Could be to do with the diesel scandal
Glad I bought an environmentally friendly V12 petrol.

Just doing my bit for the environment :-)

[mblade123]

And now there are only 2

[mblade123]

Well, that looks like it's been a busy week.
Only 1 for sale in the dealer network this week now.

Think this answers the question from another topic. Is it a keeper.

Carbon Black I would think

(Very sought after, by owners who have a full time cleaning valet.)

Doesn't everyone Jon?

More LaFerraris for sale than V12 Vantages (1)

[mblade123]

17k on mine.
Bloody headlight LEDs failed on one side now. Glad I've still got a warranty on it

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

Can you remind me what number it is so I can check?

000059 or M5RXK

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?

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.

And then there were none again.

Congratulations Nijius

They don't hang around very long!

In both senses of the word

Be interesting to see how many people have run up about yours since you bought it. It's been on their website all week

I was like you - kept waiting. Then I noticed a main dealer had a 2009 and a 2012 at the same time, with precious little difference in price. So I rationalized that since interest rates and the stock market weren't great, I'd put some money into V12V. Who knows, over the next years it could outperform the stock market....

How's that for man math?

I doth my hat to you sir. That is indeed splendid man maths

As Nijius mentioned in a thread, another has appeared for sale.

I'm just glad I got my hands on one a couple of years ago. I still love it to bits and brings a great smile to my face when I press that glass key in and hear that V12 roar.
Price is irrelevant to me as I doubt I will ever get rid of it.

Exactly!! Aston Martin have built around 75,000 cars in the last 102 years. Around 90% of them are still on the road. They are built from the best materials/components, and are built to last. Anybody that has been around the factory, and seen what goes into building an Aston Martin, knows how cheap they are compared to other brands, especially steel bodied competitors!

You make a good point. Especially to all the environmentalists saying were awful people for having big engine cars.
At least they are not little disposable euro boxes which have a life span of about 10 years. They are then either scrapped or left rotting.
Once an Aston has been built its around for an awful long time

Well it looks like the dealers have caught on to the lack of V12v manuals for sale.
Ones just popped up on the AM website. 2011. £50 short of 100k
