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?

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)

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)

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.
Now only question a) was to be answered.
