Have V12 Vantage S's hit the road yet - poss spotted

[autofocus]

Hi there,

Had a day in Newcastle upon Tyne today and whilst down on the Quayside with a client I spotted a Silver V12 Vantage S. I did not think deliveries of these had started yet ?

Sorry could not grab a photo as it went past before I even got my phone out. Having seen the Yellow press V12V S up close last year I am pretty confident I could tell the difference between a normal Vantage as a V12VS.

Anyone shed any light ?

Regards

Tim

Answer, yes.

Two contributors to this forum have taken delivery, and have told us about their new cars.

Being in Newcastle it will have been stolen. Did you get in and out without being mugged in the Bigg Market ?

[outofstepuk]

Even with 2000 miles on it the blue one seems better priced especially with lightweights.

I get the improvements, but there's such a gap between the last regular V12V and the V12S, surely it's going to close considerably once more come on the market. I get a premium, but when you're looking at 40K+ difference on 2013 S vs non S cars... seems a lot.

There is a grey V12 (not an S) frequently on the Quayside, as it's what finally gave me the push to get my V8V after Mrs GMan saw it last year.

Airfield Blue, yes, it is to do with the new AMG relationship.

SMILE.

FLUGPLATZ is also a corner at the Nurburgring which is the scene of several Aston victories. I believe that is the link you are looking for

Nothing to do with AMG, AM were using it as a colour before any involvement with AMG
It was also a launch colour on the new Vanquish

Thinking about dredder's reference to 'British sports car', my comment was supposed to
be a joke, Mikey.
Clearly not a very good one though. Time to go.

Another one, AM Racing green with yellow brakes & stitching:

Hmmm, 4 used cars on the market already - I wonder how much longer before discounts on new will be available as they were on the V12V!

So they're practically dime-a-dozen then.

That lightning silver one is yummy, but I'd have to make the roof black though (and put the steering wheel on the other side).

[steveatesh]

Lightning silver one is on my doorstep. Hmmm, think they need a new camera as I thought the interior was light grey until reading the spec sheet and see it's black.
Can't make the man maths work, sadly...
