Now..... How can I find the Oriental cars......there's around 40 of them!

I think instagram could be the way.

Thank you. Not tried on there. Quite often look on Autogespot but the trouble is identifying the last 4 vin. Cannot identify this from reg plate unlike in uk.
Is there a euro version of our HPI system?

Another new V12V owner; Chassis Number 1304, Morning Frost White, Black Interior. Could not see it on your earlier records.

Is VIN 355 on the register?

[Mako V12V]

Thanks for the suggestion Flugplatz, I will take a look and think about setting something up.

And yes, S00355 & 1304 are complete records on the Register.

Hi Phil, I understand they marketed and numbered Carbon Black editions in the US as the "last 40", but do we know how many Carbon Black's are registered in the UK.? Thanks

Hi Tarsh, from what I believe, these last 40 may only be 30, or 10 went to another marketplace. The plaques on these cars do indeed state 1 of 40 etc but I only have 30 in the US, and of these only 5 have carbon black paint, the others having Azurite black (5) and Satin black (17) paint, and one each of Flugplatz Blue, Skyfall Silver and Red Lion paint.

So far I have 32 UK carbon black V12V but also have 10 unknown blacks - it's very difficult to tell from just a photo!
But if you're after UK carbon black editions, I don't know as there are some CB Editions that aren't black, for eg there is a Mako Blue CB Edition.

I currently have 292 out of 376 (afaik) UK cars.

Hi there, yes I do but only added very recently when Welwyn had it for sale. I take it you are the new owner?

Hi Zod, thanks for the info. The Register entry for yours is incomplete as what I do have is from a photo on Autogespot. I required carpet colour, facia trim, audio system, seat type and options!

Can I just ask are your seat inserts leather or alcantara?

Much appreciated 👍

Leather. Stitching is silver. Ski Slope is piano black. Would quit like to change to CF.

I've been lurking around here for quite a while, figure it's about time for an official introduction. I purchased my V12V last May and absolutely love the car, it's exactly what I was looking for. Prior to this I had a couple bimmers and american muscle so this was a big step up, definitely a step in the right direction

Car Info:
Year: 2011
VIN: 515
Paint: Carbon Black

Nice car and photo! Same year and Carbon Black edition as mine.

You still enjoying it? How did you find the transition from spring to summer to winter on the tyres?

Thanks! Yes very much so, a definite keeper in my book.

There's a noticeable difference in available traction once the weather cools off, luckily we don't have many cold days where I'm located (northern California). I have Pzero Corsas on the car and have driven a couple hundred miles in cool rainy conditions, they weren't as bad as I feared but I had to be very easy on the throttle. Once I need new tires I'm planning to switch to the Michelin super sports.

Lovely car sierra.

[Mako V12V]

Hi Sierra, thanks for posting up your V12V and looks great in the picture. I first added this to my Register in April 2015 when it came up for sale at Los Gatos Luxury Cars, California @ 8366m. Is this where you purchased it from?
