Short Description
Vinny Vanquish: an underworld character from US television series ‘The Sopranos’, or even the New York Mob for real? Or perhaps a famous crooner, who kept the bars of America’s East and West Coasts busy in the 1950s with anthems and classic ballads for the downbeat and broken hearted? In fact, Vinny ‘Vanquish’ is much closer to home. Step forward Vinny Ryan, one of the Works Service team at Newport Pagnell since relocating in 2002 from Spain, where he worked at an Aston Martin dealership. ‘Vinny Vanquish?

From Birkenhead and with a breezy approach to conversation that negates any likelihood of a pregnant pause, he dates his love affair with the Vanquish to 2001 when, on a dealership training course, he gleaned a full insight into how exactly the car was made. ‘Watching the process, I thought to myself, this is it – I want to master everything behind what makes up such a great car.’
