V12 Vantage Register

[Mako V12V]

I'm trying to compile a spreadsheet of as many V12V stats as I can, from personal sightings, or adverts on the net, or from fellow PHers. Some of these records are backed up by photos too.

It may be, that this info is available from AM themselves, however, where is the fun in just obtaining the info direct from them!

I've also cross referenced info from certain books etc to try and identify both UK and non-UK cars and which cars were used by mags/journalists or by AM for motor shows and displays etc.

If any V12V owners on here would like to postup, or email me any of the following info and/or a photo of their car, that would be great:-

Chassis (last 3 digits)
Reg (incl previous reg if applicable)
Colour 1 (ie blue)
Colour 2 (ie Mako)
Country (UK/USA/Germany/Australia etc)
Notes - any other useful info you may have on your car.

Please note this database I'm trying to compile is for personal use only.

Cheers - Phil

ps. i have nearly 100 vehicle records so far but many are incomplete with regard to the above info.

Thanks John. Do you think it was a carbon black example?

[Mako V12V]

Thanks Terry! Great info and thanks for the photo. The carbon black is pretty stunning...good luck keeping it clean!! Lol

Mako blue
V12 VGT
North Devon UK

Thanks for the info. What number is it please? Oh yeah, great choice of colour!

[Mako V12V]

One less V12V folks!

On checking out a photo of a V12V i found on the internet, it appears that car must've been involved in an "incident" which has caused it to be declared Cat B.

And then there's only 999!

Database update - I have 94 different entries so far plus 4 prototypes. I also have a further 10 without VIN numbers (mainly non-uk ones).

On identifying colours, i must admit im struggling to distinguish between hammerhead, meteorite, tungsten and quantum!

I also have 6 Mako blues - very common

What are peoples views on a database such as this? The reason I ask is that I didn't get much response after my request for info - are people reluctant for me to hold this info on their car?

Is there any damage that you or others can do with this info Phil ??

Or is it just a case of 'Aston Spotting' ??

It's mainly just Aston Spotting and collating of basic info

Cant see what harm it can do at all, not asking for addresses or how much was paid for them lol.

Incidentally, there's a Magma Red one up for sale at a Saudi Arabian dealership. I've asked for the VIN on that one but they appear reluctant to give it to me - but then again I cant speak Arabic!

I've obtained details of a Belgian and American car today which are being sold at main dealers!

[Mako V12V]

Phil/Di, thanks for the info! And congrats on your new purchase Phil, you're gonna love every minute

I've decided to bulk up the database, similar to a main dealer's spec page, to include interior trim colours, seat types,audio and optional extras. I realise these extra columns may be difficult to obtain but this is a long term project! Therefore my database now has these columns to populate:-

Chassis (last 3 digits)
Registration date
Reg (incl previous reg if applicable)
Colour 1 (ie blue)
Colour 2 (ie Mako)
Interior colour - upper/lower
Headlining and carpet colours
Facia trim and brake calipers
Seat type - sports seats or lightweight buckets
Audio system - 160W/700W/1000W B&O
Country (UK/USA/Germany/Australia etc)
Notes - optional extras such as front park sensors, garage door opener, heated seats etc.

I'm also trying to obtain at least 3 photos of each car - front/side, rear/side and interior.

Any help as always appreciated

Hi David, that's great, thanks for the info. I tried emailing you so you could send the photos back to me, but you're email link isn't working. You could upload some on photobucket?
Do you have the standard 160W audio system or the upgraded 700W or B&O. Also are ur brake calipers black?
I'm in rainy, dreary, Lancashire!

[Mako V12V]

Update:-
Database now has just over 140 entries including 6 prototypes.

Highest entry is #953 which is in the USA.

The first USA entry is #513.

I have found a Jersey V12V in a strange green colour on Google images (reg J186). Does anyone have any info on this car?

Thanks

[Mako V12V]

Great info Phil, thanks. It will take some time to come down from cloud 9!!
And quite a high number. The USA seems to have taken most of the later cars.

[Mako V12V]

Hi Archie, that's absolutely brilliant....every boxed ticked

Now just waiting for the remaining V12V owners on here (except say for 3 or 4) to post up their info

Could you email me some photos over possibly? I'll send you my email addy.

Cheers!

[Mako V12V]

I now have 161 entries + 6 prototypes!

Does anyone know what colour this is or have any info on this Jersey based car??

[Mako V12V]

Kevin, congrats on your purchase! And great info for my register...another one completed

[Mako V12V]

Terry, you have mail...hopefully!

[Mako V12V]

Checkout this interior on #873!!

Is that Sahara tan? Looks really good.

It is indeed, well done!
I'll post some other "anomalies" I've found tomorrow hopefully.

George H said:

Oh good, I'll look forward to those

Did you ever find out what the green is on the V12V above? It's been bugging me for a bit, can't quite find what it is. Looks a bit too light for Buckinghamshire green yet too dark for Almond green Looks great whatever colour it is

Hi George, no, not found out yet which green it is - could it be AM Racing Green?

I've come across #915 in the US which is Grigio Silverstone Ferrari in colour and check out the interior colour including the facia trim! If you can guess that interior colour i'll be amazed

[Mako V12V]

Sorry! I can't upload the interior photo yet as the upload facility stopped working. Will try later.

[Mako V12V]

Here's the interior that you wont guess
Loving the AM mats too
