How about an Aston photo thread!

[EVR]

Beautiful car.

Reminds me of this, a picture my phone showed me recently as a memory. It's from a Cars & Coffee in Paris, September 2015. Back then I had a Maserati GranTurismo, good times. I wonder if that gentleman still has the Aston.

g4r37h very nice! How is the colour named?

[AlexT]

I'd say that is Volcano Red. Looks beautiful!

There is also a nice red V12VS for sale in France, lovely color combo, also red stitching in the interior, sadly not the lightweight bucket seats.

Just thought I’d share a photo which fits nicely on the back of my iPhone 12 Mini phone cover.

Following on from https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... I finally got some photos in the nice evening sun of this unique AMR V12. I can't stop staring at it

It really is quite something Nick inside and out.

[GTRene]

nice photos, rare in and outside and I see now the AMR writing, so also rare, cool.

3 days to go before I collect my Vanquish from Paris, along with a Range sport that I bought for my wife,
Getting excited and can't wait.

Your photos do it a lot more favours than the HWM shots!

Take off those ugly airbag/safety stickers from the dashboard side, first thing I diid on mine.

Ta! Let's face it, it's a V12S with a Performance Pack by default and some different paint and stitching. In a way, like many Vantage specials over the years (N430, etc.). But it feels really special, which is the trick

In all fairness, it's a weird paint to capture. It changes so much in the various lights. It got caught out in a light shower today when I parked up along a drive I was doing, and with droplets on, it looked quite different again. It's not a trick paint, but Aston has a number of these paint jobs which really change according to conditions (there's a very dark blue one, and Volcano Red could look quite orange in sunlight). All fun!

LOL! I should do, but feel best to leave them.

Talking about sticky things... the number plates are stuck on (front and rear). I didn't mind the front number plate plinth, even though it looks a little chunky. But it did purposefully serve as the first point of impact in any low speed parking bump (namely somebody reversing into a space in front of you). But I don't dare peel the plates off in case I take the paint with it. No that's that reg that's sticking with it. Literally!

Very nice! And nice to see the original, rounded side skirts. I can see why the V600's wanted to return to these. More of a Coke bottle design, which suits it so much

Enjoy!

[Import]

Thankyou…I love the look too…I’m enjoying as much as I can before the weather cramps out..lol

Congrats, welcome to the club! What's the story behind those wheels?

Lovely looking car, congrats.

I too prefer the origin nal side skirts to the ones that followed. This was one feature that was high on my must have list.

I know the feeling. I took a Yellow Tang V12VS out a while back, the paint looks extraordinary in the sunlight, but in different light states it can look less vibrant, and flattens out when the clouds roll in, the photos don`t really do it justice compared to when you`re standing there looking at it.

That’s a stunning car!!! They had one in AM Bristol last year and it was a real show-stopper colour. Beautiful!
