I was in AM Newcastle yesterday they had a Grey metallic Vanquish S in stock , I've never seen one up close till yesterday, what a beautiful looking car.

I was a tad shocked at the price though at £230k , I had no clue they were that expensive.

Anyone bought one , if so what's your thoughts ?

I've just finished detailing one and they are awesome. Didn't seem a great deal different to the normal ones, except from the bumpers. I'm sure there more going on underneath. The interior was very impressive, especially the stitched leather roof lining. Same paint issues as every other vanquish. I've even written to Andy palmer via instagram about it and that someone needs a kick up the arse in quality control.

Nope, but I have just bought a Renault Twizy.

True story.

They couldn't afford me mate lol.

If anyone has a vanquish, especially a dark one. Get a torch (sometimes you don't even need one) and have a look under the wing. They will have sanded the paint down, but just left it. Same with the curved bits on the rear 3/4 and where the boot meets the wing.

Yup, absolutely love mine! Had the Vanquish before the S and love it that little that bit more smile not difficult to get the price up to £230k and even higher by adding Q colours and other items such as CF finish and contrasting stiching etc.

Last ever actual Aston Martin with n/a engine should be a keeper, unless they bring out a Vanquish Ultimate... will probably have to get one then!

Very nice Mark.
Made me think again about putting a black grill and wheels on my car.
I took the plunge this afternoon.
So blooming hot...nipped down to the local pool.

Black wheels and black grille on a black car?? Don't do it Steven, DB9V should be a classy affair, unless you're going to start hanging around McDonald's car parks at midnight then leave it alone, it's just right as it is.
