Nice pics, but what's that stick thing where the Rowntree fruit pastilles should be?

[hartley]

Ah another manual Volante like mine - as rare as hen's teeth - and superb.

I'm Yeti on here Tony! Great day out and first time the car has been cleaned. Not by me I hasten to add...

[Simpo Two]

Damn. That is very very nice... how much am I going to scrape up for the Volante, roughly?

Yes I have to agree.
What colour is it?
If I could find that colour manual car, with contrast stitching, sports wheels, piano black facia and 2 -3 years old - I would swap.
I think I may be in for a long search!

I was hoping someone might tell me what model it was. After the DB7 I'm afraid they all look rather the same to me, and the terms Vantage and Volante are applied liberally over all models. Volante means convertible and Vantage usually means 'the fastest' but it doesn't help.

[tonyhall38]

Both DB9's.....

Yes, but what colour is the Volante?

[tonyhall38]

chiltern green...i believe...

I love AM's in green - not enough of them about IMO. Saw one advertised in "Ghilies green" the other day, but i confess the photo made it look very dark green which put me off a bit. Anyone know if its really that dark?

The angle of the sun/light can make a massive difference to some colours. My S-Type is Jaguar Racing Green - in dull light it looks bottle green, in full sun it sparkles like a 7-up can, sometimes it looks almost blue! So you have to see them for real.

Looking good again Tony.

I hadn't noticed before how much 'rear deck' was showing on the volante until your comparison shot with yours behind. For me the killer body line is the raking roof on the coupe, both still gorgeous though.

[paddy328]

still looking good mate.

[Dave_ITR]

Looking good.

Tony, I had the pleasure of following you through Horley once, are you local?

[tonyhall38]

yes...Crawley...

[george h]

Love the colour! I hate seeing these in dreary grey, silver and black.

[Neil1300R]

So which one's the Fern Green one then?

[tonyhall38]

my list is getting longer.....

Tony is right, my car is Chiltern Green. Looks like quite a greyish green in the pictures, very close to California Sage (50s DBR1 racing colour) in the flesh though.

Not only rare to see 2 green DB9s but also 2 manuals... really does make the car into a monster, can't recommend the manual box enough!

Sports pack alloys are now on their way just to start the personalisation process - this is a car I intend to keep for the long term, at least until a green manual Volante DBS becomes available at the right price
