tE!Tis a shame it has the bunco bargain bonnet vents, but otherwise I think its one of the nicest, if not the nicest and best spec'd, used V12VSM seen on the market so far.
I would also liked to have seen a little contrast stitch inside as its looks a bit dull with just the black thread, but would have to be a colour in keeping with Aloro, so perhaps Parliament Green thread?
Still for a dealer spec car it's not a bad effort!

Some consensus on here for once !
I had a look at the car from the first post before reading people's comments and thought exactly the same thing - shame about the vents, interior could do with a splash of colour (perhaps yellow stitching and then yellow callipers, or perhaps some/all of the interior in a mid/dark tan/brown)
But other than that, a well specced car. Many people seem to go for the CF light infills and wing mirrors but actually, on the cars which are not black/grey, I much prefer seeing those items in the body colour as this one has.
I did see the new/standard bonnet vents for the first time a couple of weeks ago and they surprised me - I do think they look better in the flesh. But I still wouldn't have them - they are surely THE iconic exterior feature that sets V12 apart from V8 Vantage, which has remained consistent from the first introduction of V12V to the last.

Good lord. That's the first time I've seen those vents and I'm not a fan. Is it part of Astons money making plan to have everything as an option? "You can have these cheap mesh grills sir, but if you want the carbon fibre ones that have been standard from day one, you'll have to pay a few k more for it. Shocking.

Noticed the alcantara on the steering column. That certainly makes up for lack of seat belt gaiters. Is that standard - or a Q option?
The alcantara steering column is part of the Sport Pack Plus (SP+) interior.I didn't go with SP+ on mine, but instead specced just the SP+ Alcantara dash, including the steering column and a few other "improvements" for just £695 via Q, so either option is available. I suspect 99% of the cars you see with it will be SP+ cars.

Well i do not like this car. I don't like the wheels or the brake callipers, bonnet mesh and as ever one has said the inside looks dull as does that alloro green, not for me.
Agree with you, very very dull looking. Shame really, a few bits changed and it could of looked a lot better!Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
