Vantage AMR

[RobDown]

Looks like more delays. My car went into build early November but has now been stuck in External Testing for 3 weeks. Not sure what the issue is but hopefully resolved soon!

Fortunately I was looking for January registration anyway so no harm no foul

Mine has finally arrived at the dealership - 6 weeks late but at least its here :-)

They want me to collect next week but going with a few others on here and going to delay until January registration

End of quarter / year dealer sales incentive bonus perhaps.

Collection and registration are two different things - I collected Kermit on the 28th Dec (my birthday), drove it home on trade plates and then registered it on the 1st Jan - so had 3 days in the garage to polish and fiddle around..

Don't be pushed into registering it early, even if you have to pay for it a few days earlier.

An email from AM Edinburgh today and it looks like they have at least two V8 AMR’s looking for a home. A manual Halo coupe and a sport shift Zaffre Blue Roadster if anyone is looking.

Leeds have two also, to the best of my knowledge.

Can't help thinking that maybe 100 of each V8 and V12 would have been a better number...

As did Brum a couple of weeks ago. It's a real shame as I'm sure they are brilliant cars even though they look like cross eyed hamsters

[KevinBird]

Any V12's available?

[Wayne95]

What sort of prices are the V8s going for ?
Are they asking above list or is there some discounting going on?

No idea but with each dealer seeming to have one or two available then can’t believe they are seeking over list. Why not ask the question?

Are they allowed to, Ian?

Wouldn’t expect them to be able to but just answering Wayne’s question.

Perhaps 100 of each version would have worked better?

Are you looking to buy one?

Yes if the spec is right

Do you know of one?

I saw a Roadster for £133,000 (I think).
Don't know how that relates to list, but of course options always complicate the question.

And you are selling it?

Another one available in Dublin/Belfast - Zaffre Blue V8 AMR looks again pretty base spec at €189,520 (c.£168,000)

Same guys who had the Silver Roadster - be interesting to know what any these end up trading for? If any are still at dealers - I heard about 20-odd dealers in the UK were allocated two V8s and one V12 each - c.50 UK registered V8 cars the rest going abroad - about 20 UK V12 cars - that sound about right??
