lovely cobalt V12V at a reasonable price

I know this won't be for everyone, but just spotted this and I have to say I think it's absolutely lovely and sensibly priced too

(I have no connection to this car btw ! just spotted it on my twitter feed)

That is the first V12 Vantage in Cobalt Blue that I have seen. Didn't know they even existed.

Dare I say I think it looks even better as a coupe than as a roadster in that colour - nothing negative whatsoever to say about yours Alwin, just think this coupe really does look good

I actually think, as Silverstone referred to, that if you go for a really vibrant non grey/silver/black exterior colour, expecially on a soft top (which I know this isn't !), I can understand far more going for a black interior, especially as in this instance the blue stitching works really well

I also think that two tone interiors are rather hit & miss in the 2 seaters, so whilst I understand where you're coming from Yeti, especially with a 4 seater yourself, some of your suggestions for this car would just look too bitty, all as ever IMHO !

Any more news on V12VR production Alwin - last time you posted on the matter, it was 90 odd - have they all been made now ? And if so, do you have a definitive number per country

I originally heard 40 odd anticipated for the UK, then more recently 24 or 26, then dealer this week told me just 17 for the UK out of the total of 101

I'm tempted to go look at this over the weekend being my 2nd local dealer. But. Personally this car needs lightweight cf seats and alcantara steering wheel not leather.
It does have blue stitching but as Nick has coloured his seat inserts red, this car is crying out for blue alcantara seats inserts.
Vin is 817 if anyone is interested, a new one for my register.
Methinks ill wait for a v12v with the carbon packs and black grille as I think they look shweeet!!

There are a few unregistered cars (V12 Coupes) at the dealerships at present with some VERY substantial discounts to be had, but of course being brand new, they aren't advertised anywhere so you need to call to ask ;-)
