Just agreed a deal on this lovely Ming Blue Vanquish S Volante.

It's a couple of weeks away from delivery but I've already done loaded the manual to read it wink
I have a few questions
Not sure it has Android Auto any one used Aston Installations to add it? Any good?
I want a set of nice floor mats made with the Vanquish logo on them. Can't seem to find any one that does it using Google. Any recommendations?
Any one successfully removed silicon from paint work? Previous owner used it to glue the front plate on frown

Really looking forward to some euro tours in it! smile

Indeed. I have my eyes out for similar, but <£100K. There's a lovely blue coupe for sale, but it's a coupe...

Never seen an S below £100k.
Lowest I've seen this year is £120k for an odd spec.
There's a couple of non S volantes below £100k
Those seem to be rarer than S at the moment!

Congratulations, a lovely car...

With regard to Android Auto, if the car is a 2017 then it will have AMi III fitted, so Android Auto was standard, providing the infotainment has had the firmware updated.

All the info you need is on the link below:

Thanks Adam beer
That's perfect.
I'll have a play once I've prised it from McGurks.

Congrats - Ming blue is a lovely colour.
Car mats UK is quite decent but not sure you can get the correct font Vanquish text depending too on where on the mat you want it.
For my GT8 I ended up getting the AM wings version and then Works dyed the wings the same colour as the interior stitching.

To get rid of the remnants of silicone bathroom sealant, they recommend white spirit. I assume that would be ok on car paint, but I don't know.

Welcome back Mike.
Was it Mclaren that temped you away from AM?

Your Vanquish looks beautiful.
Enjoy.

Hi Jon
A bad Vantage S experience and expensive mistake with BR encouraged me in to a new McLaren.
I'm on my 3rd now and still have the 675LT spider.
That's a keeper and all 3 have been great, despite the internet stories.
I also had a brand new 992 GTS along side the 675 as a GT car.
Biggest POS out of my 64 cars. 11 warranty costs in 18 months. Never buying another Porsche.
So I decided on a V12 to replace the 911.
Aston was the obvious choice smile

Just plug the phone into the left side USB in the centre glove box. Job jobbed.

Mikey has nicked this. Cars with colour and light trim rarely make the classifieds.

Defo rare to see this spec reach the ads.
I jumped on it as soon as the email alert hit Friday PM.
Saw it yesterday AM.
The condition spoke for itself.
Deal done.
I've been trying to scratch a V12:itch for over a year.
