Lovely car!

My buddy has a California Sage DB9 and it is simply stunning.
Thanks - strangely enough at the weekend a California Sage DB9 drove past me - and you don't see many Astons down here!

I love my Toro Red (really suits the Vantage imho) but the only colours I maybe like more are California Sage and Aston Racing Green.

Don't think that's California Sage unless the light is really changing it.

That's exactly the same as me. I was looking for a green V8VS but couldn't find one, then I bought a beautiful Tore Red.

Beautiful!!! Your interior is almost exactly the same as mine!

I've been thinking about getting a few Q key pouches made up - green leather with white stitch. I suspect because of obtaining the leather, it might be more cost effective to get a few done. Would anyone be interested in them? I don't have pricing yet - but with a bulk order - I might be able to haggle a bit of discount.

Chris.

Even when it is wet, happiness is, California Sage Green.

So I've started a little project. I decided that I really wanted a custom key pouch. I tried to go the Q route, but long story short, they can't do it retrospectively to a new order. So, I'm going the old fashioned route. I've now got some beautiful Parliament Green Aston Martin leather (that happens to match my interior), and a wonderful friend who's going to help me (my stitching is a bit b%llocks). I thought about try to replicate the glass key pouch with the whole in for the buttons, but I think it's going to complicate the project.

As it happens, I've got quite a bit of leather - perhaps enough for 10 pouches. If you'd like one, stick your name down. Price will be £45 each with free UK postage.

Cheers

Chris

No it's definitely not - it's a Jet Provost.

Which green was this, used in the early promotional brochure? Always thought it looked stunning and played a part in me buying my first V8 in 2006.
