Is anyone with experience of it, able to roughly describe this colour to me? Pictures can vary greatly. I'm aware that it was used on the Bond DB5, so is it an exact replication of that? Presumably metallic? Does this look right on a modern car?

Haha, thank you for the offer! Unfortunately it's about 4 hours away and I can't work out whether or not I'd like the colour. I'm also not sure why a Dec 2010 registered car would be '10 model rather than MY11.

A classic light metallic silverish color with a hint of the afterglow of a beautiful warm tropical sunset. A timeless combination that will (and has) endure(d) the test of time. One of my favorite Aston colors too although I'd spec. a chestnut brown, or a deep red interior along with it. The added benefit of the color is it hides dirt and other imperfections…. it wears well.

Just gave Howard the sales manager at H R Owens a call and he said there is no physical difference between a 2010 and 2011 model year and the car will have been built pre-July 2010. For more info speak to Howard or to Rachel smile

I don't think that's the case, unless it's not a December reg. I'm fairly sure it doesn't have glass switches which = MY10.

Oh thank gawd for that!

Five months is a long time to be sat unregistered. Cancelled order? Did they realise they'd actually ordered beige? I mean afterglow tropical sunset?

AJ if glass switches are not fitted B. Rose will fit them for you. I think Silver Birch is a superb colour if the deal is favourable go for it!
