V12Vantage R auction.
Discussion
That's odd that it's up for sale in an auction only two months after Works sold it. It was advertised at Works for £95k, so lets say it actually sold for closer £90k. I'd assume whoever buys it will get the balance of the timeless warranty too.
The market still seems "OK" at the moment for non crazy stuff (Zags etc), so I'm pretty sure Works would have either taken it back at a pretty good price, or would have agreed a SOR basis to achieve more, so I wonder why the auction route.
If I didn't already have the V12SMR then I would have snapped this one up at Works. I nearly bought it in December 2017 when it was up at HWM, but they wouldn't shift from the £130ish number from memory, and the offer at the time on my 2013 V12V to trade was shocking, hence why I left it alone.
Stunning car though, I'd love to have it.

I remember seeing a post in one of the Facebook AM groups from the guy who bought it, sometime in May. I don’t think he’s a regular poster on here though. But who knows what has happened since. We are living in extraordinary times. Best Regards

Can't see that being likely. In the grand scheme it's a pretty desirable car in a lovely combo, so I very much doubt any dealer would struggle to sell it.As others have said, we live in extraordinary times at the moment so perhaps the buyer just needs to get out of it, or maybe they just don't like it.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if a MD ends up buying it and we see it back in a dealer in the next few weeks.

It is for sale by a private seller in Bristol i wonder what AM Bristol would offer for it then....
Bristol have sold a similar car in the last few days, if memory serves me correctly it was a year or two younger..... rubbish picture below of it, it was priced in the eighties so guessing it was an auto.
As others have said prices do seem to be holding up despite the economy, I see on auto trader the V12 Vantage listings are down to 30 cars 17 of them are manuals.
I’ve been watching this daily and putting the ‘ Six Figure ‘ cars to one side the manuals appear to be slower sellers.
