That's what logic told me, but it just didn't quite look rounded enough. It's likely the crop is misleading me!

Yeah looks like the front corner of an S4 Spider to me.

Love the colour of that 308GTB above cool

Love that, so innocuous, yet if you know what you're looking for just the right amount of bulge/flare in those arches. A fast saloon done right, sure makes the current batch of AMG/M car/RS models look absolutely wk (imo)

That's been looked after well, plus they've had it a while, they've owned that car since before April 2009 as it's still on the old style plates.

Now you mention it, one of the prototype Vantages in the 90s was a Ferrari-esque hue. It looked good.

It's okay, Aston Racing Green is a very flexible colour - it's all sorts.

Lionel Martin's son waded into a discussion in the AMOC monthly News Sheet to report that, in the twenties, racing Astons were painted green directly on to polished aluminium with no primer to achieve a metallic effect.

MOT ran out 5 years ago! Looks like it may have been having some pictures taken for something as a dealer has it for sale at the moment. My pictures above were from Manchester the other day. Ties in with the dealers location too.
