lovely cobalt V12V at a reasonable price

[jonby]

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 a lovely colour, but wrong seats for my taste. Not that I am looking to change anyway...

Grange have a gorgeous cobalt blue Vantage S on the forecourt. A fantastic colour.

Nice looks too much like the various launch S's for me
JCT do seem to get some unusual colours on (Flame Orange V12V, Apple Green Virage)

Do they still have that? Looks fantastic in the pictures

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

(been looking all over for pics when I considered ordering the V12VR in Cobalt Blue)

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

Why combine such a vibrant and exciting interior with miserable imaginationless black leather on top and lower roll? I just don't get it. Almost infinite choices and they choose, ohhh, let's see.. black on the top and for bottom... Mmm, I think black again

Very cool looking car though

I know when I specced my R because I went quite adventurous (for me) with Volcano I would match the roof and external carbon with a black and carbon interior. I couldnt get my head around bringing more red in to the cabin Everyone to their own but I'm happy and thats all that matters (although I wished I gone for Jonbys diamond stitch)

Off topic but you've just reminded me of a joke I got sent the other day.


My mate just said, "What's your favourite mythical creature?"

I said, "Those happy women in Tampax adverts."

Yup - lovely colour but heavily associated with ex demo / press cars.

Unless of course pebble-dashed bonnets and roofs are part of the effect

George, that was actually pretty funny

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 !

Nice color for a V12V!

Think it might be a few dry wells.

I'm alright - just don't like black leather, although that blue stitching does look good But seeing at 99% of Astons have it, I'm the minority!

Black and blue just looks like a bruise though

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
