early V8 Vantage S owners manual wanted
Discussion
I'm hoping someone on here can advise....
Does the early V8 Vantage S actually have its own 'Vantage S' owners manual? The book that came with my 2011 V8VS just has 'Vantage' embossed into the leather and is the book for the standard 2009-2012 4.7. I've never seen an early V8 'Vantage S' owners manual. I've googled and searched ebay a few times and never seen one. I can see there is one for the 2015-on cars with the updated haptic interior, the pages of that one are downloadable, and are clearly for the later 2015 on V8VS. Interestingly, the leather cover for that one doesn't even have the word 'Vantage' embossed onto the cover.
So to summarise, I've found manuals for 2005-2012 V8V (leather bound, Vantage embossed in leather), and 2015-2018 V8VS (leather bound, nothing embossed in leather), but no book for the 2011-2014 V8VS. I've been trying to find a Vantage S manual for my car for some years without success - maybe they just don't exist? Can anyone with an early V8VS advise?
Thanks

Have a look at the Aston Martin App, if a specific owners manual is available you should be able to download it from there.
Edit. Looks like you’ve already had a look on line as you’ve mentioned downloads above.
I downloaded a full user manual after seeing this thread, but mines not an S.

Thanks, though yes I have looked at the downloads. It seems the S started to be referenced the 2010.25 MY V8V owners manual which about halfway through starts to make reference to the S when talking about comfort buttons/sport buttons, then has S sections in the specifications.
It looks like updating the photos/pictures/graphics in the standard manual, or developing a standalone version when the S was being developed in 2010 just wasn't a high priority, and it seems there is no such thing as a separate V8 Vantage S manual, as there is for V12V and V12VS - Unless someone can correct me?
