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?

Yes, I purchased it at Los Gatos, I'm not sure who had it before me but do know it was originally sold at AM of Marin in October of 2010...I'm the second owner. The car currently has just under 12k miles.

Well there's been many a month go by since I've added 3 V12Vs to my Register in a week! And to make it even more special, these 3 are located in Europe:-
Onyx black in Germany
Jet black in Luxembourg
Quantum Silver in Holland (thanks wink )

So I now have the grand total of 615 out of 1196....... Only 581 left to find, should be easy silly

Firstly hello to all, not posted for a long time.
Purchased a 4.7 V8 in February that I did not find that "special" despite loving the occasion. Expensive mistake and should have gone V12 to start with.. Have now placed a deposit on a V12 registered Jan 2013 to collect next week. Has only covered 2k miles from new with immaculate service history despite its low miles. Was owned I have been told by a gentleman in his 80's who has upgraded to V12S due to finding the manual too demanding. Not sure if it is on your register but if not details below

Chassis number 1027
Meteorite with obsidium black interior with silver stitch and standard heated seats. 700w, black calipers, piano.
Purchased from AM Cheltenham who have been a pleasure to deal with.
UK
I know it's a "dull" colour but wanted something understated! Had to be manual!
Looking forward to ownership!

Thanks Paul. Was as close to a "new" car I could find. Hoping it ticks the boxes I felt was missing with the V8 or it will be another expensive mistake! Roll on next week, 8 more sleeps!

Congrats on a great purchase.

If the boxes were - more than enough power
- torque starting down low
- better manual shifter/clutch
- superb brakes (and no brake dust)
- not seeing yourself come and go (even living 10 miles from the Wilmslow dealership)
- incredible multi-tonal sound (even near idle)
..consider them ticked!

Wonder if all the V12V's now available come from owners moving on to "less-demanding" cars. All the more for former V8 owners to go for.

All of the above, the brake dust was the decider smile

Congrats on the car, I've got one the same colour and I like it, practical too as you won't have to wash it every time you use it.

I did exactly the same, towards the back end of last year I dipped my toe in the AM water with a V8V, after only a couple of hundred miles I realised I'd made a huge mistake so changed for a V12V in Feb, I doubt you'll regret the change, I haven't for a second.....enjoy

Bump!

Well almost 6 months since my post above and the Register is up to 635 cars, having added 3 cars this week for sale in Uk, USA and Switzerland. Lots (6 or 7) of black for sale in Europe, and in the USA S00611 has just sold - the only Aviemore Blue car with Sahara Tan interior! lick

Hi Trigbush - thanks for posting. No, I don't have 889 on the register. Could you post a link up of the advert or pm me it so that I can get all the details for my register?
Many thanks, and congrats on your purchase!

Hey there - it was never advertised because the dealer informed me it was coming in in advance and I went to see it before he could even post an advert. What information do you need? Also I have test driven and viewed two others and can try and get details of those for you too...

Hey, thanks for the info. S00300 I have.... it was for sale at AM Copenhagen in January this year! Missing the full vin but don't normally get this info on EU cars.
I can send you the register entry for mine then you can see the info I keep, then I can put 889 on the register biggrin
If you can get other European cars then fantastic!
I'll send you an email.
