Which Aston Green is This? DB5

[Neil1300R]

OK, what green is this?

[tonyhall38]

racing green...

[LordBretSinclair]

Whatever green the owner specified when the car was rebuilt, not necessarily an Aston colour

That's quite a garage!

Love the 246 Is that an Austin Healey behind the DB5?

Indeed!! Is that a white Maserati MC12 hiding at the front too?

Looks like it to me, also looks like an E Type far left behind the Aston?

your favourite Ferrari is there as well - Testarossa. Not in these shots though. Will look to see if I have any decent photos of it. Everything crammed in at the moment, more space required.
Yes it is an immaculate Healey

Skip the Testarossa and everything in there would also be in my dream garage...

Maybe a black F50 instead of the MC12.

Don't even know if the Aston colour is period, most DB5s have been extensively redone by now... Could be something modern like Jaguar Racing Green..?

Neil, does this guy need a new best mate because I'm available...

You would be back of the queue behind me and others - although I have asked! He employs a guy just to find him classic cars from around the world - offered to do it on a lower salary.
He has a red F50, which is at Ferrari World along with the Enzo, a F40, 2 xDaytonas, etc.

If you wanted to recreate the colour, you could use a spectrometer and get a paint guy to match it very precisely.

It looks like a metallic paint; Were they even doing metallic paint back then?

Surprised about that Yeti, thought you wouldn't like the fact that the cars don't seem to get driven

And Neil, definitely get some pics of the rest of the garage / Testarossa up

Do you see what my role as 'new best mate' would be yet..?

Oh yes, the 1950s Aston Racing team cars were metallic and Dubonnet Rosso (dark metallic wine red) was introduced in 1959 with the DB4.

I guess this garage is somewhere in Dubai?

For starters



If you want anymore you've got to name this car. Will buy a pint to anyone that can name the car.

Well there's a Testarossa and a Miura, but the blue one at the back is puzzling me a bit. Looks a bit like a Ferrari 250 SWB to me but I can't convince myself that's what it is. Maybe a Ferrari 330 America?

As for the other picture.... well I'll come back to that. Initial thoughts are some sort of early Lancia or Alfa Romeo?

It looks like the colour that was used to paint the Santion II Zagatos in 1991. It is know as Santion II green but its actually a Ford Colour!
