I am wanting the driver’s seat on the Vantage V12s to be manual operation even if just back and forth any help with parts and how this can be completed would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't think any Gaydon Aston Martins have had manual seats, even the lightweight seats are powered, so there won't be a simple AM parts swap available.

You could have a look on 6SOL to see how Redpants/Telum01 did his lightweight seats, he installed new runners to fit his non-standard seats.

Have to ask, why do you want manual seats?

Wasn't this an option on GT12 - pay more for added lightness? I think there was an option to remove the motors.

Thanks for replying
yes looks like Gt12 could be an option around £1,575 and how to find out if fits. i guess should lol.

reason i have bucket seats and each time i get in and out need to move the seat back and forth and the electric takes too long sat there waiting.
thanks

A set of these may be cheaper... and easier to reverse should you come to sell the car.
