Sorry, no pics, but I've just seen one in leamington spa and my god, it was horrible. Clearly a factory car, but what were they thinking!!! George would've have a fit if he saw it and mostly likely would've crashed.

Yes, it was created for AML use. Wonder if it has been sold. Probably unlikely.

I think there was mention of it in an AM Magazine. The was an occasion that the car was created for, but cannot remember what.

Like this one I spotted in Lech on a boarding trip a few years ago. Mind you there might be a few customers for one in Lech.

Truly awful.

Wow, I just had an insight into what it must be like inside George's mind. I have the urge to warn everyone else about it lest the evil persist.

That is just horrible.

I've seen an acid green one around town, which is pretty nasty, but that is a new level.

I mean... what... how... you go into the dealership and order a cygnet - for a bet, or because you've had a few too many at the D&D or whatever, and they show you all the hideous paint options, and you pick gold...

Surely they have people at the dealerships to head that kind of thing off? "Wouldn't sir like a nice boring grey one" or "I hear white is popular this recession sir".

Maybe it was a joke, but the person forgot to cancel the order before it was delivered?

Just one step away from a gold wrap, is a chrome wrap.

At Gaydon there have been two Vantages on display for some time.

First there is the beautiful yellow car that is 'floating'. An impressive display.
Is it a pre-production car?





Then there is, well I am lost for words.

Please contribute your comments, complimentary, humorous, or otherwise.

Those guys really know how to take something laughable and wave it in your face until you're laughing through the sheer unreality of it all.

For a brand that I love for being understated wrapping it in gold or chrome is very very odd. Customers can obviously do what they wish but this...from the factory!
