From the reg, it was first sold from AM Bristol, it is an early manual 7 speed V12 Vantage S, and first in UK Roadster manual V12VS in Skyfall. Seems to of moved to Essex later in life. Will still be under warranty.

Doubt it is Bristol because it’s reg would start with W, more likely to be Hampshire - perhaps Harwoods?

Strange, the only Skyfall Roadster registered in October 2016 was at Bristol. Later seen at JCT Brooklands and Grange Brentwood. Perhaps it had a private plate at first registration?

As I understand it if a private plate is on the car at first registration then when a “year” plate is put on it it gets a plate from the location it is first registered. That’s what’s happened with mine in the past. The best example being a Mercedes bought in South Wales having a CA plate put on it when I took my registration off. I live in the SW. Strange??

My apologies it’s not the car I thought it was! My fault for misreading the reg. That would explain it!!
Its the one at Nottingham, in which case it’s SS3 not manual with lightweight seats. Midlands based most of its life apart from being registered at Harwoods.
