Why oh why are the "big" Astons with coloured exteriors/interiors all LHD and overseas? Do they not have the same James Bond fixation the UK has?

Customer of mine got some BC Forged wheels. I'm a vendor in the US but don't sell in the UK, so hopefully this isn't considered baseless advertising. Regardless, I thought you guys would like this very non-black, non-grey, non-silver example.

Looks very much like mine, Ghillies green with Kestrel tan

Beautiful! What colour is that?

[Loose_Cannon]

Not sure, just a pinched picture. Saturation has been enhanced too so probably not quite so vivid in real life.

It's either Cobalt or Ming Blue.......my money would be on Cobalt.

[matrignano]

Looks lighter than Cobalt?

[DB9VolanteDriver]

Cobalt is much darker and there was no Ming Blue during DBS years.

I like the fact the splitter has been painted on it, first Vanquish I've seen that has that. Shame it's in an awful colour though!

Not been far yet, but it's very different to the TVR Chimaera it replaces, but I was expecting/wanting that.
It's a lot quieter, I can't see fuse 22 lasting long, but then the TVR was antisocially noisy (de-cat and sleeved exhaust)
Small hiccup with the drivers door lock but it's a 'Timeless' car so going back tomorrow morning to have that sorted.
It's been a VERY long process from initial 'I want a Vantage' to Saturdays collection, probably nearly 3 years which included moving house to get a garage big enough to accommodate it, but it's all been worth it, I can't really believe I've done it but looking forward to getting some miles in it.
