After selling an earlier Vanquish and a couple of years in Merc Land I have just collected by new Vanquish 'S' in Tungsten Silver - Didnt realise how much I missed the sense of theatre you get right from pressing the starter button. I will never sell again unless trading for an Ultimate (if i can ever afford one). Its great to be back

As "The Jock" has suggested I am drooling, I would love to own a Vanquish S but I'm too mean with my wife's money........please do not put any pictures up of your car it would hurt too much smile

Photobucket didn't like your pics hurting Mr Gould so they deleted them by the looks of it...

Looks stunning.

How does the S compare to drive to a regular Vanquish?

Yes theres a fair difference I have noticed its mainly the mid range accelaration from 50-100MPH it really rips you back in the seat, whilst the standard Vanquish was quick, the S is something else, The Handling and Braking whilst I am sure they are better, must be closer to the original as having had a break of 2year between drives the difference is not as noticeable.

But if you were thinking of the extra investment I am sure paying the extra for an S will reap dividends with future resale values etc. I believe the earlier model out numbers the S by about 2 to 1 in RHD versions.

Anyway the sun is shining so must dash

That's just great! What an amazing car, glad you're getting the buzz back!

Realised I haven't been out in my Nine since I got back from Le Mans, a week now. I think I might later, just round the block, just for the sake of it! Seems you're passing the buzz back on smile
