Mk1 V12 Vanquish S bits
Discussion
I'm starting to get to the tiny details with the 2006 V12 Vanquish S work. The main thing is that it's in mechanically excellent order. But there are a few things I'm considering... even though I've getting to the point of diminishing (emotional) return 
EDIT: I SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND THAT THE GLOVE BOX ITEMS WERE DELETED WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE VANQUISH S...
I asked Steve Waddingham about what's also meant to be in the glovebox. Unsurprisingly, after so many years, these items go missing, but Steve sent me this photo. Does anybody know if these bits are still available? Ie. has anybody got a set they are selling?

Finally, the sill plates are not perfect. At one point, both sides were badly scratched in the name of a DIY restoration job. I don't think they can be recovered. Tony Hall can't make these as they are thicker metal, and I can only see these as-new from Nicholas Mee: https://www.astonstore.co.uk/product/sill-plate-as...

I don't necessarily need new, but if anybody knows where else to source these from for a more reasonable price, I'd be interested.

You may want to give David Such a call to discuss this. His company v12Vanquish.com is set up purely to look after the Vanquish and he travels the country doing work on them. He was the AMOC area 1 representative for over 20 years. I'm sure he will be able to advise.
