Hi on a manual V8 Vantage you can dip the clutch and press the accelerator to the floor and then engine turns over without starting to enable oil priming which is useful if car has not run for a while.

Question does this feature apply to manual V12V ,DB9 and DBS as well ; mentioned it to owners of both who did not know and obviously reluctant to try it without knowing it will work.

Thanks will pass on - just need any manual DB9 or DBS owners to confirm or not

I think its a really good feature and will help to negate engine wear on cars that are not daily drivers but seems little known including it would seem AM dealers
