Iron Ore leather - 2007 onward?
Discussion
I'm on the lookout for a Vantage and with the additional equipment and updated seats I thought an MY2007 onwards car would be the way forward. The problem is I'm pretty keen on Iron Ore leather and there don't seem to be any 2007+ cars with that. Did they stop it as an option or is it just the selection of cars on the market at the moment?
I believe it's still an option so probably just rare.

Iron Ore topped my list for a while too. Until I saw one at a dealer. I found it too much and didn't think I could live w other it long term. It's worth finding one to look at before you decide it's the way you want to go.

I just think a nice coloured leather suits an Aston so well and with a grey or black car there's not much that would go is there? Cream is not that durable (car will be a daily), black is nice with silver stitching but not "special", grey - well, might as well be black, so where do you go?
Thanks guys - that's cleared up. So it is available, just no cars on the market just now. I've seen one Iron Ore interior in real life and liked it but it was only for a few minutes, so would have to spend a bit more time deciding if it was something I could live with.
As tan was mentioned, I'd been keen to see Kestrel in real life. It's ugly as hell in the pics I've seen, but as you say, they never really reflect reality.

Iron ore is stunning! Is it Hightisedrifter's car that has a two-tone black-iron ore interior? Nice compromise...
If I had gone for a grey/silver/black car (i.e. I had no soul) I'd have wanted iron ore!
Kestrel is challenging for some but I love it with black paint. Sandstorm is a nice compromise between cream truffle and Kestrel.
You can tell dealer spec cars vs buyer specced cars, almost always

Here’s Iron Ore on an 07 MY DB9. I decided against buying this particular car because of it. Though in retrospect, I could have lived with it.
I rejected every two tone car seat interior out right; ‘deck chair’ colour coding is definitely a marmite choice.
Moon Shadow was on my list, but never found the right spec. An Aston in silver is a timeless classic.

I agree, I love iron ore interiors.If I had gone for a grey/silver/black car (i.e. I had no soul) I'd have wanted iron ore!

A rare one that is also very nice is the special order Bentley Cognac:
Sahara tan is fantastic too:
Sandstorm and Cream truffle are still my favourites though
I really like kestrel... And iron ore..... In fact anything but black or grey....
Mine is sandstorm and olive, with a sort of bottle green carpet.... I love it, and the sandstorm seats seam to be holding up well, but I do use saddle soap on them. Would have loved to have found kestrel but non around at the right price when I was looking, or if there was, the exterior was the wrong colour for my tastes...

I was just saying to my mate the other day that Aston seems to work with more colourful leathers (although still the more restrained tones) much better than other brands. I'd be far less likely to spec a Ferrari/Lambo/Porsche with any of the interiors shown for some reason. Bentley is similar - is it down to the gentleman's club image of rich colours rather than the sportier/slicker image of the others mentioned which tend to be the usual black/bright red/cream? Or am I just weird?
That Sahara tan looks the business in that pic - I'd probably have the sections on the steering wheel retrimmed black, but other than that...
