Hi Guys.

I am in the process of finalising a deal to buy a v12v coupe.

The current registration is KX09 GXR but it has also been on other registrations: GT03 DAV and V12 WNR.

The car is in Titanium silver and was registered 01/04/2009.
Engine number is AM 1024818

Has anybody have any knowledge that they can share regarding that car?

Thanks

Hi guys...wow quite a few recent posts on my Register topic!

Cymario - can you confirm who is selling KX09GXR (which is S00011) as I need 5 categories of info to complete the Register entry on this car?

BTW, The WS Madagascar Orange car is confirmed as the only V12V in this colour and is one of the last manual cars (S001343), This car attended the Aston Martin Day, Brands Hatch, July 2013. It came up for sale at AM Works @ 9100m in November 2013 at £106950 and think it's at £94950 today. I made enquiries myself soon after it was offered for sale but the price to change was too great. The spec is fabulous though as is the colour and cant believe this unique car hasn't sold.

A quick update on the Register - i now have info on 572 of the 1200 manual V12V coupes. Nearly half way there but it's getting difficult to find new ones. The most difficult and numerous cars to obtain info on are European cars coming up for sale which are v.difficult to get info on bizarrely. However, I will keep chipping away!

I also need info on final production run numbers for the Zagato and the list of vin numbers for these - i have 43 vins which intermingle with the V12V.

Any help much appreciated as always!

Cheers
Phil

Hi Phil.

The car was for sale at Bentley Manchester. I planned to go and see it yesterday but they called me in the morning to say it had been sold.

Regarding the madagascar car any other info that you have would be great. The fact that it has been for sale for nearly a year does scare me to be honesr but I really like the spec.

hi guys.

does anybody know any information about reg number. LJ59 EOA. December 2009. Hammerhead silver car. Is that a good colour for re-sale and is the mileage of 21300 too much??

Your thoughts and experience on this would be much appreciated.

I'm assuming you are on about the one at AM Works? It looks like a decent car and don't be put off by the miles/colour. Price is ok too. If you want lower miles then you almost certainly will need to spend more than 80.

[cymario]

thanks for that. Is a 2010 model year car ok? Have many improvements been made to the manuals since and how do you see residual performance on that car?

Mines a 2010MY

They don't vary much from 2010MY onwards and residuals are strong due to low numbers.

Thanks so much. Could you let me know what I should look out for when inspecting it based on your experience.

Thanks

The Madagascar car has been there a while, nobody dare buy it for the colour. I personally think the miles are also an issue for the age, fairly high for the price/age. Stunning car though.

TBH your buying from a reputable AM Dealer, I use them for servicing. You also have a 12 month warranty for peace of mind. For the miles, I'm not expecting anything to go wrong with it. You may get the odd rattle/niggle with the interior but that can be fixed easily, just make sure you test drive with the stereo off at low(ish) speeds. HTH
