4.7 & V12 Vantages - Grigio Titanio

[Dewi 1]

Of interest to rovcallum and Composer62.

Another Grigio car has appeared. It is a 2016 V12 Vantage S Coupe.
At present being advertised on the Pre-owned list.
First registered on the last day of the month, which usually indicates a dealer stock order.

In the UK the known cars are now;

7 - Coupe
7 - Roadster
2 - V12

Interesting indeed :-) Your vigilance pays off again !

I have a Grigio Titanio DB9 if that helps

[rovcallum]

Very interesting. Seems like it remains a rare colour.

Your car must look a beauty. A photo perhaps, if you would like to post here. As you will know, with this colour, a dull day and a sunny day photo gives the appearance of two different cars.

Probably very few Grigio Titanio DB9s in the UK, but I had better stick to only a Vantage list.

Looks even better in the sun after a detail and a wash Love the colour

[Dewi 1]

Looking really good.

Hope you will not mind me mentioning this, but my attention was drawn to your front brake disc.
Two circular black marks. Is it OK?

[PotentiallyaHorse]

That was the shot from when it was at the showroom, disks are fine and are ~15% worn and do not look like that now.

A great colour
Looks a bit like BMW Space Grey

[PotentiallyaHorse]

It really depends on the clouds!

[Dewi 1]

This is how the colour appears, when in bright sunshine.




( I think the Vantage on the left is Lightning Silver. )

I have a Grigio Titanio DBS Volante. And there is also one for sale on auto trader at the moment.

Of course it counts Tony. Great choice.
A picture perhaps?

My laziness led to the list starting with model year 2009, knowing there would not be very many cars. I guess there might be quite a few 4.3 Grigio Titanios, probably because the AM Titanium colour was not available.

I understand AM Heritage are working on a new database. We might therefore see more complete information about past models, when their work is complete.

Phil, I only find out if I happen to see them advertised for sale. Therefore the only V12S Coupe which I have noticed, is the one at present for sale at Bristol.

If the other 3 are definitely 'Grigio Titanio - Ferrari', and not the other Grigio colours, I would be delighted to know the full dates of first UK registration.

Thank you.

EDIT.
Yes, I seem to remember a second V12V being mentioned, still being owned by the original buyer (so therefore under the radar'). Must have mislaid my note about that one. Are you able to please obtain the full date of first registration?

Perhaps a bit more detail might be of interest. 2007 model year, manual 'box, Prodrive engine and exhaust enhancements (425 bhp claimed). I have also had a Bamford Rose twin plate clutch, along with lightened flywheel, and gear change 'quick shift' linkage modifications, a superb mod, in my opinion.
I'll try to post some photos, they will be phone camera ones, so not top quality....

Thank you very much Phil. Excellent.

Just say no if you wish. You know what I am going to ask you now.

Exactly the same information for the 4.7 V8 Vantage, might save me monitoring any more for sale adverts. It would reveal any cars which are not already on my list, and as production has finished (V600 in Grigio anyone?), there would not be any more cars to discover.

Many thanks.
