2012 DBS Volante Manual

I imagine this is expensive, but should be one of the appreciating Astons from the Gaydon era.

Ya wonder what that will sell for.

They say one of 5, but I swear I've seen 4-5 different manual volantes for sale in USA over the years. One was gray/dark silver, another white, then one black if I remember correctly.

Back 5-6 years ago could have picked one up for 120-130K USD

It’s probably my ideal car apart from not being green and having its steering wheel on the “wrong” side!

Just called them - asking price is $280k and there’s already a deal pending.

Will have to stick with my DB9 volante manual for now and enjoy how cheap it is!

I've seen v12v roadster manuals for 180K USD or so in the last 1.5 yrs. So a massive premium on those unless those have also risen in price in the last 12-18 months

Lovely, gorgeous colour!...but that’s some asking price

If I’m being picky...steering wheel with black centre looks odd? But too much tan looks OTT? Maybe more black and less tan overall would be better...

Impressive floor mats

It’s 1 of 5 2012 models, sounds believable to me.

Floor mats come from a US supplier who makes them in quilted leather. I think they started with Lambos (hence the diamond quilting) and they moved on to other exotics/high end brands.

Shame the later Vanquish was never offered as manual alongside the V12VM

[Djit]

I was told by a well informed AML dealer principle back in the day that they very nearly did. The idea was kicked around about having a stripped out, raw manual Vanquish, but it didn’t transpire.

[Beckson]

That would have been quite the send off to the VH era...

Indeed, I would have bought one! But I was in the minority who bought a manual DBS in 2010.
