That's great news! By coincidence (& not intentionally) there are going to be more than a couple of BR specials together in Wales. We look forward to meeting you then Its the car AML should have produced for the DB9, but it takes BR to provide the touch of magic... will post some pics soon and see you on the Welsh Weekender..

Project Mathis has arrived, Mike very kindly delivering it back to my home at 11pm on Friday after 14 weeks at BR!
I'm so sorry that Mike couldn't leave to deliver yours home until mine had been signed off at the same time! 
It looked absolutely fantastic though, it really did

Did you spot TeaSpn in there having a face lift, sort of Spa treatment for herIt looked absolutely fantastic though, it really did
. My wife (on a similar but non related note) was in Devon for the weekend at a Yoga retreat, I guess I feeling kind of lonely without my girls;)Looking forward to seeing your new DB9+ on the Welsh Weekender!

I won't be there William, not my bag anymore 
Bit of work done and back there for more after a test drive at the weekend. Work in progress, as always
I think William was referring to GDC's DB9+ which will be in Wales with us next month. 4 BR specials on this one - just imagine the noise

Lewis - what is 'your bag' now that you are playing the old-married-man card? Got your pipe & slippers on in the DeeBee these days have you?

Ah, that clears that up then! GDC's car is a hell of a machine, swo many details to take in. Great car!I think William was referring to GDC's DB9+ which will be in Wales with us next month. 4 BR specials on this one - just imagine the noise
Who knows Mollypops - I mostly drive the Morgan these days, but I'll be 'forced' back into the Aston while that goes in for some work

When is your 6.0 going to be fitted, before Le Mans? Sorry your not allowed out to play in Wales!
TeaSpn had some technical difficulties with fitting of the V12S carbon front end today due to new under tray and wheel arch liners not being a perfect fit - revised parts on order.
Anyway, Zegato black/white stitching interior can go in tomorrow - that's a game changer

4 BR's - that's great, there can't be that many around. Bring on the open roads I think William was referring to GDC's DB9+ which will be in Wales with us next month. 4 BR specials on this one - just imagine the noise

William - the more I know the crazier I think you are. Look forward to seeing it 
You're getting to know me know Molly, always exploring materials and having fun playing with my creative brain, I guess that's what I love doing in life - being creative . The lower grille for the V12VS eventually arrived from Gaydon (5th grille
) the BR team are now having fun ordering different parts for my car to get the wheel arch liners and trays to fit underneath, here's a snapshot of WIP:
William
Love the Zagato roof lining. Roughly how much is this pattern for the seats? Ithinking of this conversion for my volante so won't need the rooff done. I asked the Q people at am Newport Pagnell last weekend but they said only gaydon folks would know. Also I guess it will be semi or full aniline leather ?

!! Game changer isn't it having the engine enhanced!It's fairly expensive working with Zegato interiors because of the time involved in stitching and leatherwork, if you want to chat about prices please PM me.
This is a close up picture, the middle area of each bay is slightly elevated. My choice was white stitching as it was the least imposing (next to all black). I chose to do only door cards, panel behind seats (Vantage gas this not your DB9) and the central roof - a kind of interior panelling. But keeping the light grey pillar covers and cross beams so the interior stayed spacious and not suppressed in black.
I found the seats in this finish too much when I saw them, so I am doing something else more simple in design with seats. Have you had the chance to see the seats in person?

Love it. The Zagato roof lining is really, really nice. That's a fantastic addition. Congrats!!!
