Stunning car but what a waste to only drive it 100 miles a year

Not sure I could stomach much more than 500 miles with that interior either. Personally. Not a fan.

Colour combo is totally wrong in my eyes.

yes Not for me either, a splash of red is one thing but that just looks like an explosion in an abattoir.

Still, each to their own and all that smile.

Interior not so much frown

I have a Lord's red interior on my Vantage (Quantum Silver),and love it, but this combination doesn't work for me.
Too blue with the brighter red?

The blue exterior and red interior just do not gel in my opinion.

Looks like someone ordered their favourite exterior colour and favourite interior colour without considering the combination.

Not my cuppa I'm afraid.

Red and Green should never be seen...

Blue and Red should be shot dead!

Not the best combo by a long way if you ask me, but an otherwise lovely car! biggrin

I like it. I think! Maybe not my personal combo of colours, but in isolation the exterior and interior are striking.
Certainly unique.

Colour combination is all wrong. Also, I'd rather get a car with 15k on the clock that's had its niggles ironed out. 5 yr old car and 500 miles are not a good combination either IMHO.

It is a manual, though.

500 miles in 5 years - that's probably the mileage each year to the dealer and back for the service - probably not used other than that which is a shame.

As for the colour combo think Lords Red would have gone much better. The owner obviously liked it but wasn't prepared to be seen out in public in it wink

Cannot have done it good to have done that little mileage.

I wonder how much a professional retrim would cost? Could the leather be dye'd in black?

Saw this car today. Actually quite refreshing to see a DBS in a more adventurous spec. Works better in the flesh than it does in the photographs and predictably, already sold!

Classic example of trying too hard, and trying to be different. A black leather interior in that car would look stunning. Not boring, not suicide inducing, just simply stunning - forever. And they'd be a line of people wanting to buy it.

Why do people like black interior so much? I'd understand if it was a case of dirt not showing, or easier resale, but many people seem to really prefer it aesthetically.
