HWM Aston Martin have recently shared this picture of a new addition to their Timeless stock. A Cosmopolitan Yellow V12 Vantage AMR with extra Q bits.
I can't find an advert for it yet, but I expect it will list a few extras in the Specification segment.

I like the wheels (are they unpainted OHMSS DBS rims?), although I wouldn't want to be the one who has to clean them. But I'm not sure if its spec is for everyone.

Definitely not for me but spec. is personal and I'm sure someone will love it.

Wheels are unpainted AMR Vantage ones, I think. Pretty sure DBSS/DB11 and Rapide are different PCD to Vanatge/DB9/DBS so not compatible.

I would not kick her out of bed but I would not have her specced that way.

Love the external colour, wheels would be better darker, and not sure about the wood waterfall, but all those could be changed, however the non manual gearbox would be the show stopper for me.

Wow, its actually an AMR V12VS....

I dont mind the colour, but the bonnet vents are a step too far on such a bold colour.

The cream on the seats, the cream lipstick and the wood trim - errr, NO. Certainly not with this colour anyway.

It will be interesting to see price that this goes up for.

Is that a guess or the actual price? Seems very low for an AMR, although it is SSIII which do go for less than the 7spd manuals do.

Yup - and the waterfall has to go back to CF too... Looks like some 1960's G-Plan furniture. I'd personally black the wheels in addition to the things you said also.

Probably cheap to do all of that however, and if that's the price then I think there is probably a bit of money to be made in the uplifted value once it looks properly coordinated again inside and out.

As it stands----yuk, i wouldnt want to buy it then start to throw money at it to make it look almost acceptable, waste of time and money. There are plenty of nice ones out there already.

I like my 'low profile' Aston Martin, but glad that there are also some 'bolder' colours. Pink with a white interior might possibly be pushing against the boundaries of good taste though.
