Looked at your video - did it have carbon fibre strakes? It looks like they are CF at 1:17 but I'm not sure.

I will have another look on the way home from work...

I really like it... If I was actually going to wrap my car (I occasionally think about it but never have got round to it) then RS Orange would be on the shortlist!

Looks stunning and suits the character of the V12V I think.

So if it's a press car I guess there's a journalist on a performance car magazine living nearby?

Hmmmm!

And I was thinking someone saw mine and decided to invest in a V12....

well its up for sale. May well have been a press car but looks like a mighty fine price for what is probably a unique car!

It was parked next to the Tungsten V8S we tested at Chichester last weekend. On the other side was a gorgeous Cobalt Blue V8S too. The three cars together looked stunning.

And yes, to answer an old post, the strakes are definitely CF on that orange beast.

Spookily enough I mentioned this car to a friend. He actually knows the former owner.

Nice spec!

If you look at the centre console and steering wheel it seems to confirm that the car is carbon black spec, except of course that it isnt black! Looks like it was a bit of a special to make the press report favourably. I really love the orange contrast stitch too on the seats n doors.

Ah, you've reminded me. Geoff at Harwoods said that the car was originally black but went back to the factory to be resprayed.
