The original DBS review from Top Gear was a Chiltern Green (I'm sure) DBS 2+0 with carbon seats and graphite 10 spoke alloys available on the first couple of years of DBS production. They ran it against a similar coloured V12 Vanquish.

Question: where is that car and how do I get my hands onto it?? I've never seen a green DBS for sale in the last 5 years. I've never seen a 2+0 with carbon seats!

Why? I almost bought an Almond Green Vantage. But I'd love a V12. I want that TG car...
Help?

Not Chiltern. It is Racing Green without any question, as confirmed by several sources. There happens to be an Aston Martin Green DBS for sale at this moment on eBay (from Canada). I will grant you, however, that they are as rare as hen's teeth, especially in the UK it would appear.

I love this green, if I had the money, I would swap out my V8V in mendip blue 2 for exactly the same car in this picture.

What green is this??

Almond Green. The pictures often don't due it justice. When you see it in the tin, it's stunning. It seems to change in different lights. I get more compliments on the colour than on the car.

An enquiry on the DVLA website shows KX57 AON is not taxed.

Could it now be in the Top Gear graveyard, with all those Morris Marinas and caravans? - smile

Really nice colour, I do love my blue, but like I said, the colour and alloys and of course the V12 would be what I would have.

I'm not really a fan of the black grill but it looks great with that green.
