Loving the AM mats too

Looks fantastic!

Is it either Kestral tan or Madagascar tan? If not I'm stumped.

Definitely an AML option?

Well you may be correct, but dont know what shades those are you mentioned. The dealer in the US advertises the interior as "Bentley Cognac"!

All I know is that the exterior/interior colour scheme really does do it for me...double

I'm delighted to say I've just obtained my first New Zealand V12V, also a Mako Blue example #301 and which was probably on the production line at the same time as my #307!
Thanks to Mark at AM Auckland for the info!

did you see Top Gear last night?? apparently Slash (Guns n Roses) has a V12V

I recorded it, not seen it yet!
Has anyone got his email address or know if he's a PH forum member?!

I follow Slash on Twitter. Not sure why..... He had a DBS and was super excited about changing it for the V12 Vantage. I have to agree, its an outstanding car!!

The V12V gives me a grin factor I never experianced with my 997GT3! They are superb cars.
Can you tweet Mr Slash and ask him for his last 3 VIN numbers and some info on his V12V?!

Mako,
Could you give us the distribution per colour ?
Thanks

Yes, I'll have a count, although due to my lack of knowledge on pivot tables will have to add them up the old fashioned way!
Unfortunately, even though I have over 200 records now, not all of them have colours listed because of where the info came from.

[Mako V12V]

Thanks a lot Mako for the color breakdown.
I understand now why I do not see that many blue coming up for sale.
I guess, I will just have to be patient...

Michael - from memory, 5 or 6 of the Mako blue ones are outside the UK too, including one in New Zealand!

Phil,

Not sure how you acquired your original material so not sure if you have my details.

Hi Al, I have very few details on your car as I wasn't doing the Register last year at the V12V Owners Day.
If you can ping me an email i'll send you my Register entries for both our cars so can fill in the blanks!
Cheers - Phil

[Mako V12V]

Today's find is a different one - LHD Quantum Silver #329 in Hilversum, Holland! I'm really liking the contemporary interiors and this one has Chestnut Tan leather with bitter chocolate headlining and carpets

If anyone would like the full details for this car, let me know.

[Mako V12V]

Craig - congrats!! and thanks for posting up your spec and photos, much appreciated The wow-factor certainly doesn't diminish!

Yeti - haha, i know what you're saying, but I am coming across a few non-black interiors. I still dont know which green J186 is from my posting of 7 Feb nor which vin it is

Btw, I now have 234 V12V's on the Register!

[Mako V12V]

Hi Matt - great info and pictures - thank you very much

Couple of questions, are your seats lightweight with alcantara or leather inserts? Are you the first owner - who was the supplying dealer?

You've listed your calipers as red - are they just dirty in the pictures as they dont look red??!!

+2!

+2+1=3

How many uk cars have paint on them?
How many have carbon fibre?
Why hide such a marvellous feature?!

And to George - get a grip and acquire some taste

[Mako V12V]

Ok, thanks for the light-hearted banter chaps but back on topic.........

Does anyone know how I can identify vin numbers from foreign plates?

I have a good 25 cars on my register with Belgian, Dutch, Swiss etc reg plates!!
