is badging a 2001 car as a Vanquish S, I would also run.
Visible difference between a V12 Vanquish and Vanquish S are different grille, wheels, front splitter, rear boot lid, different levels of corrosion, interior (plus brakes - bar SD option as mentioned above).

If you don't buy let me know ill take it for for £10.5k.
The parts alone are worth more!
Tbh I'd just strip it out, have a full racing spec rebuild and track the hell out of it!
A proper heavyweight track vanq! Mental!
Actually...
I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, that was nailed to another barge pole that was being held by an extremely long armed man....
