Just looking through the FAQ. There is a section listing what should come with the car. Is this accurate? For any AM?

Items that should be accompanying the car:

key fobs x 2 also aluminium case spare key fob comes in
owner's manual
radio manual
mobile phone manual (if mobile phone fitted)
umbrella
First aid kit
Owners Manual inc Service Schedule
Quick Reference Guide
Spare Bulb Kit
Carpet mat for the boot
Towing Eye
Tyre inflator kit x 2 (Hoults)
Fire Extinguisher
Notepad
Maglite Glovebox Torch
Lamy Pen
Leatherman Sideclip multitool
Tyre pressure gauge
Car cover (was an extra)
Battery Conditioner
Radio code card usually with the owners manual
SatNav CD
CD Autochanger Magazine

No. Nothing like in my experience. For a start, none of the Gaydon cars have a CD autochanger magazine. I'd say this was nearer for a gaydon car

key fobs x 2
owner's manual which includes radio and phone and service
umbrella (only if optioned)
First aid kit
Towing Eye
Tyre inflator kit with built in pressure guage and can of gunk
Lamy Pen in the dash
SatNav CD unless the hard disk based version

I think the first aid kit is also optional now

Maybe although I thought that was a legal thing

It was an option on our 2015 car. I love the fact the first aid kit comes with a use by date smile

Not in the UK, only if driving in mainland Europe I believe.

Wrong list of items. That's the list for the Vanquish Mk 1, not the one for Gaydon cars.

Check the advert.....and ensure you get everything on that list...if the list says 2. Glass keys....insist on them...at the dealers expense if there is only one.....same with battery conditioner and tyre kit.....umbrella etc....if it's on the advertisers list...they have to supply.....otherwise can be classed as false advertising.....

Yes I received all that with mine even though I was the third owner. The later Vanquish S did not have as many items.
