    Let's see if I can find it, but if not I'll get it from the owner.

    I assume you know that the Vector was not Italian

    The Vector wasn't Italian but during the last few years of production, the twin turbo V8 was replaced by a Lambo V12. So it a way it does qualify for this section, like the Pantera.

    I may be wrong but isn’t the w12 basically a rebodied Diablo From when Lamo and Vector where both owned by MegaTech

    Hello Tony,

    M12 at your home, fantastic !! very nice color. chassis 005 I think, not ?

    I wanted to come to California in August (for Concorso & Peeble Beach), but it is not possible.
    Next year, 2008, for Anniversary Vector.

    Best regards,

    Gilles.

    Gilles,

    How are you doing my friend? The next time you in California, I'll give you a ride in my W8. That is Aaron's M12(#005), he was at my house about a year ago for the baby shower's party.

    Tony

    Hello Alan,

    I'm not planning to bring the W8 this year, but then again you never know last minute I might change my mind.

    Tony, many many thanks, you are a great friend ;)
    This year, I will return to Japan in October, for Tokyo Motor Show but, in august 2008, I will be to California.

    Yes, I remember now for Aaron's M12, on Kev's forum.

    Your baby, 2 years now, karting ? a small motor bike ?

    I will contact you by email........

    Gilles.

    Very nice M12's pics, thank you Tony for your partage.

    I saw a yellow Vector at Evans. It's partially apart. Like the Countach, it's quite different to see one in person. Build quality is pretty good for such a low production. Is this car anyone's here?

    Joey,

    The above picture of the only one yellow Vector W8 and it's mine. The one you saw at Evans that must be the yellow M12.

    Tony, your W8 is a most beautiful color, and I love the interior options on it :) I may not be a big fan of the M12, but it is a very unique and interesting car to see in person, for sure. Maybe one day, i'll surgically shrink my torso so I can fit in one proper :p
