^^^ I'm trapped in this camp, and dismayed that people think no-one will buy their old car if it isn't grey!

As someone said before on here in an insightful post, speccing a new Aston Martin is quite often a once in a lifetime experience, don't waste it by picking what you think other people will want. My experience is that used buyers are invariably more clued up and adventurous than you think.

To be fair Aston Martin aren't the first or only company caught up in the blizzard of greyscale cars produced in the last 15 years, but as style leaders it's their duty to lead us out of this monochrome hell.

Comparison of my [Ferrari] Rosso Corsa red vs my buddy's [Aston] Toro Red. He has the N420 carbon fiber front lip on his car - it was the one that came with the rear diffuser I put on my grey one.

That looks great but will be hell to drive in morning or evening light - reflections! Dealers should advise on the danger of light dash tops? But kudos for being courageous..

Hi. Was that at Burghley last year? If it was I was an admirer. Is it a wrap?

I ask because it seems different to the usual Aston oranges.

I'm up for an Orange Aston get together sometime.
This select group could meet up perhaps somewhere central In the UK.

Obviously somewhere with an Orangery.

Anyone interested?

Reviving this thread after I peeked inside the service bay at Stratstone Newcastle.Would be nice to see this out in the sunshine, and well done to someone for taking advantage of Aston's new and more adventurous colour palette.



Wow i love that.
