Got these shots whilst at Works earlier........

Receptionist told me that last week the there was also another red Zagato where the GT12 was, so the whole showroom was lined up.

Wow, 5 Vanquish Zagatos in one place, let alone sold through a single dealership is very impressive indeed! smile

That Viridian Green GT12 must surely be the one that was up for auction at Bonhams back in May - See Lot 243 on page 144

Sure is, I saw it at Bonhams when it didn't shift and it still seems to be sticking.

From memory the reserve at Bonhams was £400k, but then any EU buyer needed to add VAT and the buyers fee which would mean it's circa 500k........too much IMHO, especially for a left hooker. I'm sure there's a deal to be done on that if anyone is keen and has the means. I know is was (possibly still is) owned by a Zurich Dealer, it was never a customer car and has never been registered.

I did take the liberty of having a sit in it.....doubt I'll get another chance biggrin

Compared with the GT8s, the GT12s are seriously overpriced (it's all relative!). I doubt whether any of them are selling at the moment

Wow, that is some line up cloud9

Anyone got any idea which blue that is? Is it a special Zagato blue or Zaffre or Cobalt or something completely different.

They had bloody dozens of the things when we went on a factory tour a few weeks back. Common as muck.

Yeah I just noticed that too.....I'm sure that's been changed from what I originally called it.....in fact I'm damn sure..!

Pretty sure it's regular Cobalt. I took the Cobalt sample out and held it next to it and they seemed identical to me.

That Zagato Vanquish is just incredible. The best of the Zagatos since the DB4 GT Z in my opinion. Shame they didn't put a manual box in the GT12 but still an awesome car - but not at that price. Has there ever been a back to back test with the GT8 - how do they compare. GT8s are nearing list price and there are some nice ones out there.

Agreed albeit I also like the Vantage Zagatos

It's a shame about the lack of a manual gearbox for the GT12 but I think it was WTDoom who discovered from AM that it wouldn't be possible to retrofit because of the GT12 CF waterfall

I've not seen a back to back test of GT12 and the GT8. Only anecdotal evidence from AM employees who have driven both and one lucky couple who have both. But as ever I guess it will be down to personal choice. But even so difficult (almost impossible) to justify a £200k price differential between them.

So either one has to go up a long way, one cone down a long way or, more likely, a combination of the two

Probably, but it's sensible to change as it is the sort of thing that gets websites blacklisted by content filters.

Although the OP posted the title in a light hearted manner the Mods were quite correct to change the name of the topic.
Porn has no place on a car forum,or anywhere else for that matter.
Porn is not a victimless pursuit,it degrades both society and those that take place in it.
The decline in morality should not to be encouraged or applauded.
