Spotted: Vanquish

Lurking at the Lotus Parts Fair

have they started producing the Vanquish yet then? I could be wrong but I'm sure I saw an identical one on the M25 (Heathrow) section yesterday lunchtime - it looked very wide and very pumped up.....

yeah, I posted earlier on somewhere that I'd seen one on the M11 at Cambridge heading sarf...georgeous sound and looks the biz, mind you for the price you could buy a large part of Wales....(that was a joke btw)

Saw one (with no plates) the other week in Alderley Edge, Cheshire. Didn't grab my attention as other motors do. Still think its pretty cool though.

On Saturday night parked up in Alderley in a row was a 550, a DB7 and a Bentley Arnage. (A keying, vandal scum's fantasy!)

PS I'm sure you could buy the whole of Wales for less than 150 grand.

Sounds like a car magazine group test to me.

Possibly, but it is also a very affluent area.

The Wilmslow triangle - Prestbury, Alderley Edge, Wilsmlow. Average first car for daughter #1 is a 330ci!

There's a good number of footballers living in the area as well - so they might have been out for a team dinner.

Spotted a Vanquish on the M25 in the speed camera section. Not the "Y" plate, but a "51" instead. Looked to be an owner too as he had a suit on and was on a mobile phone - cant be a journo, they dont wear suits...

Cheers,

Paul

Reason for Lotus Parts presence being that they manufacture the carbon fibre front and rear for the Vanquish at Hethel! If I was more technical, I could explain why no one has ever produced CF of this quality before... but I'm not, so you'll just have to take my word for it!
