It was a polite request. Given we've all contributed to this - it's hardly an abomination of an ask, but the chap is welcome to politely refuse - or even sell access to this if there's incentive to make a profit.

You guys are letting the side down, too cheap esp Mako thats a bargain. your phone is going to be ringing like mad tonight Mako! biggrin
yes
Yes you're right..... What was I thinking!

And £250k is not as silly as you think........ A friend has a 89F 911 Carrera 3.2 which was around £32k list price and now valued for insurance purposes at £62k. It still has less than 50k miles on the clock.

List price of mine circa £145k so by year 2035 should be £275-£300k valuation !!!

@Mako - would you allow me to host a copy of the V12 Register on my secure cloud? Could grant access to users of PH that want it. Only if you're prepared to release it of course - I know you put a lot of work into this. Would be amazing to see everything in one place in an Excel or similar. Thoughts?

It was a polite request. Given we've all contributed to this - it's hardly an abomination of an ask, but the chap is welcome to politely refuse - or even

Cheers

Mako,s life work are you sure?
I appreciate the request as it is becoming quite a marvel! And I have had lots of requests to share (from a main dealer sales person too). It does currently represent 5 years of effort. At the present time I'm not happy to share as it's far from complete. Also, some info given in confidence so would need to remove this. Probably only around 10% of info has been provided by PH members, and I really do appreciate it. But I have always been willing to send an owner their register entry should I have it. Plus if an owner has a new entry I'd be happy to share my car's info in return for theirs to promote mutual trust.

MakoV12V . I think mines already on your list but I think I gave you the wrong colour.
I thought it was lightning silver. It is in fact Quantum silver

Thanks. I realised it wasn't lightning as I have a picture of 059, but have it down as Meteorite. This may seem a strange question but how do you know it's Quantum?

And to stay on topic.........still no manual V12V coupes at UK main dealers for sale....... But there is one in AM Sandton, S Africa!
I've emailed them for the number. Would be nice to get an SA car on the Register.

I asked for some touch up paint last time it was in for a service and got Quantum silver. I did think they had made a mistake but I've used it and it's perfect.

Given the relative rarity of V12V's for sale at the moment, I'm wondering why the Carbon Black that has come up for sale yesterday/today is still at such a reasonable price? If I were the dealer I'd surely know there weren't many for sale and bung, say 5k, on the asking price, or am I missing something in the equation?

Indeed. I know JCT Brooklands had a 2009 with 25k miles at the same price as this one in December, which I am assuming is now sold.
