Early V12 Vantage Manual prices
Discussion
I remember not too long ago, when the AM Pre-owned listing went down from about 5 cars to none. Possibly Christmas 2015.
Think the last one was advertised at well over £100,000, but then gradually more came on to the market, and the asking prices reduced.
There was a topic running at the time. Great excitement.
V12 Vantage order books have now officially closed in that you can't place orders for new anymore. As a result, I suspect it won't take too long before the ones on the used market disappear. It's rumoured the new Vantage will launch with the AMG V8 twin turbo. As for a V12 variant, I suspect they'd have to use the DB11 twin turbo V12 - but I'm not sure a manual gearbox would take to it. Although Andy committed to manual gearboxes, there was no commit made to V12's + manuals. I suspect those that are out there are the last we'll see. If you're in a position to grab one - I would.

Difficult one I know but have V12 Vantage Manual prices bottomed out and will they only increase in value with sensible mileage. Thinking of trading up from early V8 Vantage to a 2012 V12 Vantage?
I will be selling my V12 manual soon when AMR arrives:- 2009 Tugsten Silver 7k miles immaculate.Derek007 said:

V12V prices bottomed out around 2 years ago at around £70-75k for 2009 higher mileage cars. Then as mentioned above, there was a shortage around winter 2015/16 and prices went up by £10000. Dealers were selling without even advertising as they had a waiting list!!
Since the V12VSM 7sp launch there was a glut and prices fell slightly but those original V12V px's have been sold now and the market is firming up again.
If the market dries up again there's no reason why prices won't go north as before, maybe even more so due to the end of Vantage and V12 manuals.

Like all of us (I hope), none of us bought V12's to make money, but it's always nice to think you're not going to get rinsed if you need to or choose to sell.
Nobody has a crystal ball, just imagine if Comrade Corbyn had got in, we'd now be trading them for bags of rice and Kim Jong-Un haircut vouchers, but as it stands today I'd have thought that anything with a V12 and a manual box is probably reasonably safe in the value stakes.
What do I know though, i'm the clown who passed on a 512tr for £55k a few years back.......

I agree Mako. And that must also mean that the Carbon Black edition (some 150 made??) must be quite desirable.
My question is, is whether the V12 and V12S will become known as Series 1 and Series 2 cars like the Vantages from 70s, 80s and early 90s?
"Whilst the Series 2 car offered drivers more power and a seven speed manual box, the Series 1 car is the more desirable given that it was the first V12 Vantage. Aston only made around 1,300 of them, and amongst the cognoscenti, it is revered as the original V12. Prices are now in the 300,000 to 400,000 pound range, but an excellent condition, low mileage Carbon Black Edition can change hands for 500,000 pounds or more. The Series 1 and Series 2 cars really represent the end of an era in the words of a relatively well-known television (eye-click here for explanation) presenter of the time". (Octane, June 2034).

A friend of mine once owned a black rhd 512TR which he really struggled to sell in the late 90's. Heavens knows what that car is worth now if it is still around. He bought it with 2,000 miles on the clock and had so many issues with it, in the end it just wasn't worth the hassle. Back on topic, I am happy to be corrected here (Phil, feel free to do so, as you're the guru!) but there are only around 360 rhd V12Vs about so it is still a relatively rare car, and nothing I have seen to date is good enough to get me to sell mine. I'm happy to get the invitation to go and see the new Vantage, which I assume will be revealed in September at Frankfurt, especially after the V8 DB11 announcement last night. But for me, mine is a keeper. It is just the perfect car for me, and you never know it might end up a classic.

Surely the desirable one will be the one that kids saw the Stig drive around the track?My question is, is whether the V12 and V12S will become known as Series 1 and Series 2 cars like the Vantages from 70s, 80s and early 90s?

And the prototype launch model colour.
Ideally with carbon seats and B&O...
No-one will care about some "johnny-come-lately" badge engineered edition.
