Just a quick one, was it possible to get Grigio Titanio on a 2006 V8 Vantage? I thought it was only available on the latter cars, however one appears to have cropped up for sale at an Aston Dealer.

Presume so, my farther has put a holding deposit down on it pending an inspection I just want to check it was officially an option and not some previous history.

Interior isn't really to my liking, infact I personally think it'll effect the re-sale value but I guess each is to their own.

Grigio Titanio is a silver/grey Ferrari colour available on an Aston as an expensive 'Special Other Manufacturers Colour", so it should be fine on a 2007MY car, but if you have concerns give A.M customer services the VIN number and ask if it was the original factory colour for that car smile

.... Edited to add, just noticed you have posted again, while I was, if It's at a main dealer approved I'm sure they can confirm it is original. The Black Cherry actually looks better in the flesh, not sure I'd put it with Grigio T, but it ( and Iron Ore) were popular choices.

It is the original color, since that's where the dealer web site info on the car's exterior and interior comes from - the factory build config. And I think the interior goes great with the exterior...thank goodness it isn't another suicide black!

Hi Steve, hope you are good and enjoying your lovely DBS? The link to the car wasn't up when I posted, as you say it will no doubt be original via a main dealer, although not all the pre-owned spec comes from the DCS wink

Your question has now been answered.

There were quite a number of 4.3 Vantages in this Ferrari colour, all special orders. I think recently there have been three showing for a while, on the Pre-Owned listings.

There are fewer Grigio Titanio 4.7 Vantages, than 4.3s (but also fewer Vantages per year as well). In the UK, I only know of eleven 4·7 V8Vs, and it appears no V12Vs.

It is a beautiful colour, which really sparkles in the sunlight.

Usually, almost one third of the Pre-owned listings are black cars, so perhaps there are quite a proportion of owners who don't like grey. -> smile
