Because of him, I couldn't get AM Racing Green coupes out of my head. So I went and bought one, with a green interior to boot!

I traded in my Midnight Blue DB9 TT Volante, spent all my money, and have a pissed off wife and daughter, since they can't drive a manual. Oh well, c'est la vie!

Damn you Tony Hall...;)

Gorgeous. Now a set of the anthracite wheels (or have yours painted) will finish it off very nicely.

Exhibit A:



Exhibit B:



Exhibit C (different green though I think):



I looked for a green DBS for ages and couldn't find one.

Had to make do with this instead.

Looks truly amaising, much better than all the dull dull dull dull shades or black, sliver and grey...!

Agree about the wheels. I had seen the press photos you posted and the dark wheels really suit the color better than the silver wheels. I am loathe to paint them though. Maybe can find a used set...

I figured you'd like it, being the 'man of green' that you are.

I do like silver in general, but I wanted something different. When you search for a DBS, you only find shades of silver, gray or black, all with black interiors. Not very bespoke for a car of this caliber. Certainly not to everyone's liking, but I probably won't be seeing another one any time soon.

A rather laboured point which always seems to rear its ugly head whenever somebody buys a green AM.

DB9VolanteDriver, that is one stunning car, and I'm glad to see you have a fairly balanced view on other colour schemes.

Might I suggest a name change now...DBSGreenCoupeDriverUSA, perhaps smile
