I keep reading about Halo. We have been shown many photos of the AMR cars, but I have not yet seen any with a circle of light above them.

Being puzzled about this, I took
counsel

Well spotted Adam.
It might be these tiny keys getting me into trouble, or the predictive text system, or perhaps as Captain Mainwaring used to say,
"I wondered who would be first to notice that." - wink

Certainly no good asking the council. The reply they keep repeating is, "We do not have any money."
Some wag did once point out, "You might have some money, if you had not wasted so much".

Most likely.
First V12 (and probably only one for a while) to the market, so with no precedent of value I guess the owner / dealer are always going to chance their arm and go in high.
The only thing that's vaguely close is the Spitfire Edition at Tom Hartley, which I think is priced similarly (but also hasn't sold).
Interesting to see how it goes.

It’s been for sale on Autotrader for at least three months, if not four. Quite funny that on that outlet it is a coupe and the picture shows it being green! I wonder if it even exists.

Ah, I see. This is the first white/orange pic I’d seen, so assumed it was a different car.
Maybe the ‘actual’ car is a white / orange Roadster, if indeed it exists...

As you say, taking a punt in lieu of no others for sale. Time will tell of course, but it seems very steep given the minor differences over a regular V12VS - which can be had for almost £100k less with only a handful of miles.

Good news - my V8 AMR in Ultramarine should have been delivered to dealer today and is having aero pack fitted on Monday

Should be ready mid/end of next week - photos to follow soon!

Excited to see the finished product

Congratulations and really looking forward to the pictures in your colour scheme. Don’t think I have seen one before.

Back to the advert - we have a white V12 Manual Roadster on our list which has been delivered and was very interested in how many had been produced. I wonder?? Hope he still has it?

I think that’s Imtiaz. He also bought from Grange Brentwood and, as far as I know, def still has it. I don’t think this car (again, if it exists) is his.

I still have my car and have no intention of selling.

The dealer iadverstising this white roadster is also advertising a halo v12 coupe. Doubt they exist as there are no real pictures or specs

Was there a question about when journalists will be driving the V12 AMR ?

Possibly this journalist will not be lent any more Aston Martin press cars.

I wonder how the dog walking woman knew that the car was going at over 40mph?

Given that the launch car/demonstrator was wearing V12 AML and has since been sold, very surprised there is another factory car - this one was registered in September. Perhaps they built one to keep for themselves ?

Article quote from the member of the public: Once we were out of sight we could hear the incredible roar of the vehicle once again . So true.

Thought is worth mentioning on this thread, for anyone that missed out on a V12 AMR, we have a new, unregistered V12S Manual in stock which we have built to a similar spec, with the power upgrade kit, titanium exhaust, full aero kit, lightweight seats and AMR wheels fitted. Car is Onyx Black with Obsidian, red stitch, red calipers. We kept it a secret until Duxford as we have only just finished fitting all the parts to it. This is our last ever V12 S, so we thought we would go the whole hog and put everything on it. Its pictured on the left in this image, if anyone wants to know more about it drop me a line on simon.lane@jardinemotors.co.uk
