If my V12 Vantage gets down the steepest bit of my driveway will I have any problems getting a Gen 2 Vanquish down. Never grounded on the Vantage but I wonder if the Vanquish spoiler is lower. Many thanks

Well…. the Vantage would likely have a lower spoiler/splitter but the overhang will likely be longer on the Vanq. Only one way to find out…..

I have the gen 2 vanquish s which has a larger more protruding front splitter and I have clattered it quite a few times underneath. Not sure about the std car.
Anyway I do have this on the S version which may help

Should have added that the S does appear to be lower than friends vantages as well sticking out a little more. However the std cars don't have the more aggressive splitter so should offer a bit more clearance at the front.

Thanks I could do with the Vantage drawing to compare. Where did you get the Vanquish S one from?

It's a photo from my cars handbook which I took for ferry loading purposes, you know when the guy stands and says yeah it will be fine just before you get that horrible scraping sound so now I just show it and remind them if they're wrong they are paying. They usually come up with an alternative space !

I had the same issue before I brought my Vanquish - my local AM dealer brought a demonstrator round to the house and tried to access my drive.
After much toing and froing the conclusion was it wasn't going to work. Suggest you try a similar strategy...
We ended up relaying the drive and all's good...
