Yes, I saw, a sorry end to a great car, hope there’s a quick resolution. Are there any 7sp manual V12V available in the US?
I’ll update the Register. I few have gone over the years cry
How many have we lost so far?
Hi Kev, it's very difficult to learn of these cars being written off or scrapped, but i know of six that have gone.

5. The 82 CBE cars you mention is correct. These are Carbon Black II (two) Edition cars vins ranging from 866 to 1342 with plaques stating Carbon Black Edition.
Phil - hope you are well mate - as you know I have #889, so one of the 2012 Carbon Black II Edition cars. I have it on very (VERY) good authority that actually only 52 were made in total, (NOT 82) of which only 19 are RHD. So mine is one of 33 as it is LHD. If you want proof offline - so as not to embarrass my source - let me know.
Okay, to clear this one up, there are 82 CBE II cars, but only 52 of these are actually painted metallic Carbon Black. The other 30 cars are painted as follows:-

Satin AML Carbon Black - 19
Azurite Black - 5
Hammerhead Silver - 2
Flugplatz Blue - 1
Morning Frost White - 1
Red Lion - 1
Skyfall Silver - 1

Liam - In total there are 56 UK AML carbon black painted cars. But to confuse things, not all Carbon Black painted cars are CBE's! They are standard V12V's in CB paint only...

Thank you again Phil.

Finally (I think), is therefore my understanding correct, that the total (1,200) number of V12V cars does include;

Dec. 2009 - Carbon Black (first) - Special Edition 192 cars,
2012 - Carbon Black (second) - Special Edition 82 cars,
2012 - Carbon Black - Limited Edition 40 cars (with numbered sill plaques) (Most to USA. 9 RHD. 31 LHD)

and
2013 - Centenary - Limited Edition 3 cars (with numbered sill plaques),

and therefore all of the other V12V Limited and Special Edition models, are NOT included in the 1,200 total?

The V12V Coupe (manual) is a Limited Edition. Is my understanding correct, that they do NOT have numbered sill plaques?




Correct Jon!!

Phil,

You kindly confirmed that the four editions at the top of this post are correct.

An amazing coincidence has now come to light, which does make me wonder about our accuracy.
There now seem to be two batches of 19 Satin Black cars.

You have clarified the 2012 Special Edition CBE ll as 82 cars, and mentioned that 19 are Satin AML Carbon Black.

The 2012 Limited Edition CBE ll (numbered sill plaques) of 40 cars most to USA, also had 19 Satin Black cars. This number was clarified in the for sale advert, on the fire damage topic.

Are there really two lots of 19 Satin Black cars ?
Both CBE ll, but one lot of 19 being Special Edition, and the other batch of 19 being the USA numbered Limited Edition.
It seems too much of a coincidence.

Are the 40 numbered (mostly) USA cars, definitely in addition to the 82 special edition cars, making an overall total of 122 CBE ll cars?

I am now wondering whether the 40 USA cars, might possibly be included in the 82 car total.

Hi there, thanks for the post and wow nice car! I was just making reference to the car that's just been lost in a fire and was asking if there were any potential V12VS 7sp for sale he could purchase as a replacement.
My Register just deals with the original V12V 6sp manuals as it's taking me long enough to find those lol without including the V12VS's!

Hi Jon, okay sorry for the confusion, i've now had a detailed look at the Register. The reason the 40 cars with number plaques are nicknamed "The Final Forty" is because these were the last 40 Carbon Black Editions built!! I never actually realised this/made the connection between the two! The below number plaque states they are CB cars.

So yes, there are only 82 not 122 CBE II's. And there are only 19 Satin AML Carbon Black cars.

For your records, the "Final Forty" were delivered to, and their colours were:-

USA - 28 (Satin AML Carbon Black - 16, Azurite - 5, AML CB - 4, Skyfall - 1, Red Lion - 1, Flugplatz - 1)
Canada - 1 (Satin AML Carbon Black)
Chile - 1 (Satin AML Carbon Black)
Australia - 6 (AML CB - 4, Hammerhead - 2)
Japan - 3 (AML CB - 2, MFW - 1)
Switzerland - 1 (Satin AML Carbon Black)

Thank you once again Phil, for your detailed explanation.
I can now edit an error on my table.

Hoping to publish the table soon. Just waiting for the final V600 to be produced.

Hi Chaps, old thread resurrection.

I kinda lost the will to live after a few pages so apologies if it has already been answered:

Is there a list anywhere of the V12S production numbers by colour? Reason I am asking is due to an interest in the teal car at Works. Not seen one before so was wondering how rare that colour is?

Thanks for any assistance with this. Cheers.

In terms of Teal V12 Vantage S’s, I presume you are referring to the colour Ocellus Teal. As far as I am aware there are 3 S coupes in that colour in the UK, with another S coupe in the US, so quite a rare colour indeed.

Well, well, would you believe it ?

I had s look at the Works website, saw one of the only 3 UK V12S Ocellus Teal Vantages, and also noticed for sale, a V8S Ocellus Teal.

Certainly a beautiful colour.

When the V12VS came out with the new colour palette I went on the AM configurator and Ocellus Teal really stood out as the colour to have. Years later I can’t believe only 3 cars were specced in the UK this colour. Ive seen one Vantage in this colour and in the sun it is epic.
I suppose people didn’t have the balls to go for it, much like Mako when the original V12V was produced (only 7 in uk).
Cheers YT for the info!

Jon......any sign of your “table”?

Btw, the Register is 867 cars strong currently, only another 333 cars to find worldwide!

I can post now, but as mentioned, wanted to do that after the final 1st generation Vantage has been built.

News about the V600 has been very quiet recently, and I have not seen any photographs of a V600 Roadster.
Seven Coupes and seven Roadsters, assembled at Wellesbourne.

Perhaps Mr. Doom would be kind enough to tell us, if the very last Vantage has now been completed.

( 867 - a remarkable effort. )

Has anyone had any luck in getting production volumes for the V12S (SS & Manual) ?

I've tried but nobody wants to tell me. I have no idea why AML want to keep this a secret, for what purpose ?

I'd be very much interested to get production V12VS production numbers too (SS/manual/coupe/roadster/AMR).
Phil mentioned
1204 - V12 Vantage Coupe S - Last VIN = S03004 (and X73272 prod dev car)

333 - V12 Vantage Roadster S - Last VIN = S23003
But that was in his post on Page 33 of this thread dated September 2017 and I guess a few more were produced in the meantime.
You mentioned in the same post this came from "a reliable source", any chance you could get your reliable source to enlighten us? smile

My V12VS Coupe is VIN S03048. Manual, Onyx Black/Black, 595 BHP, AMR bodykit and wheels, carbon everything except for the parcel shelf.

Well done to AM Cambridge for keeping up their tradition of special cars by throwing everything at mine smile

I'm told it was one of the last ones ever made and has an 18 plate having sat at the dealer with list of £210k (all the extras and AMR options) from Oct/Nov 2017.
