Someone's Only Gone And Done it!

Just doing a quick search of pre-owned on the Aston web site and I see that the Works V12 in Madagascar Orange is gone

Who purchased it?

If I had the money I would have purchased it, but Mrs Bomber wasn't open to any negotiations

Anyone on here purchased it then?????

I broke this news on another V12V thread last Wednesday http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... but nobody owned up so I assume nobody on here.

OMG I've just noticed that the Madagascar Beast has disappeared from the Pre-owned site. About time too, someone has got a fantastic V12V there. Anyone on here?

I came very close to buying it in the summer but couldn't convince everyone who got a say regarding the colour

Congratulations to the new owner, it's a fantastic car.

Just one for posterity (taken at my test drive) ...….

Was talking to Simon at Works on Saturday and he confirmed it was sold. Must admit I didn't realise its the only V12V EVER painted that colour at the factory. A very unique car for someone

I'd have steered clear on the basis that it took ages to sell this time, it will probably take ages to sell next time. That "unique colour.. one of a kind" sales patter turns into "acquired taste, nobody ever wants it"

Interesting how the MP4-12C sells in droves in this colour, yet the AM struggles to sell (just 1)...

LOTTO you mean in the uk? I have seen the same colour car at a swiss main dealer sold this year as well.

I stand corrected I was told its the only one ever done at the factory
