Nah, that's grey. This is for coloured Astons

It's really difficult to get the true colour to show in the pics. Must try harder!

The only thing I would have done differently on that photo is fold the mirrors in.

You're sailing close to the wind on this thread but I'll give it to you, it does seem to have a blue hue. At least it's not the ubiquitous silver birch!

Well have a look at this photo taken at the Springs Concours at Duxford Air Museum last month - the truth is that our car looks anything from pure silver to summer sky blue depending on the direction looked at, time of day and/or weather conditions!

My DB2/4 Mk I moved last Sunday under it's own power for the first time since 1968!
It is in its original colour Imperial Crimson - about 2 - 3 moths off completion

Mainly just interior woodwork and then it's off to the trimmers. My slot with him should be in one or two months

Credit to you Nigel, incidentally who is trimming it for you? Perhaps we can chat at Burghley.

Hello Rich
A guy from Derby that does all the trimming work for Aston Engineering - so he's good!
See you at Burghley

Mine comes in a misty semi-matte wrap, grey or sea green, it seems.

Firstly, I hate you.

Secondly, why is this car/number plate familiar? Maybe I've just been lusting after it for sale at some point.. or?

Don't know why it's familiar? Given I am in US it has been in a dealer a couple times on extended stay ... and everything is for sale of course for the right arm twist.. pm me if serious...

Now that is the right sort of colour for a roadster/volante

I really wish I could afford it! Prices are way out of my league these days. Was this car ever at Aston Workshop in Durham?

Nope, not in the last three years I've had it anyway, and before me it lived in Derby..
