Indeed. One assumes it won't be long before DB9 & Virage are morphed into one car

Yup, that is my understanding of what is going to happen. The Virage will be discontinued, as will DB9 - at which point a new DB9 will be launched which will in fact be a spec trimmed Virage called DB9. A Virage pack will then be available for the DB9 to take it back up to current Virage spec.

the indicators will give away whether it's UK or US but the plate holder is screwed on to the bumper and so it's only the plate holder, not the bumper, which actually needs to be different to hold that plate

Interesting to see the Virage and the Vanquish have no plate holder at all, which is the way I like to display the plate, but not the way Aston normally do it

I was on about the reflectors on the bumper meaning US spec.

The DB9 and DBS don't use plate holders now do they? Mine certainly doesnt, it's screwed straight into the bumper.

So just as confusing as before ! Why oh why did they not drop DB9 when Virage was launched and then call Virage the replacement for DB9, regardless of whether the replacement was called DB9, virage or something else

Sorry, hadn't realised what you meant

To be honest, now I think about it, never really looked at what DB9/S use for plates as I've only ever had Vantages. I wonder why they do one thing on Vantage and something different on the 2+2 s ?

Hi Alwin, thanks very much for the info. This may sound strange, but can you check it's number 350 as I have a conflict of info! Someone else with a Quantum Silver V12V has told me theirs is 350 too!!

Sure, will check today, after I have picked it up from the garage. It's getting a small cosmetic upgrade :-)

Yes please Tim! I may have the car listed from its reg plate as I have 8 Swiss plated cars but don't have 563 listed.

Ok, might have to hold fire for a few days until I can get to a good internet connection to e-mail the other pictures to you but here's a mobile snap:

Tim, amazingly, this isn't one of the 8 Swiss plated V12V's on my Register, so a new one for me! What was the location of this car/photo?

Alwin - thanks very much for the picture clarification

Shmee - I have Monaco "8656" on my register but dont have the number LOL.

E-mail on the way with #563

Mako, how many V12 Vantages have you got registered for the Netherlands?
I assume you already have the Mako Blue #002?

I can probably find out a couple more VIN's for you.
