V12S - Vertigo Blue

[Big Ry]

Hi All,

I've been threatening to get back into a V12S for a while and have been keeping my eye out. Looking for another tin top but must admit I keep getting drawn back to Roadsters.

Anyway, I know that Chiltern Aston have now got a Vertigo Blue and Truffle V12S Roadster in stock. It's a stunner (for me anyway), however I know that it's sat around for the last year or so unsold, which makes me wonder why....what's up with it.

Now I know through experience that Chiltern are a solid outfit, so I'm not concerned about that. I'd just like to know why such a unique example sat around for so long at another dealer (Auto Lounge from memory). I'm sure it's been up for over a year, albeit initially at a silly price from memory....but it went down to sensible money a while ago...and still no buyer.

Chiltern don't have any photo's up yet, so no point posting the link.

Does anyone know anything about it at all ?

Cheers
Ryan

Hi Ry
Looks to me like the same car as mileage virtually identical.
Colour is very rare so doubt there would be two cars at the same time for sale with that spec and identical mileage.
Like the paint but not sure I could cope with maintaining that interior !

Bit of a puzzle, this car. I remember seeing it up for sale in June and couldn't understand why it would hang around, but it did. I've seen some speculation that the cream dash might present some quite bad reflections in the windscreen, but that seems on its own an odd reason for a car to be moved on.

Pretty sure it is a one of one on the colour though.

Hi Al,

Hope you're well.

100% sure it's the same car.

I had truffle in my V12SMR if you remember, never caused me any issues, routine wipe down and job done.

I'm just a bit stumped why it say unsold for so long. Probably a genuine reason, but it does make you wonder.

I had truffle in my previous roadster, and I can't say I ever remember a reflection in the windscreen.....maybe I was too busy trying to find the right gear in that 7sp box !

I wonder too whether geographical differences from AL to Chiltern has a part to play ?
