Hi Dave, thanks for your post, yes I picked this one up for the first time last May when AM Newcastle we’re selling it.
Any further info relating to previous reg plates, owners etc if you have anything for the notes section would be great!

Roll up roll up..... here we have today a unique Satin Treal Green V12V in the USA (sadly or i may have bought it!). The only one worldwide in this colour!! Vin number 0925 and the 817th on the Register i've found.

Here's the link for anyone looking to buy! https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/aston-martin/...

Hello from Sweden,

I just bought a V12 Vantage with VIN ending at 1370 MY 2013 in Germany. It is a Centenary
Edition ? I had a V8 Vantage before and always wanted a V12 so last week I went to Germay to buy a nice V12S MY 16. I saw this beautiful car at the dealer and could not resist it so i bought this one instead and drove it back to Sweden. Is this a very late production of the Vantage ?

Thank you all for a very nice and informative forum.

Best Regards
Pär

Any idea what the registration dates for the Magma Red cars are? I know mine was June 2009 (KX09 LHK) and the Car magazine review car (KX09 GXF) must have been May 2009 so both early enough to be the 2009 Salon Prive show car?

It 'could' have been mine which would be quite cool...

Just trying to find a little background on my KX reg motor!

Hello Pär, thanks for your post, and congrats on this special purchase. Is this the car AM Kronberg were selling....number 98 of 100 as shown on the sill plate?

AM produced 100 Centenary cars during 2013, three of which were V12V's. The vins are 1370 (no.98), 1371 (no.99) and 1372 (no.100). All Meteorite silver cars to German spec.

You are indeed correct, one of the very last V12V 6-speed manuals. 1370 is actually the 4th last car, there only being vin 1376 after these 3 centenary cars, and this one went to Peru in S.America.

The only info i'm missing on 1370 for the Register is the engine number...AM10 ????? - if you could help with this, that would be great!

So many congrats again, hope this one will be a keeper for you

Well done on owning 1 of 7 UK magma red V12V's. Yours is the 3rd UK car. The reg dates I have are:-

01/04/09 - 008 (GXF) - info - Car mag Jan 09; Octane mag Jan 09; Car mag Jun 09; Top Gear BBC2 Aug 09; AutoExpress Sept 09. For sale at Lancaster Reading, January 2012.

01/04/09 - 012 (GXA) - AM development car, scrapped during 2012.

12/06/09 - 021 (LHK) - For sale at AM Grange Welwyn @ 24450m, September 2013. For sale at Top 555 Ltd @ 29000m, May 2015. Did you buy it from Top 555?

Nov '09 - 286 & 304
Feb '10 - 344
Mar '10 - 333

I would've thought the "Show car" would be 008.

Hope you find the above useful

Par , a picture would be nice?? Thanks.

Jase and another of yours please, Magma is just lovely.

[JaseB]

I wondered if the press car would have been peppered with stone chips so they might use another?!
Also, yes, I bought it from Top 555, must be 3 years ago now.
Engine number is this btw Am1025125 it was never on the V5 for some reason...

Thanks guys great photos.

Jase that looks mint.

[Mako V12V]

Thanks for the pictures chaps, and the engine numbers. It’s nice to complete a record on the Register.
Jase - yes there’s around 10 or so V12Vs showing as unknown engine numbers, even on a list I was provided with. How did you get your engine number in the end?

The Register has 832 records currently so only need to find the remaining 368!

And this week pickup up another U.K. car, one owner from new so only just on the market. Just need another 47 U.K. car now from 380ish cars.

HAHA! Way to go Mike......they’re in an awkward position to see too.

Surprisingly, I’ve found some odd anomalies and omissions within Gaydon’s records when compiling this Register which my contact is trying to resolve or improve on lol

[Wayne95]

There’s a manual quantum silver 2012 car at HR Owen Cheltenham

Didn’t get the Reg whilst there , sorry
