At first look, I didn't think the blue roof would work but the more I see it the more I like it. That color has quite of bit of blue tone in it.
I have to be honest and say that IMHO the roof looks like it's come from a different car. Like the black one got vandalised and all they could find in a hurry was a s/h one from a scrapper.I will now run away very quickly

Black thread may cost the same as green or yellow but if you think that means they should cost the same as an option you need to think about how manufacturing works. If the standard product has black thread then the production cycle for the product will be set up for black thread. To stop the process, change the thread to yellow, make a set with yellow and then stop the process and put it back to black takes time and time is money.
Yeah, kind of... Astons are all sewn by hand mate on sewing machines! There is "no process" as such, unlike with a mass market car. So its about 30 seconds to put a bobbin on yellow thread on instead of the black the tailer had on the machine already.Green9 said:

I’m wrong! The owner tells me it’s actually Buckingham Green…so still waiting for the first confirmed photo of a real Malachite Green AM….Green9, not sure if this is adding 2 plus 2 to get 5, but a “paint to sample” 911 is on sale in Malachite Green Metallic.
Maybe a coincidence that the name is a same and the paint is a sample from elsewhere, but it looks like this:

Thank you for that but the Porsche PTS Malachite is quite different from the AM one.
I went today to the dealer and had another look at the sample and I’ve decided (finally!) that it looks fantastic.
Here’s today’s photo
Bet it’ll look stunning! Photos please in 5 months’ time when you’re behind the wheel. Congrats!I went today to the dealer and had another look at the sample and I’ve decided (finally!) that it looks fantastic.

Gorgeous choice of colour and glad you’ve gone with what you want with the options rather than looking for a “resale” spec or penny pinching.
Have to say I struggle with some of the optional extra costs but once the wallet it open, it’s hard to resist adding them up. What’s £20-30k when you are spending £200k anyway haha.
