Spotted - Deddington Oxon overnight last night (still there on market day this morning)
V12VGT.

As an old git who loves cars; I stopped and gawked at it like a star struck schoolboy. It's in a pearlescent blue, and has obviously done some fast road miles through foul weather. Amazing just how aggressive it looks.

Thanks Paul, I have limited info on this one but can confirm it's #379 in Mako Blue like mine.

Thanks for helping me with this Dan....you have earned 5 ride tokens

Phil,

Looks like not so many left out there now, so to keep your register up to date, just finalised the deal on VIN# 1133 (should not have taken the test drive...just like so many have already said, once tried, our original idea of a V8 fell by the wayside, thanks to some 'Man Maths')

Andy

Andy, congrats on successfully completing the Man Maths exercise! and thanks very much for the info.

To complete the Register entry for this car:-
1) Are the sports seat inserts leather or alcantara?
2) Does it have a bright finish grille?
3) Who is the supplying dealer?
4) PICTURES!!!

Much appreciated

So what build numbers are we up to now Phil, as it seems production is finished.
Would that also suggest that there will be no 100th anniversary V12V either?
All seems quiet on the anniversary cars in general.

Hi Ivan, the highest number V12V Coupe I have is #1304 and the highest V12V Roadster is #1324.

However, as far as Coupe numbers go, the Roadster and Zagato vins are taken from this series too, therefore at 1324 cars, 101 of these are Roadsters and I have identified 10 Zagatos - there may be more of these built currently (or all!).

So maybe around 1200 coupes built?

Cheers - Phil

Phil - do you have any numbers to back up my assumptions on the USA numbers?

Adam - up to vin S01000 there were 154 US supplied cars. I have identified a further 33 cars up to S01258 and the latter cars have been special editions of 40 cars, either Satin/Azurite or Carbon black. I still have lots of gaps over S01115 though so there may be more.

[Mako V12V]

Steve, Ian and Pablo,
Thanks for the info which is very useful indeed. I'll reply in more detail shortly when I can access my Register.

Steve - I need both 1284 and 1315. Do you have the dealer pdf spec sheets on these? Any photos of yours and 1284 would be great!

Ian - do you have a linky to the amoc thread? I was thinking there would not be many more numbers of V12V's as production had ceased. In fact, the V12VS's photographed this summer and on the Internet have vins prior to 1376 so some overlap there.

Pablo - I was starting to think your car had fallen off the boat as I'd not heard from you, although when you take delivery of a V12V it does somewhat take over things!

When I've updated the Register with these 3 cars I'll post up a summary of where I'm up to.
I'm at last starting to make progress identifying EU cars so this is helping populate the Register, although EU dealers really are very difficult to get vins out of!!

Back soon....
Phil

Ok, this is where I'm currently up to after around 3 years doing this!

I have 405 cars from the first 1000 listed on the Register, at varying degrees of completeness for the info I maintain.

I have a further 89 cars listed from 1001-1376.

The countries of allocation I have so far are:-

Australia 35
Austria 4
Belgium 47
Brazil 5
Canada 26
Chile 14
China 2
Czech Republic 2
Denmark 1
Dubai 1
France 69
Germany 178
Greece 1
Hong Kong 4
Italy 19
Japan 33
Kuwait 5
Lebanon 2
Luxembourg 1
Malaysia 1
Netherlands 13
Norway 2
NZ 11
Poland 3
Portugal 2
Quatar 2
S Africa 5
Saudi Arabia 3
Singapore 5
Spain 2
Sweden 2
Switzerland 88
Taiwan 2
UK 360
Ukraine 1
USA 195
UNKNOWN 79
NON-V12V Coupe 151
TOTAL 1376

And these are made up of:-

Coupe - 1146
Roadster - 103
Unknown -79
Zagato - 43
V12VS - 4
007 - 1
TOTAL - 1376


So over on the AMOC Forum, they're saying 1200 Manual coupes, which means 54 of the unknown 79 are coupes and 25 are either Zagatos/V12VS's.

I look forward to the day when I have the definitive answer!!

Here we go again 103 Roadsters???? They only made 101 ! Think Jonby will be along soon to pass comment.

Great work though on the register - I'm surprised how many cars are in Germany.

I think Germany is the EU "base" to deliver lots of unregistered (stock cars) to, which then disperse around Europe.

And yes, 103 Roadsters! Most of this info came from Alwin who has the Cobalt Blue car, via his trusted main dealer source.
Making reference to what Ian said above, one of the "extra" ones will be the initial white one of Dr Bez methinks.

I can supply the 103 V12VR vins to anyone who can officially verify them as such, if they wish to contact me. Anything to help clarify the situation

[Mako V12V]

Hi Henry, thanks for the info and photos....mmmm....metallicy purply black.....nice!

I've seen your question over on the Amoc forum and should be able to provide some further info for you on 1196. I'll try and email you tomorrow!

[Mako V12V]

Hi Marc,
Thank you very much for posting this up as #862 was not on my Register. And what a truly stunning colour combo you specced. The V12V does look particularly good in Tungsten and the Chestnut complements it very nicely indeed.
I also love the polished alloy tread plates which are quite a rare specced item.
Cheers - Phil

[Mako V12V]

Steve W - thanks for the update and PDF files...you have mail

Steven - congrats on purchasing S01258, I have updated the record for this car. I have this one for sale at Collection Motorsports in February this year with 48 miles on it! Will you be the second owner?


And both of you..........PICTURES PLEASE!!

[Mako V12V]

Cheers Adam, so this on AM's site around noon on Sat and have already Enquired about the vin and await a reply.
There was an orange v12v attend some summer events this year with the S's so waiting to see if its the same one. If it is, it's one of the last ones.
It had me interested for a while but with virtually the same mileage as mine and over 3 years apart, it cannot be justified.

I just bought a second one: 945 Goodwood Green. To keep on the West Coast

Hi Steven, that's just plain greedy lol!

And a nice choice too, as 945 in Goodwood Green is the only V12V I have in that colour!!

Unusually (for US cars), I'm missing the full vin for 945. The vin is normally shown in full on US adverts, unlike in the UK or EU, but I dont have it for 945 for some reason. Could you possibly email this over to me so I could complete this record?

Cheers - Phil

Phil,

I am running a list of UK Vantages (MY2009 on) in the colour
Grigio Titanio - Ferrari.

A V12 has recently been pointed out to me on this forum, that was for sale by Maranello in Egham. I did not see that at the time it was advertised, so can only find 'sketchy' details ie.

Reg: 2010/59
Asking price: £74,850
Interior: Obsidian Black.

If you know of this car, can you please tell me the following?

Exact Date of first registration.
Model Year.
When it was for sale.
Photographs.

I presume that this is probably the only UK Grigio V12 Vantage.

Thank you.

Hello chaps. Sorry only just seen this, as i'm not on here much at the mo due to spending muchos time trying to buy a house!!

I only have two Grigios on my Register, both USA cars S00721 and S00915. I too saw this advert of Marenello's and emailed them asking for the last 4 vin. But alas, they never replied. Probably as they had already sold it. Perhaps you could phone them to ask the last 4 vin, they may be helpful?

I do have 4 saved photos of this car though.

On a happier note I have finally acquired one, chassis no. 187. Phil, if you need any other details for the list I'd be happy to oblige.

Thanks for that, and congrats!
My Register entry is complete for S00187 and I have quite a few notes for this which I'll email you FYI.

Cheers - Phil

Hi Phil

Chassis number 1005
Previous registration LK12 CKP - June 2012
Current registration V12 RFB
Onyx Black with a black interior and standard seats
Bought December 2013 from Grange Brentwood via Grange Welwyn (I think the previous owner was JBaps looking at previous posts on the forum.....your new V12VS looks very nice by the way!)
I upgraded from a 4.3 V8 Coupe which I bought new in March 2007.
Very pleased with my latest acquisition and I think it will be a long term keeper.

Best Regards

Minglar

Hi there, thanks for this info, I have updated the Register and the entry is now complete!

[Mako V12V]

As a quick bit of info, the Register now has 542 individual entries of varying completeness. Of these, 270 are UK cars and I'm aware of a total of 368 UK cars but still have a further 62 unknown vins (20+ possible Zagato vins) up to the final vin of S01376.
