Hi Aston owners, I am wondering if anyone on this forum knows of the whereabouts of this ex Aston Bristol demonstrator? Its a Vanquish S, and was on a few youtube videos I have been watching.

I am the proud owner of a 911 turbo, and am seriously considering a move into a 2+2 Vanquish (have small children so this should be similar in back tot he 911?) I know it s a long shot, but the spec of this car is perfect for what I am looking for, nothing else I have seen comes close in my opinion.

If anyone knows of the car, or the owner and it may possibly be for sale now, or in the future please let me know.

Thanks, Neil.

Not sure on where it found a new home, but IIRC, the spec was:

Skyfall Silver, Obsidan Black leather, spicy red welt, silver stitching, red calipers, standard grille, black pack including side strakes, carbon fibre centre console.

I've seen relatively few Vanquish S in Skyfall Silver, they tend to be early 8 speed cars. The S tended to be specced predominantly in Magnetic Silver, Xenon Grey - the darker hues. If that particular car doesn't appear, I wouldn't worry - keep browsing the timeless site and one in a similar, if not identical spec will appear soon enough. Alternatively, there's some mutts nuts spec Vanquish S Ultimate examples dotted around (which Ultimate tax to go with them).

You'll probably find the 911 has slightly more rear legroom - but a child's comfort isn't as important as a V12 exhaust note...

Hi,
This car was most recently spotted (at least by me) on a Youtube video a few days ago (entitled “Ferrari 458 crashed into a Ferrari 812 Superfast...”). You’ll see it at 58 seconds, passIng the scene... and sounding glorious! I noticed it principally because the plate looked similar to the car in the Love Cars / Seen through glass collaboration that I had not long ago watched. It was indeed the same car. I can’t help further, but just flagging it, in case you wanted to see it again!

This is my first post, so I hope I have not broken any site rules on promoting YouTube or anything like that. I am, fingers crossed, making my first foray into the Aston Ownership experience this weekend, in the shape of an Onyx Black, Vanquish S Volante (after a very long wait - one for another day!)

Hopefully, I’ll be around for a while, so pleased to come aboard - so to speak!.
