Thank you! It doesn't look quite so mint at the moment, you can see the clean bits where the Le Mans stickers have been taken off 🤣

Excellent choice Lee, Magma is a fantastic cherry red colour that really suits the car. Really don’t know why more people didn’t spec this colour.
Plus the interior is just fab on this car!

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!

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

The Vantage RS concept car had / was meant to have, a retractable rear wing.

Hi Jase. S00012 was a “Product Development” car and as such I’ve learned that some of these are mules for lots of things and when their use has finished they are disposed of. It’s not the intention of A! To ever retail these, so quite likely the official retail Magma red cars will be 6 not 7.

Are chassis numbers consecutive, can you tell how late or early ones car is?

Chassis numbers are indeed consecutive by model line and body style. As the V12 Vantage was a special, both coupe and roadster chassis numbers start with Sxxxxx. 177’s also use the S chassis number prefix. V8 Vantage’s have a C prefix for coupes and a D for roadsters.

This makes me think that the V12 Vantage model should perhaps be added to the table of Vantage Limited and Special Editions.

Did every Vantage Special Edition model, use an S chassis number prefix (e.g. N430 and GT12)?

[vpr]

So do we know what the last chassis number is of the last original V12. I guess a 2013 regd car?

Hi Jon39 , when are you releasing you Ltd edt table?

The 400 and 420 didn't, so suspect the 430 didn't either.

Yes, the last numbered V12V manual 6sp is S01376 and was delivered new to Peru! The last cars were produced mid-2013.

I thought that the most appropriate time, would be after the very last Vantage has been built (ie. V600). I understand that will be in the next few months (presuming all 14 have now been sold).

My topic went on for a long time and seemed to be popular, so I have now put the information into table form, which makes it much easier to read.

[Mako V12V]

There was a picture online this week of a V600 I think at the factory. This is S03183, showing as a Vantage AMR V12 with AM28 engine and 7sp Manual box.
I also have details of S03199 but this is an AMR V12 auto, AM28 engine and 7sp auto box.

So we’re Uk and ROW cars chassis numbers integrated or have their own sequence?

Mine is 1114. I thought I’d given you my details but can’t see it anywhere in this thread?

The cars were built by order sequence, as such they are/were not built in order of the market they were to be sold in and therefore chassis numbers are integrated.
