Good luck with this. It’s relatively easy to get say 10%, but be prepared for it to be a long hard slog, albeit interesting.

I’ve been compiling my V12V Register since January 2011 and still only have 64%, being 767 of 1199 cars!!

A suggestion please.

Would your list look good in order of Plaque Numbers ?

It nearly is, but might gradually become random.

May I call you M. ?

For my Limited & Special Editions list, I am trying to include an accurate sill plaque wording.

Would the following be correct for the N400 ?

'085 of 480'

I can use your own number, if you would like me to ( I don't know it ).
Any idea what the highest number might be, because I do not know how many were built ?
Think fewer than the 240 Coupes and 240 Roadsters planned.

M is a good handle cheers

http://astonmartins.com/car/v8-vantage-n400/ states:

"AML supposedly limited production of the N400 to just 480 examples (240 coupes, 240 Roadsters) – why 480? well that’s how many seconds are in 8 minutes, the time that the N400 could lap the Nürburgring. Almost all cars were built during March and April 2008. It is now believed that far fewer cars were actually built making the N400 especially desirable to collectors."

However ,I think there were 240 coupes made as number 240 is for sale here:

As it stands i don't know the total number of n400 roadsters, the highest plaque number I have come across is 185

Plaque description format is here:

Mine is “040 of 240”

Thank you M. Very thorough.

I will amend my list. Am doing a table which looks much smarter, so when complete, will do a post to resurrect the topic.
There was trouble over the N24, but 'the people have spoken' now.

M.

I have just realised that as your sill plaque is 'of 240', presumably then there must be an identically numbered sill plaque on an N400 Coupe. Would that be right?

On the N420 cars, they numbered 'of 420', ie. combining the total of Roadsters and Coupes.

Hi Jon
Yes both N400 coupe and roadster sill plaques have the same format "... of 240"

But we don't know for sure if there are 240 N400 roadsters

Does anyone know about or can confirm that 1 of the orange coupes was resprayed black a couple of years ago. I'm sure i read a post about it and it had a late production number.
