Photos of my 2007 Vantage at last!

So I know it has been about 4 weeks since I bought my Vantage. I finally shot some photos of it yesterday. The power Pack parts are back ordered, so I will shoot the engine again once it is installed.

Chris,
Yes it is, I talked with the first owner, he bought the car from the same dealer that I bought the car from new. He did not order the car, the dealer did. I have a friend that has the same year Vantage as me back east. It is the same car except the seats are light tan and black cherry.

I made that part of the deal. I did try and push them to give me some luggage as well, I guess you can't win them all.

Gorgeous Color, and beautiful interior. I can just imagine your Permagrin--an affliction all of us Aston owners have a hard time suppressing.

I love seeing Astons with color, both exterior and interior. Not just any color, but the subtle and refined. Especially impressive is a two tone interior. I've seen several examples of unfortunate choices, but when it's right, it's so right.

Yours is one of those. Subtle, elegant and nuanced. Is that brown, red, black, etc.? Colors like these change in different light and bring a real sense of occasion to the visual experience.

Why do I feel like there were more efforts with two tone interiors back in the first few years the Vantage was available? Seems most new ones are really timid with black on black, maybe a tan interior here and there. BOOORRRRINNNNGGG.

Thanks for the kind words. Although I didn't order the car I certainly appreciate the original specs. The paint is Merlot, the interior is Obsidian black / and black Cheery. Although this is not how I would've ordered the car, I can certainly appreciate it thought it was quite stunning. When you're buying a car used sometimes you make a choice normally would not. Don't get me wrong the more I look at the car the more I realize it's, Natalie unusual but very attractive.
Thanks,
Ron
