Does anyone know anything about the Berwick Broze Vanquish at Redline?

Interesting colour. What happened to the one you were looking at?

Gorgeous colour combination! But did you notice it has not only the Kahn wheels (wich aren't too bad for after market ones, IMHO) but also the really hideous double side finns by them. Also the owner put a 'S' bagde on it.
Ad sounds good, but I'd be suspicious when somebody puts an Kahn side finns and an 'S' badge to a Vanquish...

Nothing .. Still looking, but it is the only Vanq I have looked at.
Also had one or two bits of info that are making me think twice about this particular car.
The Redline car looks very clean in pics and having the dual side stakes, Kahn wheels etc thought it may be a PH'rs car. It's 104 miles from me, so thought I'd ask the question before arranging to see the car.
Waiting to find out what main dealer said about the local car .... After they've done the 140pt check.

Agree but equally ... If someone is happy spending £3k on wheels, whatever the side strakes and anything else it's had that it didn't necessarily need, logic says they are not going to scrimp on general servicing & upkeep??

Khan mods are nasty IMO.

Colour's lovely, but the mods would mean I wouldn't bother looking further at all.

I also wouldn't take it as any indicator it'll have been looked after. As an alternative view, evidently the pose value was highest up on the list of priorities for the person who did it...

Chicken and egg isn't it.
Just keen to know if anyone knows previous owner or has any history onthe car (or others) around similar value.

There's also a db9 at dovehouse ... Not completely 'sold' on the navy blue but guess it'd be a case of having to see it. Been advised to try a db9 to compare it to tge vanq and see which I prefer before jumping in.

Good friend had a Vanquish & loved it, he tried a DB9 & was not keen at all..
He's got a DBS now & still misses his Vanquish believe it or not..
Keep looking & eventually I'm sure you'll find a good one, I also think your money will be much safer in a Vanquish over a DB9
