Hi. As a new PHer, I hope my post is completed in the expected manner.

Everyone has their favourite colour for an Aston Martin. My preferred choice is
Grigio Titanio - Ferrari. Owners will know that this is a fairly rare colour.

Just out of interest I am compiling a list of UK registered Vantages (Model Year 2009 onwards), that have been built in this colour. About a year ago, the factory told me that there were just over 30 cars. I now know of 7 (those advertised for sale during the last two years).

For security reasons, I am only listing outline information (Model Year, First Registration Date (to identify each car), Model/Body, Basic Specification (transmission type, suspension type, interior colour) and a Photograph (usually without number plate).

I have read on this forum, that 'lady topaz' owned a Grigio Titanio 4·7 Roadster, until recently changing to a V12 Vantage. Is that particular Vantage Roadster, the car that was first registered on 30 September 2008, and advertised for sale this year, by a non-main dealer in Sheffield? If so, it does already feature amongst my list of 7 cars.

TO ANSWER 'Starti' and '897sma'.

I own a Grigio, and just wonder if it's specification makes it almost unique.

If you note the original post, I am not interested in location, registration number, or VIN.

Sorry, only just seen this thread.

Tis true I had a Grigio V8V Roadster. Great car and colour. Checked my remaining paperwork and it was indeed registered 30/9/2008 so would appear to be one you have already tracked down.

There is a pic on my profile as well as a couple on page9 of the 'photo' thread.

Hope that helps.

Thank you 'lady topaz', for your contribution to my topic.

I was able to add the V8V Roadster (that I now know was previously your car) to my Grigio Titanio list in March this year, when it was advertised for sale by Silverleaf Cars, Sheffield.

Possibly it may be unusual for a fairly young Aston Martin, to have somehow escaped from the main dealer network.

I am sure that your V12V must be fantastic. 510 bhp might get me into trouble though. Even with 'only' 420 bhp, I sometimes accelerate, suddenly notice three figures on the ----, and quickly brake.
