It would be a tough call between the two, but Viridian edges it for me smile

Viridian on a roadster works much better than a coupe I think. Must be the inbuilt flamboyancy of a ragtop car.

This thread was an inspiration to me during my ordering process so I'm pleased to be able to make my own contribution to it. Just took delivery of this V12V in AMRG #1959, claimed to be the same as the Le Mans winning DBR1.

Wonderful, that is the THE BEST V12 I have ever seen! Just shows how depressing all those identical grey ones are wink

What interior did you go for?

Great color, but certainly doesn't look like any shade of Aston racing green I've ever seen. It looks very dark...more like a variation on BRG.

Lovely dark blue V8 Vantage that turned up to work recently:








And some that I have sold over the years:

Ulrich Bez's old Morning Frost Vanquish S






Resprayed in Morning Frost


Not sure of the exact name of this colour


Berwick Bronze (not black!)



The rest were all either the usual black / silver / grey unfortunately so no good for this thread.

Thanks for the pics Ashley.

There's a whole world of want from me on that dark blue twin s/c Vantage.

Are the wheels on the MF Vanq S (and the Berwick Bronze one by the looks of it) after market? They look like some dodgy Kahn jobbies, so surprised The Bezmeister would have spec'd it with such.

Also a BIG fan of Berwick Bronze on the Vanq. Any Gaydon era cars out there in this colour?

Looks like Berwick Bronze is on Gaydon era cars after a quick google - DBS with it here:


Agree with the comments regarding the Vantage too cloud9

Thanks.

The wheels are 20" Kahn RSV's and weren't on Bez's car when we bought it for stock. I used to be Sales Manager at Project Kahn / V12 Power until a couple of years ago, now at a Jaguar main dealer in London.

The same wheels were actually used on a DB9/DBS development mule which was snapped testing at the Nurburgring, so must have been ok..... :-)

The Berwick Bronze Vanquish was stunning, didn't get any more pictures of it and not seen one since unfortunately.

(I can also confirm that Jermaine Pennant, whose chrome wrapped DB9 was posted earlier, is indeed a grade A tool ;-) )

Oh yeah, father in law has a California Sage DB9 coupe, which I strangely haven't got any photos of to hand. Will do next time I see him. Goes well with his Ipanema Sand RR Vogue and dark metallic green Defender 90. He hates boring greys too...!

I'd disagree.



That just tells me the owner is a massive bell end.
Bell end is being kind......still could be worse he (or she) could have a number plate with 007 as part of it
GOD I LOVE THAT!!!!!!! ;o)
