FJ10 FXP, Morning Frost white V12V just cruised by me at a cafe on the Route Napoleon in South France.

Thanks Tim, this is #258, which i have the details of from a PH forum member I think.
My mate went to Le Mans recently and saw loads of V8V's but no V12V's so did not acquire any European examples
There is a dealer in Switzerland who has a new Carbon Black and a used Meteorite Silver V12V in. I've emailed them (in German) for details but have heard nothing back yet
Getting the European ones is turning out to be a real pain in zee arse!!

Many thanks this morning to Dan at Top 555 Ltd who supplied me with info and has this stunning Magma Red V12V in for sale:-



And to Broughtons AM Cheltenham for info on their Onyx Black V12V:-

Do you have the info on #879? I've got pics and details if you don't.

Yes, I have this, but am missing info on the type of sounds system - Premium audio or B&O!!
And could do with some better photos.

Thanks for your help

Another one seen today in Monaco. Not sure of the number I'm afraid as reaching over a moving car to see it didn't appeal!

Thanks once again Tim, I have one photo of this from Flickr but no other details. Perhaps it's #289 as the plate suggests??
Oh yeah, your commitment, or lack of it, to the cause, by not jumping in front of a moving car is duly noted!

Spotted V12V at Catterick Garrison Tesco, JH12 BRH.

Black in colour... not sure of other details. Do you have this one on your register?

Hi James, thanks for the photo taken on a steep hill
No, I dont have this, probably quite a high numbered one given the 12 plate. I shall add this to the Register.

Here's mine:

VIN: #350
Reg: 97-NDR-3
Color: Fire Red
Country: the Netherlands

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!!

Shmee said:

Just snapped #563 on Swiss plates, need the details e-mailed?

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?

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

Hi Alwin - please tell - what cosmetic upgrade? Any photos? And is yours no.350?

[Mako V12V]

Alwin - thanks very much for the picture clarification

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

[Mako V12V]

Alwin said:

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.

Hi Alwin, i'll email you the plates later - any help would be greatly received!

Sorry for the tardiness Mako, but here it is:


VIN 598
Carbon Black
USA

Hi, thanks for this, did you buy #598 from Long Island, NY?

[Mako V12V]

CPBRI said:

No, AM of New England.

Interesting. I saw an advert by Long Island selling #598 with 0 miles so I guess these were the supplying dealership and you are the second owner?

[Mako V12V]

Adam - thanks for your post - the first one on here for nearly 2 months! I was just thinking the other day how I must update this thread lol

Steve/Trey - congrats on your new cars, and thanks for the pictures and info. I will be in touch shortly to ask for more info to complete my Register entries for both cars! I try and compile details similar to what you see on the AM used car website

And I can confirm, that is the first V12V I will have listed in AMBRG!!

[Mako V12V]

Now that the season is well and truly over and many a (UK!) V12V will be hibernating over winter, including mine, I thought it would be a good time for an update.
It was quite slow over mid-2012 adding to the Register but these last couple of months has typically seen a surge in supply!

I'm still to find a solution as to how to obtain the last 3 vin numbers from foreign reg plates and therefore the many large holes in the Register will be mainly for European cars, with a few RoTW cars (excl USA) thrown in for good measure.

The Register now holds 523 vehicle records of varying completeness as follows:-

Race car = 1
Prototypes = 8
Vin 001-1000 = 316
Vin 1001-1114 (highest so far) = 19
Unknown vin = 179 (some of these will be duplicates due to plate changes in UK & Europe)

The Country locations of 001-1114 are:-

Unknown - 6
Australia - 6
Belgium - 5
Canada - 2
Switzerland - 7
Germany - 3
France - 1
UK - 194
Italy - 2
UK Jersey - 2
Luxemberg - 1
Netherlands - 7
New Zealand - 1
USA - 98

Of the 179 unknowns their country locations are:-

UK - 18
Austria - 3
Andorra - 1
Australia - 6
Belgium - 19
Brazil - 1
Switzerland - 10
China - 1
Czech Republic - 2
Germany - 53
France - 23
Hong Kong - 2
Italy - 2
Japan - 1
Luxemberg - 10
Monaco - 5
Netherlands - 6
Poland - 2
Saudi - 1
S Africa - 2
Singapore - 2
Ukraine - 1
UAE - 3
USA - 4
Unknown - 1

Total countries/principalities represented = 26!!

Hope you find this of interest, and keep the contributions coming.

Cheers - Phil

Any pics of the Goodwood Green V12V Phil? That sounds stunning!

George - this is #945 and was for sale in the USA for quite some time. The pictures dont do it justice though as the lighting is all wrong:-

[Mako V12V]

Any help identifying this colour please - is it a green or a silver?
