Looks terrific, whatever then price. Description implies lightweight seats but also refers to standard sport seats (and looks like sport seats in the photograph). The lightweight seats are an essential item to me but it is your preference that counts.

Quirk of the AM approved system it spits out all the standard spec then lists the options so you cna end up with a 4 seater Vantage 2 light weights and two sports

Those are light weights looking at the seat base and side support.

They look like the light weight seats to me, with full leather rather than the inserts with alcantara.
For you Mako boys i would say the price is right.
For me i would say it should be priced at around £89k at a main dealer.
Dont forget Sagpack has just bought a 2010 car with 3k miles for £83k.
But i do love it! would prefer the seats with the alcantara and piano wood center,but hey its a great colour.
John G1 and MakoV12 iam very jealous!

Can someone find out the chassis number's last 3 digits?

And it's not overpriced at all. The price reflects the rarity, splendour and magnificence of a Mako V12V!!

Called in at Grange today about something else and had a quick look at the car in question. Quite a few stone chips for just 2.6k miles!!! Originally parked between two black cars and it looked silver - thought I had the wrong car. They pulled it away from the other cars and suddenly the splendour of Mako Blue shone through - it looked brilliant. Oh and it does have lightweight seats and the VIN was 535.

Also saw a brand new black V12V just being delivered from the factory with a VIN ending 864 so looks like not that far away from the end of the run - if they keep to 1000.

Another interesting snippet is that alloy facias are no longer being offered on new cars. It is piano black as standard or your choice of wood. A real shame because the alloy facia in the Mako V12V looked fantastic.

DB9 Ian P ,Thanks for the info. But where the pictures?

[DB9 Ian P]

Doh!!! First rule and forgot it - definite sign of old age and probably explains which Aston I drive

I do think it looks better in real life rather than on screen but if you go on the Grange website there are 9 pictures of it there.

Just been told by a good friend in the trade that top end cars are selling for 5-10k below book ......which makes that Mako V12Vworth 85-88k retail.....it's 15k overpriced !!!!

BTW Grange have a new V12V at the Boat Show, near Sunseeker at £112k

Ian P, thanks very much for the mako info. I don't suppose you know which black #864 was do you? I'm trying to compile a database of colours/pictures against chassis #.

[DB9 Ian P]

My guess would be Onyx rather than storm as it didn't look to have have any red fleck showing but it was a dull afternoon so may just have been missing the gold fleck. It wasn't a Carbon Black edition - it had graphite wheels.

Cheers Ian. Btw my mako has the alloy 510 facia and I love it. Does not show up dust, fingerprints or light scratches.
I wonder why it's being discontinued?
