Hi t0s, Glad you decided to get the V12V. People are defo starting to keep these as shown by the lack of them in the classifieds, particularly in Europe and the US too.
With prices of these holding during 2014 and going up on average by £5k during 2015, it will be interesting to see what effect supply and demand has on these magnificent cars during 2016!

I thought it was going to be under 'W' for "Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful" but V for V12 was fair enough. One of the few (maybe only) times where they showed the whole clip. And it was wonderful.
And for those who missed it - its published on the Top Gear 'FaceTube' webpage - v=5Q0Svvdrx_Edivetheworld said:
I think my time for a V12 Vantage has passed, should of done it when i got my V8 but here is still hoping. As people have said i think if anything the prices will rise. Unless the "new one" is pretty seriously awesome!But this clip i play every couple of days just to dream....best thing on Youtube....well apart from my Vantage version!

Have you taken a V12 for a test drive yet? It might help you make up your mind Edited by Quarterly on Saturday 2nd January 08:27

And its for that very reason i dont! I buy my cars outright so for me if i have the cash i would buy, if i dont then i just look. But i certainly dont drive other wise i sell children or remove the breast implants i paid for 2 months ago for the missus!!!
Just sell one of them! Children that is,not the breast implants as that would look rather odd.petop said:

Petop, if it's any consolation here is a random sampling of comments I have received upon arriving home with the V12v (carbon black) after trading in the V8 (Onyx black)But this clip i play every couple of days just to dream....best thing on Youtube....well apart from my Vantage version!
- oh is that the new one?
- those vents are ugly
- so, what's the difference again?
- why is it so loud?
-you're not going to make take those photos again are you?

I just love the bonnet vents for me one of the best points on the car, i know some hate them though, so go and buy a DB9!

Especially as they have a purpose. Just look at the heatwave coming out of those after a spirited drive!
Oh fully agree, and so do other family members after a few days of getting used to the new looks (including the front dam, aggressive side sills and ducktail)Now that I look back at the photos of the old girl (4.3L) - that's just what it looks like. A (perry) little, old girl
Just wanted to bump this thread to thank the OP.
I'd seen the car a couple of days before the thread popped up, and was dithering, procrastinating and generally failing to make up my mind.
The thread gave me just the nudge I needed, though I'm not sure the sudden surge in interest helped price negotiation from my perspective!
Picked her up on Christmas Eve, and finally a sunny evening and a clean car coincided, hence the pic and the opportunity to say hello.
Have to admit to being very much an Aston virgin. If only there was some sort of event I could attend to meet up with other owners.....

(Incidentally, can't praise the Dealer, SVR, highly enough. Really good experience from start to finish, and still getting calls now to check all is Ok, help arrange servicing, warranty etc. Official Noble Dearer now too!)
