You may add me to the list. I've received word today that mine has been completed and has started it's voyage across the pond to the States. Also doing a green coupe from Q, though I chose a slightly more understated colour - historic Aston Green. We're only getting 100 units here in the US so I'm quite excited to have the opportunity to enjoy one. Will post pics once received.
Rather pedantic, I know, but is it:Aston Green
Racing Green
Aston Martin Green
I ask because 'Aston Green' is pretty dark and not a color you ever see on an Aston, whereas Racing Green is the iconic shade seen in many Aston models throughout the years.

Not pedantic, but I agree an unusual choice. It took a few conversations with the factory to get it done the first time with my original V12 Vantage a few years ago. Aston Green

stunning
the Aston historic greens are indeed somewhat confusing
Is that the same green as the V12 Zag that BR worked on ?

It should be 3-4 weeks in transit, based on prior experience. Expect to take delivery mid-September if all goes well. I was told when the order was secured that mine would be "the first" to the States. I'm not sure of the truth in that, nor do I frankly care about that stat, but I'd suspect it is among the first batch to be arriving based on others I've spoken to with cars on order.

Not sure. Hard to say with photos but that car looks to be a touch more green than 'Aston Green'. As you say, there are so many greens they've used historically that it makes things difficult to identify correctly in photos. Absolutely stunning car though. Wow.Hi Trey - Do you have any updates on the progress of your car's transatlantic journey?
Also does anybody in the UK have a confirmed delivery date yet? I've been told that the factory system is showing my build commencement date has moved forward from 28th to 12th October which should mean I get the car mid Nov now.

I've asked for as late a build date as possible, well into next year. Which is probably just as well as I'm already stressing about paint colours. Your Cinnabar photos got me thinking about orange but think I've discounted it now. Rest of my spec is pretty much sorted except the paint and interior. I have to say your thread on your spec was really useful so thanks for that.
cheers,

The first UK delivery appears to have taken place today to a Mr A Palmer of Gaydon Warks. He seems to have acquired a satin finish Marianna Blue V12VS manual roadster.

I'm hesitant to part with it but certainly open to discussing it. I'll PM you.Good news, my V12S Manual has just arrived! Hopefully I'll be able to make time to collect it tomorrow. Pics will be posted of it shortly, looking forward to seeing how it all turned out.

Well, AM Bristol have had a stock roadster in for just over a week, so not sure if that counts! 12pack said:
