It's OK, they'll refuse to sell it to you anyway. Save time and just order an F Type instead. hehe

That'll be fine as long as they don't put a stupidly large rear wing on it and lots of tacky 'stick on' black bits all around it.....

d'ohhhh !! they definitely won't sell me one now.... frown

All of them Mariana Blue.......alternatively choose from....
Either they're all blue or they're not. They can't all be blue if some of them aren't.
It says they are all mechanically identical, mariana blue is the standard colour, but two alternatives are available

It doesn't say they are all blue
Er.............. yes it does. " Mechanically the cars are identical with all of them painted Mariana Blue as standard, "

It says they are painted blue as STANDARD. So if you order one it'll be blue if you don't specify one of the OPTION colours. There's a picture of a silver one in the article for gods sake !

Obviously, being an Aston, who knows what color you'll get. Its all very exciting apparently....

I'm a fan of 'end of the line' editions. Most faults through production ironed out, good discounts (no I can't afford one) and the longer they make them/the more they sell, the faster they depreciate (to where I will be able to afford one).

In 20 years, how much will a compact, NA V8 manual coupe be worth? Safe place to put money I reckon once the first owner has taken the main hit.

I'd love a Vantage (V12 manual, thanks). But I'd get that stupidly​ named Q Dept to paint it this colour...



Not the usual predictable black or grey that these always seem to be painted in.

As far as I know, V8 = 6 speed, V12 = 7 speed.

Maybe Aston could do a Schrödinger's Blue?
Chrome illusion effect that would change colour as you walk around.

Squeeze that cow a little more and out drop more specials.

That red and blue paint scheme looks familiar.

Credit to them for doing a Lotus and getting every single last drop of income out of the old cars.
