Shame they didn;t colour the top-roll a darker brown, maybe bitter chocolate, but that is one stunning car

Think it's stunning
But what a shame - registered may 2010 menas not only is it a little over 2 yrs old, but it's seen 3 summers and done just 6,000 miles
Plus being a UK registered left hooker, I assume it's someone who has a foot in europe with a holiday home/original home/whatever so will have done some continental trips which normally adds considerably to mileage
As has been said before, it doesnt do a vehicle like that any good to presumably spend so much time in a garage and it's just a sin to barely drive it

Love the exterior... hate that interior! Might look better in the flesh, but it looks pink on that picture.

Saw this in the flesh today, certainly unusual and a bit different to the norm...

Agree airy George. Interior looks really cheap and nasty.

I suspect its the camera - the carpet is bitter chocolate but even that looks pinkish in the picture. Im pretty sure Chestnut Tan doesnt look pink in real life. Here is another Chestnut Tan interior. Compare! http://dealerrevs.com/gallery/43038895.html

I think the chestnut tan needs to be part of a two-tone interior. Othwerwise it'd be like being trapped in a Dime bar.

If I was the dealer selling that V12V is definitely be re-photoing the interior of the car. Looks terrible in that pic, made me think it was an error that it said chestnut tan interior!

mikey: Very true. I was distracted so much by the interior i had not actually noticed that.

Not a bad way to commute to and from the continent if you have a house in France...

I guess I never understood why high car manufacturers went to the clear rear brake lenses. I'm sure many like it but I don't. The trend began as a tacky aftermarket modification and then Aston, Porsche and others picked it up. I'm also sorry with the V12V Aston didn't make the bonnet vents look a little more convincing. But it's still a lovely looking car.

I'm sure I read elsewhere on PH - if red lights weren't mandatory, would anyone have voluntarily stuck two lumps of red plastic on the back? Clears make more sense but there are negative connotations with them I guess...
What would you have hoped the vents would convince you of?

Porsche had clear lenses as an option. I recall looking at some GT3 and RS 997.2's with and without them. The vent issue is difficult to describe. Their general placement is fine but it looks (again) like an aftermarket plastic (okay carbon fiber) insert into the hood. Why not have the hood and vents integrated together as one and with half as many slates over the same overall length. Something a little more mean and aggressive like the Sagaris wheel arch faux (and real) slates. Not exactly but a little like this:
