No I don't mean sex appeal. A few years back a group got together with their beloved V12 Vantages at Works. Do you still have the car and if not why did it go and what did you change it for? Finally do you still miss it.

I know of at least one couple who still have theirs. The beautiful Hardly Green V12V.

Still got mine - done 25k+ miles in it across most of Europe and apart from a replacement gearbox (under warranty) pretty much faultless, no rattles, and still puts a big grin on my face when I see it...and go for a spin down the autobahn...;)

Yes Darren I was one of the few originals that attended that fine day and yes I very much regret letting my lovely Lightning Silver beauty go.

In fact Works gave out a commemorative picture frame to mark that event which sits proudly beside me as I type.

Only Aston I can say I've regretted letting go after I went off on yet another hair brain idea of motoring magnitude.

Many that where there that day have long since moved on but Phil still has the Mako Beast .

Great car…….thumbup

I was there and haven't moved on. Oh wait, I don't have an Aston. Either way, you've not got rid of me yet. I remember the hardly green car too and the nice lady owner that I spoke to. I'll have to see if I still have the photo that was taken of everyone.

I sneaked in with my V8 - within a year I'd bought a V12 - still have it smile

I wasnt at the event but I do recall it taking place..

I no longer have my V12V, I won't go in to why I let her go.. Do I regret it, yes.. Simply the best car I've ever owned...
She's up for sale again at the moment , I keep looking but think a V12VS is the way to go..

There is a great photo on the original thread of all the cars lined up outside works. How many times have have we said this car is a keeper only to change it in a few years. Ed I can't be too sympathetic about your loss given your current steer.😅

Didn't go, but I still have mine and am in no hurry to sell. 50 months old with 22,000 miles on the clock.
