Well done from the factory for the pics.
It's going to look great.
Oh, hang on. Some idiots put the steering wheel on the wrong side :-)

Have I missed the start of this thread or is there some in conversation going on behind the scenes?

great to see the light interior, complements the alloro green beautifully

Ah I see...

Told you, Karl - easy! Well done A.M - it's this kind of stuff that makes owning an Aston so special.

You couldn't do this at Porsche - the bloody thing would have been built in the time it would take to sign in at reception!

Another well done for A.M.

Yes, I'm very grateful to AM for taking the time to do this.

FWIW, I put in my request via the customer link on the AM website as suggested by some here. That was 2 days ago and today the sales manager at my dealer forwarded me an email the factory sent him with the attached pictures. Impressive. I half expected that my message would go unanswered.

Now I have to figure out who to bribe for them to "accidentally" put the engine of the V12VS behind mine in the line into my car instead.

BTW When I showed the build pics to a friend, he said: "You should see if they could just ship you the parts and you'll put it together to save some money ".

I think he's right. They should just save themselves the work. After all, as soon as I get it home, I'm just going to take it apart anyway.

Just asked on another thread about Alloro .... and I've triggered London bus syndrome ... !!!!

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.

Karl, that's amazing they sent you these pictures - very cool to see the new GT in built
Thought no one was allowed to take pictures inside the factory;)

[krisdelta]

Great colour Karl - when will you get your hands on it?

[V12woollie]

That is going to be a beautiful car. Love the colour and the interior. Can't wait to see what you can possibly think of to improve it

[KarlFranz]

The interior is going to have black Alcantara inserts in the seats and door cards with yellow accent stripes and stitching to match some of the exterior yellow accents. You can already see some of the yellow stitching in the pics above. It'll be a little different from your typical silver/grey/black Vantage with obsidian interior that's for sure.

[cayman-black]

That is one stunning looking Aston.

It's taking them eighteen months to build my Macan

[KarlFranz]

Well, there's been a lot of progress since last set of pictures. These may be the last ones you see before it goes on to get "Q'd" by yours truly.
