The Proper Colour for an Aston thread - silver, greys, black

[Neil1300R]

Ok, following on from the non grey, silver, black thread I thought it was time for us owners with the proper colour hues for Astons - Greys, Silvers, Blacks to post up pictures to show the "look at me" owners with their OTT coloured cars what real class looks like.

So I give you Meteorite, with obviously Obsidian Black with coarse silver stitching interior.







Obviously all comments above are meant in the best possible taste and not meant to start an argument, just an excuse for others to post their pictures up

Hardly rare. I've seen many DB9s with a Mahogony fascia, although Walnut is more typical.

Very, very rare on a Vantage. Only available at launch, dropped as an option within the first year IIRC. Vantages' don't have any wood in the interior as a rule

Nice! Has it got brown flecks in the paint or is it just the light?
Great interior, especially with only the seating having the dual colour.

everyone in this section colour blind?

Nope just understated and elegant

Thought I would bump an old thread as not everyone can tell the difference on all the different silver / greys from Aston.
Understated and Elegant all of them!

The proper colour for an Aston Martin?

For all you youngsters who think Aston started with James Bond can I ask you to look at this and leave you to think again...



Okay, as you were...

GREEN!!!!



Has no place in this thread.

This is Amethyst Red I am told, lovely unusual colour and not typically AM but IMO works really well

If you squint it almost looks black - whicgh would fit right in with the theme of the thread.

Although I do like Amethyst.

And just to keep the OP happy here's the same car in a nice combination of black and silver

What a big improvement! Looks so much better

[Neil1300r]

Bump!


For the newer owners that missed this first time around, post up your pictures
Remember its only for tasteful understated Astons. None of the "look at me" Astons so, no coloured allowed here!
