Why no more green Astons?

[polar8]

Apologies for the very gratuitous shot below - it is Christmas and I've just taken delivery so I'm very excited - but a question: why doesn't anyone order a green Aston anymore? Aren't Aston Martins supposed to be green? (Porsche are silver, Ferrari are red).

I promised myself if I ever saw a DBS (or more recently a DB9 GT) in green I would try and buy it. It took 4 years before one came up in the UK. Rare as hens teeth. Given many historic Astons and quite a few DB7s and early Vanqush were green - and the DBR9s on the track - why doesnt anyone seem to go for the colour anymore? Just curious! Merry Christmas!

wow! So happy to see so many green Astons. I was wrong- there are plenty green Astons. Nothing to fear then.
I'll have this one find another green one to get to know...

I drove the DB9 GT with fuse 15 out today. Oh my. OMG. It sounds better than anything ! Better than any V12 I've heard. What have AM done with the sports exhaust? Is it from a One -77??

Hardly Green

Absolutely superb colour and the hood too. Well done.
That profile shot should be hanging in the Aston museum.

What a beautiful selection of Astons in green. Here's another, albeit- an arse shot:
I'm in love with my green Aston
