I agree Mako. And that must also mean that the Carbon Black edition (some 150 made??) must be quite desirable.
Indeed but not as much as a Mako blue - only 7 UK cars and I only have around 15 worldwide (from 668/1196 on my Register)!!

For anyone who's interested - three latest additions on AM used car site:-

S00188 - an early car Sept 2010 - storm black - ONLY 2384 miles!!!!!!! But a huge £96495

S00999 - in MF White - looks great value for a 2012 car and 6886 miles, £94950. Stick some transfers on and flashing blue lights as it's the emergency V12V (999 haha)

S01274 - a meteorite car with 9765 miles, March 2013, and one of the last 100 or so. £92990.

Who's buying??!!

I did once see a Mako blue V12V drive along by Nicole Kidman's house in Sydney. So I'm sure she must own one of them...

I think there are two approaches to (potentially) look at a value investment when buying a V12V for around 80-90k. One is if you want to buy a car that you can use and you are probably not going to loose your shirt on it. This is the most likely outcome. If you enter into V12V ownership in the belief that it will quadruple in value over the next 10 years i think you should go elsehere with your money. From all the cars that were buildt in the 1950-60ties only vey few made the grade of being collectables 50 years later. DB4 and DB5, Mercedes SL and SL Roadster and a couple of Ferraris and now recently Porsches.

A DB4 cost the same in 1961 as a flat in London. I would rather have bought a flat.

Looking at my list again, I only have 11 Makos. 7 in U.K., 2 in the US, 1 in NZ and 1 in Australia which belongs to my partner, Nicole biggrin

Good post that mate .... I would definitely look at it under the 1st scenario where I could use the car for the 10 years or so and not do starship mileage so not lose anything (hopefully gain a bit?) in value apart from the cost of running the car, ie servicing/repairs etc!! I would not be going into this thinking I could make a fortune lol
