The v12 is more relaible and trouble free than the v8. Bitch to work on however due to lack of space, and two of everything once you start replacing stuff. Too bad it isn’t a manual transmission, but the autobox is pretty great anyway.
Way more than I’d consider paying for one though, but I’m cheap I guess.

The perfect #5 car. Drive it a few hundred miles a year until something else breaks, spend six months fixing it, repeat.

Really. I thought it was the other way around, or does that have more to do with the generation of V8 used?

It was just a really good v12.
The v8 has a few issues which WILL need to be addressed, probably multiple times in the cars lifetime. Plastic timing guides, crankcase vent/pcv issues, upper and lower oil pan gaskets, etc.
The v12 pretty much just needs valve cover gaskets every 100k or so... but if the maf goes, you need two of em. Same for fuel pump, ecu, etc... and the electronic cats are pricey when they go out and can’t really be swapped out for traditional units without angering the computer(s).
Much more cramped underhood on the 12 though, so when it does require love, your knuckles will feel it.
