RE: V12 Vantage.18 Mar 2022 09:34
Lurkio...I don't own an AM myself so don't have your experience of buying these vehicles. Therefore, I have simply taken Moers at his word, that the V12 is oversubscribed. However, I have to say that I would be surprised at him making such a statement if it wasn't true, as he would be deterring potential buyers. Surely better to say something like "demand very high only a few cars available for sale". Certainly AML were honest about the Speedster which was limited to just 88... they said sales were going well (words to that effect)but they definitely didn't say they were sold out. I would think if someone enquired about a V12, they would be put on a reserve list and may be lucky enough to get one if a customer cancelled their order.
Turning to your point about AML building additional cars to the 339...I don't see Moers doing this, though he may consider a roadster dependant on customer opinion. I recall that the majority of spiders were ordered by customers who already had valkyries on order. I would have thought that AML would contact their V12 customers first for their opinions and interest in a roadster before going ahead with the project? Personally as a share holder, I would be more than happy to see a V12 roadster as it's more income for the Company and another superb verhicle to boost the brand. However, I wouldn't want one at the expense of upsetting our loyal customers. So, will there be more V12s?...time will tell ;-)
