V12 Vantage Register
Discussion
I'm trying to compile a spreadsheet of as many V12V stats as I can, from personal sightings, or adverts on the net, or from fellow PHers. Some of these records are backed up by photos too.
It may be, that this info is available from AM themselves, however, where is the fun in just obtaining the info direct from them!
I've also cross referenced info from certain books etc to try and identify both UK and non-UK cars and which cars were used by mags/journalists or by AM for motor shows and displays etc.
If any V12V owners on here would like to postup, or email me any of the following info and/or a photo of their car, that would be great:-
Chassis (last 3 digits)
Reg (incl previous reg if applicable)
Colour 1 (ie blue)
Colour 2 (ie Mako)
Country (UK/USA/Germany/Australia etc)
Notes - any other useful info you may have on your car.
Please note this database I'm trying to compile is for personal use only.
Cheers - Phil
ps. i have nearly 100 vehicle records so far but many are incomplete with regard to the above info.

Database update - I have 94 different entries so far plus 4 prototypes. I also have a further 10 without VIN numbers (mainly non-uk ones).
On identifying colours, i must admit im struggling to distinguish between hammerhead, meteorite, tungsten and quantum!
I also have 6 Mako blues - very common
What are peoples views on a database such as this? The reason I ask is that I didn't get much response after my request for info - are people reluctant for me to hold this info on their car?

Is there any damage that you or others can do with this info Phil ??
Or is it just a case of 'Aston Spotting' ??
It's mainly just Aston Spotting and collating of basic info Or is it just a case of 'Aston Spotting' ??
Cant see what harm it can do at all, not asking for addresses or how much was paid for them lol.
Incidentally, there's a Magma Red one up for sale at a Saudi Arabian dealership. I've asked for the VIN on that one but they appear reluctant to give it to me - but then again I cant speak Arabic!
I've obtained details of a Belgian and American car today which are being sold at main dealers!
Phil/Di, thanks for the info! And congrats on your new purchase Phil, you're gonna love every minute
I've decided to bulk up the database, similar to a main dealer's spec page, to include interior trim colours, seat types,audio and optional extras. I realise these extra columns may be difficult to obtain but this is a long term project! Therefore my database now has these columns to populate:-
Chassis (last 3 digits)
Registration date
Reg (incl previous reg if applicable)
Colour 1 (ie blue)
Colour 2 (ie Mako)
Interior colour - upper/lower
Headlining and carpet colours
Facia trim and brake calipers
Seat type - sports seats or lightweight buckets
Audio system - 160W/700W/1000W B&O
Country (UK/USA/Germany/Australia etc)
Notes - optional extras such as front park sensors, garage door opener, heated seats etc.
I'm also trying to obtain at least 3 photos of each car - front/side, rear/side and interior.
Any help as always appreciated

Hi David, that's great, thanks for the info. I tried emailing you so you could send the photos back to me, but you're email link isn't working. You could upload some on photobucket?
Do you have the standard 160W audio system or the upgraded 700W or B&O. Also are ur brake calipers black?
I'm in rainy, dreary, Lancashire!

Oh good, I'll look forward to those
Did you ever find out what the green is on the V12V above? It's been bugging me for a bit, can't quite find what it is. Looks a bit too light for Buckinghamshire green yet too dark for Almond green Looks great whatever colour it is
Hi George, no, not found out yet which green it is - could it be AM Racing Green?Did you ever find out what the green is on the V12V above?

I've come across #915 in the US which is Grigio Silverstone Ferrari in colour and check out the interior colour including the facia trim! If you can guess that interior colour i'll be amazed
