Yes thanks. thumbup I had been looking for some time and this car offers all the spec I had been looking for, I called in to see the car before the video was made and then went back as soon as possible after the video. biggrin The colour will be marmite to some, or to put it another way, some people don't like it. biggrin but I have to say I love it. It has to be seen to be appreciated, cameras don't seem to be able to pick up the exact colour. In the past I've been a black or grey Aston man, so I'm moving out of my comfort zone. laugh

Well if we are talking about Green V12VS Manuals, then I guess I have to chip in with a pic of Kermit wink

He's got about 1400miles on now is just a monster! So much fun to drive, the ultimate Aston (well this side of a Zagato or GT model)...



Congrats to both TVR4500ccc and Quarterly for posting they have just snapped up one of the last few of these beasts! thumbup

Loving it. I can't get over how much of an upgrade over it's predecessor it is. I'm out again in it in a hour.

Graze, just do it :-)

In years to come what other normally aspirated V12 manuals will be available that are also competent and great fun cars with looks to die for??

Picked up my Skyfall Silver V12VS Manual two weeks ago with under 800 miles on her

Now run in and simply an awesome drivers car.

Sold my 650S Spider to buy her and not missing the Mc. The Mc had immense speed and ability but little driver involvement- the V12VS simply provides everything that was missing in the Mc

Silver car at Leeds is very nice and Max is keen to do a deal!!

Fell in love with the skyfall colour otherwise was enroute to buy that car for less ££
Was your Skyfall car the Wilmslow one?

Sounds fun, yes - would you run it though? Not sure I have the time to collate all the info, unless you are suggesting you would be willing to run it?

I wonder if we could persuade Phil MakoV12V to tag on the V12VSM's to his V12V register? I know he has said before he wasn't going to extend it to V12VS, but maybe he could be tempted to add on just the relatively small number of manuals?

True, but it will still be a small number in the UK out of the 100 worldwide, so maybe 25-30 in the UK, of which a least a handful will no doubt be SSIII.

Hello again All, yes my Skyfall car was the Wilmslow car, under 800 miles and gorgeous ! Shame they forgot to add her on timeless :-) three V12VS manuals sold in the week I was making enquiries. The Lightning Silver car at Leeds is still up for grabs and Max was offering a good deal - somebody get there and get themselves an awesome car!!!!

Chesby, I was in discussions about the Alloro Green car, think you beat me to it by hours! Fancied the LW seats for me, the missus may have tired of them however. Did Bristol let you know there was other interest as by the time I qualified my queries about the car and made by offer it was sold!! Enjoy her - lovely classy colour!
