DBS spec question!

[exigepete]

Hello all, looking at getting a DBS, heard a rumour the latest cars have had some revisions compared to earlier models. What are these briefly and how can I spot them? Any help advice/guidance will be gratefully received! Thanks

B&O and TT2 .... ?

Looking at the car at Meridian Modena in Lyndhurst, up for 113k, does anyone know this car?

[Knights of Aston]

The '10 my car has different doors mirrors and the standard seat is reprofiled. There are also some electrical revisions.

Look for shiny speaker housings on the doors - that will be a B&O car (09.5MY or 10MY), if it has Carbon Fibre at the top of the door trims, its the first 09 MY version, which will be a manual.

Was wondering.... It seems as though all the DBS volante test cars have been reviewed with the new light weight wheels. Does anyone know how much lighter they are than the standard wheels ? Do you think it would make a difference ? Also quicksilver is coming out with the titanium systems for astons, they have one listed for the V12 Vantage. I imagine they might carry this over to the DBS. Seriously it seems as if you got 5 lbs less weight per wheel and then say 50 lbs lighter with the exhaust there could be a tiny difference in performance if you also added sport cats, but really why want for more...!

I don't claim any great knowledge of this, so no doubt listen to those like Angel who have DBS's and know what matters.

However, if it were me, I would want the following:-

2+2 seating
Manual
High end sound system with the rising speakers

I would also be inclined to keep the interior high end GT style, and not a carbon fibre fest.

thanks Cardigan - IMHO the TT2 box is better for daily use - city etc. - i would go for the light weight seats if to redo and the Semi Alcantara trim and steering wheel - but not for the MY 2010 wheels.

AND if i could spec one: british racing green with sahara tan and piano black facia
