Meteorite + black interior (thick silver stitching).

Number 6 from Aston Martin Park Lane - was expecting Oct delivery though just been informed by dealer that the first customer deliveries have been put back to November. I am apparently in the first batch.

P.S. Anyone want to buy my mint 997 S Cab in silver? Have posted on sales board.

Living in London has it's benefits but being the 211th on n the London dealers list isn't one of them. Gives me some time to get the spec right though. What is the premier spec likely to be?

Sorry if I misled you re driving the car at launch, is not so. I asked my dealer re driving the car before I ordered as I am away for the launch.

Is this a non-standard colour, or is it the same as California Sage Green?

When I looked at colours in the box the two that attracted me were Cali' Sage and Aston racing green, but I recollect the Zagato was a shade in between? Rich...

Those photos look a lot like Mercury Silver to me (has a slightly greenish tint compared to Meteorite Silver)...in fact, I saw a car with the exact same exterior/interior combination in the final stages of production at Gaydon when I was there three weeks ago.

Isn't Tungsten Silver lighter?

November 05. Though not holding my breath as estimated delivery dates in Sept' and Oct' failed to materialise. Dealership's demonstrator has been signed off production and is expected this week or next, so at least we should get drive soon!

What interior did you go for? (I put Taylors Grey lining and Black carpets with the phantom grey leather).

I guess I played it really safe! (It all seemed so easy when I ordered the 360 a while back.....Red with Black...done!)
