2012 | Aston Martin V12 Zagato

Deposit taken.

Hilton & Moss are excited to present a fantastic example of a single owner from new, Aston Martin V12 Vantage, equipped with the highly desirable 6-speed manual transmission, desirable carbon fibre lightweight seats, Bang & Olufsen sound system and both exterior and interior carbon packs.

Building on the VH platform that Aston Martin had already established with the DB9, DBS and earlier V8 Vantage, a decision was made to squeeze their V12 package into the compact chassis to create a powerful, engaging grand tourer. Now with a 510bhp power output from the 6.0 litre engine, the car came alive for a totally renewed experience.

In perhaps one of the most well-known and emotive short films by Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson simply states, 'It is fantastic. It's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!' Saying little more about the car itself, the film lets the cinematography and the V12 sound track do all of the talking. It was clear, even then, that the V12 Vantage was something special.

With manual sportscars becoming increasingly rare, the 6-speed transmission offers drivers the chance to re-engage with the road and appreciate the art of driving once again, providing a breath of fresh air amongst a world of driver assists, barriers and disconnect.

This Aston Martin is a 2012 model finished in the exceptionally rare Q division colour of Flame Orange over an Obsidian Black leather interior with contrast stitching on the rare and desirable lightweight seats, a £2,495 option when new, and have been combined with the Interior Carbon Pack. All of which provides the perfect place to sit whilst you savour the experience of manually working your way through the wonderfully physically six speed gearbox.

The cabin also benefits from the outstanding Bang & Olufsen sound system that gently glides out of the dashtop when you turn on the radio and envelopes you in sound. This was a rather expensive £5,495 option when new but you can really tell and feel the difference over a standard system, and audiophiles will appreciate the difference. The exterior is complimented with a carbon fibre front splitter, bonnet vents, side strakes and rear diffuser panel which were part of the Exterior Carbon pack that added a further £2,995 to the cost.

Immaculate diamond cut 10 spoke wheels and clear lense tail lights with carbon insert complete the styling. The all-leather interior is finished with a carbon fibre and piano black central 'ski slope' and black carpets.

Covering just 12,700 miles from new with only one caring owner who specified the car, the car presents in a phenomenal condition throughout, having lived a cherished and pampered existence in a bespoke built garage for much of its life.

A comprehensive Aston Martin service history confirms the cars condition, exclusively completed by Aston Martin Leeds, and having been cared for without compromise by its one and only Aston Martin afficionado owner since it was first delivered to him in December 2012, the last service was conducted in April 2025 having only covered 12,349 miles.

Having been inspected, prepared and now presented by Hilton & Moss, this V12 Vantage is ready to be enjoyed by its next caring owner. Upon sale, the car will be supplied with a 12-month warranty and a fresh MOT ensuring the car is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

Combining timeless British design, a thrilling V12 engine and a raw, emotive driving experience, there is nothing quite like the manual V12 Vantage on the market today, which is all tipped to be a future classic.

This particular example really is one for the connoisseurs and collectors out there.

Available now, only at Hilton & Moss.
