Not sure that I welcome another Mako V12V onto the roads. We like to keep the Mako exclusive!!!

Anyway, this is identical in spec to mine which suggests to me that it's a car AML have specced and then forced a dealer to buy it.

It's not the one that the Stig drove on top gear.

I reckon that price is toppy as well.

Oh and the pictures - car is too clean :-)

Although, it does have 2 stereos in it !!

Yours isn't really Mako though John... more a sort of Road-Grime Grey with small flashes of Mako where someone has rubbed their finger on it!

This looks like the one I saw for sale around spring 2010 as it has the Baltic blue interior and non-cf seats.
Can someone find out the chassis number's last 3 digits?

And it's not overpriced at all. The price reflects the rarity, splendour and magnificence of a Mako V12V!! hehe

Looks great but the price is, indeed, too high.

That little v12 is pretty awesome. I wonder if I can get it in an RC car :-)

I bet you the actual block is quite cheap - since it's made to FoMoCo pricing standards!

Your local AML dealer could source a block and you could build the table yourself!

One for sale for $1900, for that price would just be easier to buy one ready made. Plus if I factored in my time programming and the cost of a CNC machine for a few hours, not really worth it. It would be pretty cool though.

.....and what about cayman-blacks car ?

Looks terrific, whatever then price. Description implies lightweight seats but also refers to standard sport seats (and looks like sport seats in the photograph). The lightweight seats are an essential item to me but it is your preference that counts.
