AM Vanquish air vents
 
A double Vanquish trivia:

a) The air vents in the interior of the AM Vanquish prototype weren't designed by Aston Martin. They used air vents form another car. Wich car?

b) The current air vents in the interior of the AM Vanquish (S) are also recycled out of another car. Wich car?

the vents on the Vanquish S are used on almost every car Ford has.

But I'm looking for the original ones. There is one car that had them first, 'long' before other cars had them.


And it's not the Focus (not the European version I don't really know the US MY05 version)

well I can tell you that they look like the vents that our old '97 Windstar had

I just searched for some 1996 to 1998 Ford Windstar interior pics. They idd look a lot like those in the Vanquish, but they are not exactly the same. There is a car on the roads that has exact the same air vents (left, right, and center vents)

Ford Taurus?
Ford Mondeo?
Ford who gives a...
I give up.

Hehe. It isn't easy unless you have been in the car(s) we're looking for.

Tip: both are European cars

Correct ;)
Only the button between the center vents to turn on the 4 indicator lights isn't adopted out of the S80.
