A long shot, perhaps, but if any of you is aware of what new stock their local dealer has, I'd appreciate a PM.

Cheers smile

I think Grange have a carbon black edition at Brentwood and a Morning Frost at Welwyn. The MF has lightweight seats, B&O sound and alcantara steering wheel.

Well, it seems all remaining cars are black, white or silver/grey.

The Morning Frost one at Welwyn is a beauty.

It is a bit depressing when you can't find the colour you want, I'd really like one in cobalt blue in a year or so but only ever seen one advertised. Even then it didn't have the seats or audio that I'd prefer, secondhand beggars can't be choosers I suppose..
Maybe worth waiting just a few more months until the new centenary version and V12V 'S' arrive on the scene, a few trade ins appearing on the forecourts?

I believe the cobalt blue was not a colour available on the V12V. It would have had to be a special order paint. I only know of one in that colour. So pretty un-probable one will come up. May be MakoV12V will be able to confirm.

If you don't want Black or White you have to buy new these day, and that includes most decent marques.

Indeed. I was contacted yesterday by my dealer who offered me an amazing deal on a new V12, but only black, grey or white. he mentioned it was the end of the line for the V12 (ie AM not making any more) and the offer is part of the clearing out stock (apparently).

Needless to say no amount of man maths is powerful enough to overcome female colour preference so the chances of a V12V replacing my V8 on the drive are remote to say the least, sadly.

The only UK cobalt blue V12V that I know of is S00817, sold recently by JCT600 Leeds. I have found another one with Belgium plates on, but cannot obtain the vin:-

It's new I am looking at but, as mentioned by other posters, they are clearing stock of what is now an obsolete model.

I went to look at the JCT car but it had standard audio.

Do you know if any Volcano red cars were registered in the UK?

Before the end of March there was a £50K discount plus trade in incentives. I still believe you can secure around £40K.

That seems a fair chunk. I thought the list was about 130k, must take a new car very close to secondhand ones in the classifieds scratchchin No, must resist, be patient rotate
