Karussell Orange N400

[ian-y7znh]

Afternoon all

I have put a deposit down on an N400 Coupe, manual in Karussell Orange at Edinburgh Aston Martin. It is number 220 out of the 240. Was it owned by anyone on here? I am the 3rd owner I think.

I was told by Edinburgh Aston that there are only 8 coupes in that colour. Does anyone know any differently?

I'm very much looking forward to collecting it at the end of next week.

It has a full Aston history and a 1 year warranty with the Aston Martin Timeless programme. Fingers crossed all goes well though after the warranty expires.

Looks like a great car - and was keenly priced.... they apparently had a lot of enquiries about it as soon as it was listed. Congrats!

AM customer service could probably confirm how many of that model/colour were sold.

Perhaps this might help.
From your comment, there must be a 1 in 8 chance of it being your car.
Look on page one of the Photo thread.

Thanks, did you go in and see it?
The salesman and the sales manager did mention that they had received a good number of enquiries on it but that people were having to travel to come and see it.
I’m local to the dealership so popped in as I had been looking for a nice V8 for a while.

Nope didn’t see it (but am also local and it came up in conversation about something else)

First of all, love the colour! I may be biased but I love a bright colour on a Vantage.

Regards numbers, I believe there were 48 in Karussell Orange, of which 31 were coupes. Of these 10 were manual, of which 4 were registered in the UK. There were also 4 manual roadsters in the colour, so only 8 UK N400s manuals in total which I think is where the dealer got 8 cars from. Enjoy!

Wow, that's excellent news. Thanks for that. Even rarer than what the guys at Edinburgh Aston Leven motors thought as they had stated one of eight in the advert for the car.

Should be getting it on Thursday evening. Cant wait.
