Build Book?

Has anyone ordered a build book for their car? It looks pretty neat but I'm not sure it is worth $600.

Each bespoke book is made to order, beautifully bound and shipped directly to your specified address. This commemorative book features three sections; the history of Aston Martin, the vehicle model story and finally, behind the scenes imagery of the journey of your own car from the beginning to end of the production.
I am going on the factory tour in Gaydon at the end of September to hopefully see my Vantage being built. If I don't see it for some reason (build delays, etc.) I may get the build book.

Thanks for the link. It looks like I have some time to think about it (and save up for it) since I can order the build book even after my car is built. That's good because the car hasn't even gone to build yet and I am already saving up for paint correction, paint protection film, and ceramic coating!

If you are ordering a new Vantage, the build book should be a must IMO.

I agree. I'm just glad I don't have to buy it right away, before the car goes on build, and I can save up for it.

This is a great idea, I tried to get Lotus to do this, with my 2005 Elise, and my 2011 Evora. They did send me some Digital Photos, in the end.
My 2016 GT is not new enough for this program how ever. I definitely would’ve paid for a book and ordered one if my car was eligible.
