Hi all, gave my info to Phil a while ago, but never shared pics, mainly because I never really had any. Here are some I took a week or so ago.

Dave - great photos and backdrop! May I use these to add to my V12V Register photo library?

Yes, of course!

Edit: Although she looks a bit different now. See the "wraps" thread. wink

Does someone know how many V12Vs Aston had built until this day? They said 999, so not many left I guess?

Pretty sure we are well past 1000. Mine was regsitered Jan 1st but doubtless made a month or two before and it was 779 and its now June. I did a factory tour a few weeks ago and think I spied 1029 with 2 or 3 behind it on production line and 3 or 4 6L engines in addition lying around on the Vantage line. A dealer said they were going to make 1,300 in total but that was before the announcement of the Roadster.

A figure of 1300 has been mentioned, albeit with the extra 300 going to supply US demand. UK numbers "should" end up around 250 cars??!!

Great shoots!

You're so fortunate over there that you don't have to mount the front license plate - looks so much better without it.

True, but then they have to live with them hideous side reflectors.

I've been running my V12 Vantage for 5 weeks now with no front number plate (just a 3/4 sticker on the lower side of the front bumper) and I'm in central London daily drive where I pass around 10 cops every day. Never been stopped. Give it a go! Car looks way better.

Not sure that can be right mate? Tim @ JCT600 told me they delivered #996 a week or so ago??

Are you getting tempted to buy one then?

Ahh well that seems in keeping with my info too then. Im pretty sure they are now going to make >1000 but I believe all these cars will be built to order only and thus are very likely to be RRP or close to it. Thats one of the reasons I jumped now - I just dont think there will be deals to be had on new stock for very long.

Do it, you wont regret it... Ive owned a 4.7 V8 and driven a V8S and of course own a V12V. The V8S is a great step up as you know but the V12V is a pure beast. I absolutely love it and Im sure you would too. Feel free to PM me if you want and we can chat through any thoughts or questions you might have.

I may well be wrong but in talking one of the larger dealerS several weeks I heard that numbers +1000 were already ordered and due for delivery. No mention of customer order only. It is a great, successful, profitable product. Can't see it being dropped with A M finances. Perhaps the Gaydon members might comment along with some hints around V 12V Roadster timing and pricing. I can dream.....

Mikey, you joining the V12V club?? Go for it mate, you will not regret it. Truly awesome beasts, although you will miss the roadster sunburn I guess.
