Phil, I know you already have this on the register - chassis 00333, but I'm not sure if David ever got any photos to you.

Taken today at an AMOC meeting in Bristol

cheers, LBS

Thanks for the photo Tim. It's the first one I have for #333. I just need a photo of the rear and interior now!
Plus, I'm also missing the following info for the car:-

Headlining and carpet colours
Seat type
Audio system

Cheers - Phil

Thank you to recent contributions from observations in the UK and around the world!

It's time for an update. The Register has jumped on quite quickly recently now that I've discovered Flickr holds nearly 10,000 V12V photos, although not all contribute to additions to the Register. I've managed to scan through 55 pages so far which has greatly swelled the number of European V12V's held on the Register. Unfortunately I'm unable to verify vin numbers with these but I can obtain unique reg plates.

I'm yet to find a solution as to how to obtain the last 3 vin numbers from foreign reg plates!

The Register now holds 327 vehicle records of varying completeness as follows:-

Prototypes = 8
Vin 001-1000 = 224
Unknown vin = 95 (there is potential for a small number of these to be duplicates due to plate changes)

Of the 95 unknowns their country locations are:-

UK - 17
Austria - 1
Australia - 5
Belgium - 9
Switzerland - 4
Czech Repunlic - 1
Germany - 22
France - 11
Hong Kong - 2
Luxemborg - 5
Monaco - 1
Netherlands - 7
Saudi - 1
S Africa - 2
UAE - 2
USA - 4
Unknown - 1


Hope you find this of interest, and keep the contributions coming

Cheers - Phil

On a 30 minute drive to Heathrow the other day, I saw 2 V12Vs; a white one I'm afraid I didn't catch the plate of and another dark silver that was KX59 AEJ I think (maybe you can find out the details on HPI or some checker).

Hi Tim, AEJ is #146, featured in Evo mag January 2009! The only details i'm missing for #146 is date of first reg ( although i could hpi for this) and what audio system it has - dont suppose you noticed did you

Thanks for your posting!

I assume this is a photoshop job - will the register confirm?

Dave - great photos and backdrop! May I use these to add to my V12V Register photo library?

[Mako V12V]

A figure of 1300 has been mentioned, albeit with the extra 300 going to supply US demand. UK numbers "should" end up around 250 cars??!!

Any of you guys in Cheshire and able to help me out in the next couple of days?
I was informed this morning number 991 is rolling down the producton line this week.
Also saw my first Cobalt Blue V12V in the flesh (reg GTR1) sorry I was not allowed to take the VIN

What did it look like in Cobalt Blue ?

Bluish

Phil, have you got details of 0985, Flame Orange? It was in the foyer of the factory yesterday and I have numerous pics (inside and out)

cheers, LBS

Thanks for that Tim.....great for my Register as it's the highest one I have.....but not great for me and now I want to change my Mako beast for an Orange beast!!!

[Mako V12V]

George - Orange trumps Purple and besides, the purple one has the wrong seats and facia trim!

Those CF rear light infills are just wrong - OTT and spoil the rear

Agree on those lights! They look like something project kahn would do. Same with the wheels

OMG I agree with George on what looks good and what doesnt! I feel dirty!

Well I actually think the rear lights look great (as a contrast to the Flame Orange though) and also like the whole look of the car with the CF bits on them! Mmmmmm.......

Do you know about this one?
Spotted at Goodwood with a whole new take on the front number plate

Edited by mikey k on Tuesday 3rd July 16:50

Hi Mikey, thanks for the photo, yes I have this one....the owner came on here March time when he had just purchased it, although it had the standard number plate fitting.

I also have a Monaco V12V with the plate in the same position albeit on the near side (although it's a LHD car). I dont think it's too bad!

For your records I am the proud and fortunate owner of :

Ist Reg: 21 05 10
Mine since: 23 11 10
Chassis: 342
Reg: GB 09 AML
Located: Devon

p.s. Love it!
pp.s. Looking at the V5C (Log book) for my Chassis number I noticed there is a 'Sound Level' section. Interestingly the 'Drive by (dB(A)) for the V12 Aston and my Diesel Range Rover Sport are identical....... Who was kidding who?!

Thanks for the info, YHM!

Robbo - congrats on your purchase! No.858 I presume? Do JCT still have a plethora of V12V's for sale, lol.

Got another one in Flame Orange (Carbon Edition)

Number: 952
Reg: F AM 1702 (factory car)
Full number: -SCFGBBCFXCGS00952

Alain - wow thanks for the info, one of only a few European cars where I have the vin number. I have many European V12V's put only identifiable by the reg number and I've to find out how to obtain the vin from reg only abroad!

I've sent you email in the hope of obtaining further info for #952

Cheers - Phil

Phil, Sad day today. My P&J had to go today as part of the deal on the new V12VR and whilst at the showroom, Grange Exeter, I saw a New Hammerhead Silver V12V with chasis number 991. Is that the highest number so far?

Hi Ian, it's the highest number for my Register! Do you have any more details, spec sheet or photos?
Thanks

[Mako V12V]

AMDBSNick said:

Morning Phil. Just back from Stratstone Hagley. White with Obsidian. Tried to get spec sheet but was sold so no good. Wait for it.......... Chassis No 1020

Thanks Nick. It's no shock that they've gone past #1000 now but as long as they dont leave production open ended then hopefully numbers wont get higher than 1200 cars.
Which white was it...stratus (flat) or Morn Frost? Any photos or additional spec?
I'm struggling to pick these new cars up for my Register as they tend not to be advertised anywhere
