Looking great, Dave. Is the painting of the inside of the bonnet standard, or something you specified?
Now that yours is near completion maybe they can get on with mine!!

Great stuff Dave!
The car looks amazing!I love that colour too!
And your smile says it all - fantastic!
Well done all round.
How wonderful that you can visit the factory as you have and be so involved in the build.There cannot be many if any Car Manufacturers in the world where you can do that.
Looking forward to seeing Tigger soon!

The paint inside the bonnet is standard Alan. My Roadster has red paint inside the bonnets, but not top coat quality. Bumble has top coat quality inside the bonnets so I reckon it keeps getting better. I've seen cars with grey inside but I don't know when that changed.

Thanks Dave. They must have changed it post 2008 as my current one is grey. Looks better in the body colour.

I think it may have been an option in 2005 when my Roadster was built.

Dave, the car looks fantastic and the colour looks wonderful - can't wait to see it.
Your comments about the factory and the experience of watching it being built are excellent too. Interestingly, I was at a conference last week where Andy Palmer, CEO of Aston Martin was talking about his career and also his plans for AM. He was talking about increasing production to a maximum of 6,000 cars per annum as the upper limit above which would be too much. It was a fascinating talk and he was talking about the exclusivity of the AM brand and I have to say I felt a bit smug sitting in the audinience knowing that MMC production is about one tenth of that!!
