Those look awesome, especially the orange one. The orange looks like absolute filth, I love it!

I think the Orange one is certainly striking, possibly partly due to it being so unusual. I personally couldnt live with it every day. The white morning frost car i thought looked very nice too, that i could live with.

I came as passenger with Mako V12V. Firstly, what a fantastic car, my first ride. Secondly, what a fantastic day, to see all your car's parked together was a great and to meet everyone was a pleasure. Thirdly, the tour round was brilliant, probably the most most enjoyable and informative car related visit I have been to in many years. Thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome. One last thing, I felt a lot of lens envy, I was the one taking pics using my phone, it would be nice to see more pics of the day on here.

Great video Shmee! Have loads of pics but they are all in RAW so need to convert and reduce size a little!

Is the orange car the AM Press car?

I saw that Jonny Smith from 5th Gear had a bright orange V12V recently, looked absolutely amazing.

I hope they're making more colours available on the V12V, it saddens me to see so many in grey, off grey, dark grey, very dark grey, almost black, light grey and slightly grey but a bit silvery.

Having said that, from the pictures above my argument is utterly flawed - white, red and blue being most prominent.

The Lime Green Vantage interior was worse I think - lime green with red stitching, a wooden dash and red seatbelts.
