Aston V12 Values
Discussion
I’m looking at the V12 Vantage S at Dick Lovett Bristol, finished in Q special paint “Ferrari Daytona Black” with red carbon fibre details…
It’s priced at £79,995 which looks about right looking at the other classifieds.
I personally love the colour combo. It has the B&O sound but no lightweight seats…not massively fussed about this as quite like a heated seat
Does anyone know this car? Thoughts on spec?
Having heard the V12 in the showroom the other cars on the short list have disappeared!

Pretty sure this is an ex PH car but those red tailpipe and red speaker grilles are a tad OTT i think and i dont recall seeing those before. There is a fine line between tasteful and vulgar at times It’s priced at £79,995 which looks about right looking at the other classifieds.

Funny, I quite like the exterior paint and lipstick, and am a sucker normally for red leather, but this looks like it’s had a trip to Halfords.
If you go for it, I would get them to give you replacement std exhaust tips, and maybe even replacement leather interior leg rests and then it would look good !
We are all different, so if I have offended - apologies - not the intent!

Good suggestion re asking them to replace the tips!
The interior is subtle in the flesh or at least it was in the showroom. The red speaker grilles are out of sight in the car so weren’t particularly noticeable:
I love the maroon exterior carbon. With the Nero black Daytona paint it looks bronze in the sunlight and the carbon elements play on this.
They are willing to arrange a paint correction/detail/ceramic finish as part of the deal but no real movement on price…will suggest the tips though as a middle ground and see how I get on. Test drive booked later today
Thanks!

Nice car!
Only two V12VSs were made in Nero Daytona - and I’ve got the other one
Mine has yellow instead of red bits and standard black carbon. No B&O but I do have the lightweight seats. I find the LWs to be the most comfortable seats of any car I’ve owned. I had sports in my previous V8VS and they have me backache. See how you get on with them over a long test drive.
I’ve had mine since 2014 and is a keeper. Fabulous cars. I would lose the red exhaust tips but the rest is great.
A secondary decat makes them sound awesome. Have fun!

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
Took it out for a good test drive over lunch, and wow! What a car! When I started it up I gave it a little rev and my wife nearly
had a heart attack
It’s a completely unfair test drive. I smiled for 30 mins then chucked my wallet at the salesman and told him I’d take it
The engine noise was phenomenal. The ride was firm but sure…and even with damp roads it put the power down really well.
After a brief chat they kindly agreed to return the exhaust tips to stock, and have kindly given me the option to return the speaker grilles back to black…I’m going to live with them for a while and decide later on them.
Pick it up Wednesday next week all things being well. I’m now like a kid at Christmas waiting for his new toy!

And to hear you have had yours since 2014 is brilliant. I hope to keep this one for good 👍

When things go that easily it does make you wonder if the dick Lovett sales person has read this thread before you got there ;-)
Congratulations! Try driving it with the parcel shelf flat in the boot for a bit more noise. I removed fuse 15 on day one to keep the exhaust valves/flapsopen. Many fit a switch to do this. I’ve just not done it yet. Got a secondary decat three years ago. Amazing sound with that done. Just fitted some Michelin PS4S - seem to be a bit better than the Pirellis, will know more after some more miles. Here’s two pics of my interior to show the black speaker covers.

Thanks Phil! Some good tips there. I can’t believe the sound can be improved. It was intoxicating already so can’t imagine how good it sounds after a decat. Might ask the dealer if they could do this in advance.The yellow looks amazing. They had a new Vantage there with yellow stitching and it looked stunning.
Really appreciate the tips and pointers - excited to be joining the V12S club
