Between the start and end of production of the V12 Vantage has there been any major differences between model years?

There has been a lot of tiny improvements pretty much every year (in some cases every 6mths) of production, but nothing whatsoever that you would call major. In fact if you were not an enthusiast you probably wouldn't even notice - things like auto wipers (as posted above) as about as "major" as it gets.

Reverse camera on my 2012.5 V12 Carbon Edition. Also has automatic lights and automatic wipers. Unfortunately none of them have the tire pressure display.

Mine's 2011, so has the big mirrors and Volvo SatNav, but with HDD. Auto lights and wipers would be nice. The Garmin SatNav looks a bit better, but I don't find it any better to use. It still falls a long way short of the SatNav in our X5.

I forgot to mention that my 2012.5 V12 Vantage Carbon Edition has black trim around the windows and black edges on the clear tail lights. It also has every piece of carbon fibre that is offered by Aston for the car. Nice little touches.

So what version of P Zero is an option other than Corsa or Sottozero?

The ordinary P Zero. The Corsa and Sottozero are special versions of the standard tyre.

As the woollie one has said, just p-zero is the name, as an example on the blackcircles site, hopefully see below.
