What V12 for ~£80K (not 550/575) ?

[Mario149]

Toying with the idea of getting into a V12 again, budget would be ~£80K, would see usage as a third car only for maybe 2K miles per year and the odd track day.

Can't be a 550/575 as I've had the former already. What would people recommend? Initial thoughts are V12 Vantage or DBS as truth be told I'm a bit nervous about 10 year old 599 running costs and F1 box.

Presumably the (potentially) higher running costs of the 599 will be somewhat offset by the depreciation on the Astons?

V12V is holding about 80/135 = ~60% after 5 years, 599s are at about 40% after 9 years, so not a million miles apart, but I take your point

Jaguar XJS and an F355 for the weekends?

Haha! Left field Had a 355 already, great cars but at £60K now with their running costs not a chance
