Flugplatz or not to Flugplatz?

Is that yellow a non standard one it looks to have a lot of metallic in it and almost seems to shimmer like morning Frost does, looks lovely what ever yellow it is.

To my mind the Vantage in all its guises really suits bright colours but at the same time the Ceramic Grey works so well also.

Looks like Yellow Tang to me. Stunning colour!!!

[J12KJR]

Hashluck I have to agree, the Vantage was a want one car from the day it came out for me and does look good in all colours just some more so than others IMHO.

Just looked at some images for the Yellow Tang, stunning pearlescent effect and with those black highlights

Yellow Tang indeed and the black interior also had the yellow accents.

Stunning

I see this one every time I drive paast Grange and it is utterly stunning:

But Volcano Red is also incredible in bright sunlight:

I'm biased on the Volcano Red but i wouldn't mind seeing that divine Red in the flesh, really looks to come alive in the sun.

[IanV12VR]

When we were speccing our blue one we seriously considered divine red. We had one of the car shaped blocks for a number of days and just looked how the colour changed in different lighting. Some really is an impressive colour changes but in the end we decided to go a bit brighter

Saw this car at the AMOC concours at Woburn and it had a factory plate on it. Couldn't get passed the blue colour combination (dark knight and aurora) on the inside which just didn't work for me. We were considering dark knight with red accents but some may like it.

the interior is very challenging .. just does not work with exterior (which is lovely)

IMO the interior is the reason the car has not sold .. I think asking price started at £124k

[J12KJR]

It actually looks like a nice interior just not with that exterior colour.
Interesting choice by whoever specced it up originally.

Really I have been past every day and have still not seen it.
Is it inside? Will go and look better tomorrow.

[Beefmeister]

Okay you got me, maybe not every time

I've seen it a few times outside, and I think it lives inside now.

It's seriously stunning though.

Are you in Brentwood?

[cayman-black]

Yes until March, Great Warley.

Went out for a sedate drive with Flugplatz yesterday and completely sold on Sportshift.

So deposit paid and picking up the twin Aston to Flugplatz's on Monday.

Photos obviously will follow.

Congratulations Craig and welcome to the very exclusive Flugplatz Blue V12VSR Club . Mind you when we specced ours I thought it would be the only one

Looking forward to seeing the pictures when you get her and now you need to get signed up for Burghley thought I would beat Ed to the punch

Congrats Craig!!
The gearbox will feel even better the more you use it. Surprised myself a few times recently with a couple of quick down changes / blips into a corner followed a lovely controllable over steer slide
Great car.

Fully on.
No doubt down to the Corsas.
Takes a little courage to give it a touch more throttle than you would normally but it will slide very nicely.
Roundabouts are a good place to practice ( you didn't hear that from me ).
Course the rears will need replacing soon, although I'm hoping they'll last until after a track day at croft in June!

Had any 'moments' in yours?

Seems Flugplatz maybe German for Hooner. Looking forward to joining the fold.
