V12V in Bristol, plate 73 XX

[Japveesix]

Hi all,

I've just seen a V12V driving down through Clifton in Bristol with the number plater 73 then two letters. It's the first I've seen on the road anywhere and just wondered if it belonged to anyone on here or if not if anyone knows it? I think it was meteorite silver though I could well be wrong

Quite rare to see anything much interesting in the day in Bristol and I have to say in the flesh I thought it looked fantastic, even the halfords-esq wheels.

Would have been nice to hear it a bit as rolling downhill at 5mph doesn't get the best out of that engine...

Is it the one 35 seconds in to this video?

Not seen it myself but just recognised the reg when you said it!

It is indeed that car, thanks for the link. That's interesting as that means it may well be a local car and not just someone passing through, so I may get to see it again and hopefully hear it make a bit of noise

Still not sure what colour it is, is that hammerhead or meteorite or some other silver/grey Aston colour?

I think it may be Hammerhead Silver, not 100% though. I will have to keep an eye out for it too. Can sometimes spot some gems if you head up around the streets at the top of Whiteladies and towards the top of the downs.

Yeah think you're right there. Never seen that colour in the flesh but it does give a green hue in the video. Looks really nice on the video - the lighter colours do seem to show off the V12V really well.
