Very nice indeed. With lightweight seats, B&O and a unique colour and only 500 miles it looks like a pretty fair price too!

Wonder if kbf1981 has spotted this yet? idea

Can't quite tell from the pictures what color that is. Is it like an extremely dark burgundy?

It looks very similar to Amythyst red to me. A sort of dark purpley colour that looks almost black until the sun hits it.

Try the dealers main website - some bigger pics to be found there.

Oh patience, what a virtue it is. Could have saved myself a lot of money by waiting 9 months and got a very interesting colour.

Still love my car though.

The details on the website say Royal Amethyst - I assume this isn't actually the same colour as Amythst Red, albeit very similar?

I think Amythst Red is a bit more of a purpley colour. It's the colour of the recent Dragon 88 Edition DBS Volante:
