Battery maintainer - optional. The grin on your face when you get it is standard equipment. Enjoy !

Lots of items as 'standard' may not come with the car... leather owners manual, Lamy pen, tool kit, glass key, emergency key, tire kit etc.

Best to ask for an inventory

Battery maintainer is unlikely and an easy buy either way. Looking forward to seeing pictures when you get it!

“plus two keys”
Crystal (glass) or plastic (valet)?
Huge difference in cost.

Often overlooked & frequently maligned, the oddly shaped leather elbow cushion that fits in the metal cupholder.

Tow hook yes, not sure about the tire inflator.
I bought my 2014 new and have yet to come across it.

That picture shows the wind deflector - make sure it’s still there when you take delivery. Beautiful car!

Great for you. You will love the car. Search the forums and the internet for whatever you want to do. Redpants is great as is Bamford Rose. But Bamford Rose has more engineer oriented info. Mike the owner is a former AM power train engineer. Aston1936 has a DB9 but plenty of information that can be used on a Vantage. Stuart at Velocity AP is a great guy.
You will have plenty of resources. Don’t forget YouTube.
