r/AstonMartin

Found an Aston I really like and have the means of purchasing but I hate the color. It’s a blue that I would like to change white. Just curious on costs mainly. It’s the same year, model and edition I am looking for it’s rather rare so saying “simply find one with the desired color” isn’t really helpful unfortunately. Any advice or information is appreciated. My budget is $15k for a paint change. Thanks.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this car please? It was unknown to AM sources until 2023, and they have no details, other than publicly available.

It's a Jan 74 car, the MOT history goes back to 2006 online (which shows 36.7k), but there's nothing before that. There was substantial work in 2017/8 (engine rebuild to 5.7L & welding), with invoices since.

Has anyone owned it, or know who owned it, please? I'm particularly interested in mileage, the clock has C44k on it, but Bonhams have auctioned it twice, once posting 137k mileage and the subsequent time about 40k a few years later. Has the car been once round the clock? There's nothing to prove or disprove it.

Any info greatfully received.

Thanks if you can help.

Cobalt blue just pops. 😁

Looking to purchase a 2019-2020 Vantage out of state. The dealer won't let it leave the lot, but is fine with someone coming to check it out to do a PPI.

How do I go about getting a mobile PPI? Particularly by someone specialized in these cars? Google search just reveals a bunch of everyday mobile mechanics who seem to have never touched an exotic.

Hello, new V8 Vantage driver here - 2025 model - had it about 1.5 weeks so far. <2000km on it, stock Michelin summer tires.

In my part of Canada, the snow is mostly melted which is leaving some areas wet, but the temp is about 8 Celsius, so definitely no ice.

I’m driving in Sport+ Mode, Automatic, ATC on, and two times now I’ve felt the car slightly “fishtail” and feel like I’m suddenly gliding as I pass over a wet road. Both times on a straight road, going about 70-80km/hr, but definitely accelerating.

When I felt that sensation I immediately took my foot off the gas and nothing bad happened thankfully.

What is this sensation? Is it normal, and if not, what am I doing wrong ? I’m now nervous to drive this car when it’s raining and all the roads are wet. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

About to put a deposit in on a DB 12 but reading about AMs financial issues share price drop etc

Am I silly putting down a big deposit when this is in the news? I’ve also reas they’ve been bankrupt seven times so is it just business as usual? 😂
