I can't be impartial here with Tungsten, but F me that's a good looking car. Those wheels are lovely.

Thought it time I shared a pic. Apologies the garage isn't up to usual PH standards, I'm working on it.

I came across this Vantage 4.7 with some nice goodies, are those little bags with zipper a extra option for those lovely lightweight carbon seats?
those are in a N430, looks handy for some smal items, so they are at hand and not moving through the car.





I also love (same car) the wheelspacers, front 15mm and rear 25mm per side, looks good me thinks, creates also a wider track for more road/track presence.
It also used 20mm lower H&R springs.

Never saw those zipper bags before. The seats' pattern must be a special commission too. Do I spot I signature on the GPS cover?

The spacers look very good indeed.

well spotted, signature seems to be from Walter Röhrl, the old rally and also Porsche driver. (The AMR stickers are just 'stickers' the car is not, although a nice example if you delete that single stripe over the car)
the seat pattern not sure, maybe seen such once or twice before when looking through the hundreds of Vantage ads over the years, seen a few sorts.

but such zipper bag, which can be very handy, I can not remember seen ever before.

A while ago I was looking and informing around a V12V with a nice brown interior that had sadly no carbon bucket seats, and later I found another Vantage but V8 4.7 with also such nice brown interior, but included with those carbon seats also in that brown, must be very rare as well.

I downloaded also those pictures as example.

hah, I just found out that the seat pattern is indeed special?
just came across this picture with some AM V8V N430 special editions, the pictures I used came from a N430 with Stealth in the tekst, nothing more, so I thought, maybe because of the black and carbon? but no, its a "Stealth Edition"
I did not know those, here the picture.




edit, and yea those seats with the bag and zipper come in that editon Stealth... see example

N430 and Clubsport! The historic racing DNA inspired N430 is arguably the most spectacular version of the V8
Vantage!
The beauty, dynamism and performance formed the basis of this captivating special edition.
The Aston Martin GT4 racing car-inspired Clubsport package "Stealth" gives the N430 a distinctive look
Accents eye-catching exclusivity.

Outside front spoiler, flaps, wing mirror caps, rear diffuser and even the
Tail light strips in expensive and exclusive gloss carbon.
In the interior door handles, center console and rare lightweight bucket seats in matt carbon as well as N430 logos in the
Door sills in Forged Carbon.

The clubsport package "Stealth" was a rare special edition!
The lightweight body made of composite materials is based on a rigid aluminum core. Compact dimensions,
ideal weight distribution. Compared to the V8 Vantage, the N430 weighs 20 kg less. A fast
Steering ratio, sports suspension and stability control ensure maximum agility.
I wonder how many Stealth editions were made in LHD and or RHD

Nice finding! I have an N420, but those choices were not there for mine.
