The interior is certainly, unique, to say the least...





On sale at Stratstone for just over £120k. Video here: https://youtu.be/e2tkjYWRfwk

I've seen this before some months back - hard to forget! Don't know if someone bought it and couldn't stand the interior or its been on sale all this time.

Interesting to know the history of this one and who originally specced it..

A change of steering wheel would surely attract a few more buyers.

For some reason totally unknown to me - the stratstone group insist on recording a video then capturing stills from the video, rather than taking actual pictures of anything. EVERY car listed against stratstones has the same problem - and until you see the car in the flesh, it's hard to really gauge how it is.

There's no doubt this is a st colour. But is the picture an accurate representation of a st colour wink

Yeah you think Stratstone would've done this? Relatively speaking it can't be too expensive?

The steering wheel is clearly a step too far for the vast majority of people. Although even those seats would need a proper viewing...

Agreed completely. Why do Stratstone always do this?? Such poor quality compared to their competitors...

Really small market for this one.

The buyer will probably be a wealthy husband married to a wife who's obsessed with everything pink, you know the type, you sometimes see pink cars with girly girls in them. I saw a new pink volkswagan beetle with a woman wearing pink cloths with a pink flower in the dashboard, that type of woman.

Problem is you need one of them who want's a really fast car with lots of money.....

Exactly, I don't know why Stratstone do it - every colour looks totally wrong.

Stratstone's Volcano Red Vantage:



How it looks to the rest of the world when properly represented:

The price for the Vanquish is down. It's now £118,956. Surely it would've been cheaper for Stratstone to have just replaced the steering wheel... But hey could be a bargain for someone... wink

Do ALL stratstone branches use the same crappy, colour inaccurate cameras to record their videos??

Like they just pass their one camera around... biggrin

Its a shame to do such a poor job on expensive cars. That Stratstone pic is in daylight so there are no mixed light sources to deal with and so it should be pretty straightforward. Pic doesnt have a blue or yellow general cast so the auto white balance seems to be have coped. So I conclude its a camera with a poorly factory calibrated colorimetry or an intrinsically flawed colour rendition capability. I.e cheap shiiite!

I've generated a lot of interest when selling previous cars by taking nice pics of them in nice locations so it is worth the effort, but appreciate the volume dealers have to cope with.
