Apologies for the very gratuitous shot below - it is Christmas and I've just taken delivery so I'm very excited - but a question: why doesn't anyone order a green Aston anymore? Aren't Aston Martins supposed to be green? (Porsche are silver, Ferrari are red).

I promised myself if I ever saw a DBS (or more recently a DB9 GT) in green I would try and buy it. It took 4 years before one came up in the UK. Rare as hens teeth. Given many historic Astons and quite a few DB7s and early Vanqush were green - and the DBR9s on the track - why doesnt anyone seem to go for the colour anymore? Just curious! Merry Christmas!

Very possible, but the way I read the OP was that this is a green car that's just been delivered. If so, then I'd say Alloro Green, and very nice it is too.

Which is a lovely colour that's not really showing through on your pictures. Congratulations and enjoy your new car smile

Every time you post pictures of your car Chris it reawakens a little regret that I didn't buy it before you did smile
