New V12 Vantage owner
Discussion
Just wanted to introduce myself. Been a lurker for a while, but after looking around for four months, finally bought a 2012 V12 Vantage yesterday.
It is Grigio Silverstone - Ferrari, with Bentley Cognac interior. 6,000 miles on the car, and I love it. Something really special about driving an Aston. I have had a bunch of Porsches, which I loved, but the Aston just feels different.
I am in Los Angeles, so don't know if I will meet any of you, but look forward to chatting about our cars.

Hi Jonathon
Ive recently purchased one also and well impressed with it.
I really like ther colour of yours. I once looked at a TVR Cerbera in that colour and ever since if that colour is on a model of car I'm interested in it would make me very keen. Suits the V12 Vantage as it really fits well with the carbon.
Enjoy!

Hi Jonathan
Welcome to the club! They really are very special cars. Mine is a 2012 too, and I really cannot think of any good reason to change it. It is most definitely a keeper.
Enjoy!
P.S. I would expect Phil will be on here soon to see if your car is on his register.
Best Regards

You LA guys are making this Trojan living in the north of England nostalgic.
Is Latigo canyon road still accessible?
Here’s an oldie. Use headphones and crank it up.

Most roads in Malibu are closed off due to the fire. Snake, Stunt road etc.

Congrats Jon on your rare acquisition.....only 3 cars in that colour scheme all in the US. Which one is yours please - 721, 915 or 1047?
One was for sale in Sept 2017 but the other two haven’t surfaced for over 6 years!

Sorry, haven't been able to post, and really have been unable to drive the car much because of the fires. Finally was able to give it a short drive yesterday when I went to the cousins for Thanksgiving. Drove it over Santa Susana, which unfortunately isn't that long, but what an amazing car. Absolutely love it. Drives incredibly well, but is also incredibly elegant. Perfect car. Congrats Jon on your rare acquisition.....only 3 cars in that colour scheme all in the US.

I don't know what number it is (give me a hint on where to find it), but I do know it was not sold in 17. One owner since original sale in 2012.
Posting a couple more pictures, including an interior picture.
This car is definitely a keeper (although I always say that). It is just so much more emotionally involving than the Porsches I have had.
