    Market Find: Q by Aston Martin Zaffre Blue Vantage

    What: 2019 Aston Martin Vantage
    Color: Q by Aston Martin Zaffre Blue Metallic (metallic UNI; AM6030; Aston Martin)
    VIN: SCFSMGAW5KGN01180
    Mileage: 22,622 miles
    Price at Time of this Writing: $96,500
    CarFax: Link
    Location: Federal Way, WA
    Auction listing: West State Motorsport

    We’ll be the first to admit it- of all the Tailors featured in our regular rotation, Q by Aston Martin generally isn’t one of them- and that’s a shame. Aston is, after all, a legendary brand that makes a stunning car which also happens to depreciate like a rock. This particular example, finished in the absolutely stunning Zaffre Blue Metallic is just $96,500. Sure it’s 6 years old, sure it’s done 22,622 wonderful miles, but we’re talking M3 money here for something that’s sure to turn more heads than a BMW sedan ever could. With a clean CarFax and the much, much more reliable AMG V8 under hood, and an asking price that wouldn’t begin to touch a Paint to Sample 911 of similar vintage, this Aston is well worth a good hard look.

    Aston Martin DB12 Volante Palm Beach Edition

    • The first-of-its-kind Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante brings the highest level of Q by Aston Martin personalisation to the open-top Super Tourer
    • Nautical exterior and interior features curated by the British ultra-luxury performance brand’s in-house bespoke division, incorporates unique patterns and materials to celebrate the Palm Beach lifestyle 
    • Limited to only one example in Frosted Blue Glass paint, the Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante was created exclusively through Aston Martin Palm Beach

    Gaydon, UK: Aston Martin Palm Beach, in partnership with the ultra-luxury performance brand’s bespoke service Q by Aston Martin, commissioned a one-of-a-kind DB12 Volante that blends renowned British craftsmanship with Palm Beach-inspired design themes. The DB12 Volante incorporates unique patterns and materials to celebrate Palm Beach and further elevates the elegance of Aston Martin’s 680PS open-top Super Tourer.

    The Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante is a tribute to oceanic blue, featuring an exclusive Q by Aston Martin Frosted Glass Blue exterior paint. The exclusive paint color exhibits qualities unique to the use of glass flakes within the topcoat, creating the unmistakeably mesmerising shimmer effect that perfectly encapsulates the south Florida sun. This is only achievable through hand spray application due to the complexity and delicate nature of this colour. The open-top Super GT also features a Club Sport White pinstripe applied to the front splitters, side sills and rear bumpers, highlighting the DB12 Volante’s firmly planted sportscar stance, as well as Gloss Jet Black diamond-turned five-spoke wheels.

    With the convertible top dropped, the cabin’s custom features and nautically themed duotone colorways are on display, so even those beyond the cabin may appreciate the custom commission. The Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante features a bespoke palm-leaf motif incorporated throughout, including on the complementary Aurora Blue and Ivory leather and Spicy Red contrast stitching. Seats include palm-inspired embroidery, which extends to the center armrest and door-sill panels; even custom engraved polished aluminum Palm Beach Edition sill plaques feature the same palm pattern. The palm motif continues to the exterior, where the aluminum side strakes were milled to reflect the palm-style stripe. The DB12 Volante features open-pore Linear Light Olive Ash book-matched wood trim throughout, specifically chosen to emulate the rich texture of palm wood. With a nod to the coastal location, the vehicle has Palm Beach’s latitude and longitude coordinates embossed onto the leather dashboard. Diagonally book-matched veneers on the rear of the front seats mimic the palm motif and include metal inlays engraved with “Palm Beach.” The DB12 Volante is also fitted with Gloss Jet Black Diamond Turned Vantage wheels, which offers a more dynamic and sporty treatment.

    “This extraordinary DB12 Volante model perfectly encapsulates the understated elegance of both Palm Beach and Aston Martin,” said Pedro Mota, Regional President of Aston Martin The Americas. “Through a collaboration with Q by Aston Martin and Aston Martin Palm Beach, we have created an exceptional sportscar that merges stunning performance, artistry and luxury. This Q commissions is bound to entice more customers to create a unique specification with Q by Aston Martin, where peerless creativity and British craftsmanship generate vehicles as unique and special for their owners.”

    The in-house design and craftspeople at Q by Aston Martin are renowned for their exceptional skills to create truly bespoke Aston Martins, with the Palm Beach Editions serving as testaments. Offering limitless customisation opportunities, Q by Aston Martin invites customers to embark on a distinct commissioning experience, where every detail from subtle accents to fully tailored components, can be designed to their exact specifications, offering discerning collectors the opportunity to own a piece of automotive artistry at their unique tastes.

    Color Check: Audi exclusive Frosted Glass Blue Metallic R8 V10 Performance Spyder

    Sometimes, from the archives of the world wide web, we uncover something worth noting. We check forums, social posts, and even old dealer listings. That’s exactly what happened with this find. Lamborghini Newport Beach, thank you for posting those photos online; they’ve found their way to the Tailored Driver audience.

    Here we have an Audi exclusive Frosted Glass Blue Metallic R8 V10 Performance Spyder. If you know your blues, you know this is not an original Audi color. This blue originates from Aston Martin’s “Q” special-order palette and has been adopted by Audi through its Audi exclusive program.

    We weren’t able to source a color code from Audi, but looking at it’s origins at Aston Martin, the official color code is 6003D, also referenced as AST6003D or AM6003. This color is described as a light blue metallic with a subtle white flake, achieved using actual glass particles to create its unique shimmer.

    While Audi does not publicly list a specific code for this color, a user on Reddit mentioned that the Audi/BASF code is DE01-2018-2218-4.  However, this code may not be universally recognized.

    Love it or hate, you’ll have to admit this is a pretty rare color for the 4 rings brand. In our research, we came across a few models wearing this Aston Martin blue, including a TT RS, RS 6 Avant, and RS 4 Avant. While this specific R8 is no longer for sale, we find the VIN in hopes of learning more. We didn’t get far. But if you’re up for a deep dive, the VIN is WUA4BCFX4L7900884. Let us know what you find.

    Friday 23 May 2025, Monaco, France: Aston Martin Valhalla made its global public dynamic debut ahead of the Monaco Formula One® Grand Prix weekend yesterday. Driven by Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® team driver and two-time Formula One World Champion, Fernando Alonso, Valhalla took to the iconic Monaco street circuit ahead of F1® practice, having recently completed final validation testing both on road and on track.

    Valhalla has already captured the world’s attention with its fusion of Formula 1® performance-driven technologies. Close collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT) – the consulting arm of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1® Team – on dynamics, aerodynamics and materials have brought an extra dimension to the design and development of Valhalla. Having only appeared in public on static display until now, this was the supercar’s first dynamic public performance, highlighting its cutting-edge hybrid powertrain, superior handling, and unparalleled driving dynamics – not to mention its scintillating design.

    A monumental moment in Aston Martin’s rich 112-year history, Valhalla is seen taking to the infamous street circuit through Monte Carlo in a AMR25 race car inspired Podium Green with a Lime Green livery with the supercar’s principal development driver Fernando Alonso at the wheel, pushing the car to its limits around Casino Square and through the Tunnel.

    Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® team driver, Fernando Alonso, said, “Having followed this project closely for the past 18 months and working alongside the development team, unveiling Valhalla’s dynamic capability to the world at the Monaco Grand Prix weekend is a fantastic moment for both myself and the brand. Taking Aston Martin’s unmatched luxury credentials and added cutting-edge F1® inspired technology and class-leading performance, I can confirm Valhalla is a true supercar both on road and on track. Outside of the outright power and dynamics, it delivers on all of the raw feelings and emotions you look for when behind the wheel of a car like Valhalla.”

    Adrian Hallmark, Aston Martin CEO said, “The extreme performance and unprecedented dynamic bandwidth that distinguishes Valhalla from its rivals presented many new opportunities to both the engineering and design teams throughout its development. To witness the culmination of the tireless work from all teams involved, showcased on an iconic F1® circuit like Monaco and driven by an icon like Fernando is a significant moment in Aston Martin’s rich history of both road cars and racing.”

    With a combination of 1079PS and 1100Nm via the hybrid powertrain, Valhalla is a car of many ‘firsts’: Aston Martin’s first series production mid-engined supercar, first plug-in hybrid and first production vehicle with dedicated EV range capability. The marque’s first model to use the bespoke 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 engine – the highest performing V8 engine ever fitted to an Aston Martin – and the first to use the marque’s all-new 8-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which incorporates an e-Motor and electronic rear differential (E-diff). It is also the first application of the all-new front axle twin motors, which facilitate torque vectoring and contribute to the all-wheel drive system.

    Limited to 999 units, delivery of Aston Martin’s ultimate supercar, Valhalla, is set to commence in H2 2025.

    Gaydon, England – For the first time in the marque’s rich 112-year history, Aston Martin’s iconic wings will proudly sit beside the royal Coat of Arms of the British sovereign, having been awarded a Royal Warrant by Appointment to His Majesty The King.

    “Our appointment by His Majesty represents a truly proud and historic moment for Aston Martin, reinforcing the longstanding and esteemed relationship we hold with the Royal Family,” said Adrian Hallmark, CEO of Aston Martin.

    “Displayed with pride across our branding, the Royal Warrant is a testament to the dedication of our employees and our unwavering commitment to the values of British design, craftsmanship, and engineering excellence. Principles that His Majesty has steadfastly championed.”

    Whilst official confirmation of the new Royal Warrant came in May 2024, only now has Aston Martin formally applied the prestigious Royal Arms to its branding, following release of the new Royal Coat of Arms of King Charles III by the College of Arms. Founded in 1484 the College of Arms is responsible for creating and maintaining official registers of coats of arms and pedigrees. The heralds who make up the College are members of the Royal Household, and act under Crown authority.

    The granting of a new Royal Warrant follows Aston Martin being honoured for innovation with the King’s Award for Enterprise in 2024. It continues Aston Martin Lagonda’s eight-decade long history with the Royal Family, dating back to 1954, when Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, took delivery of a three-litre Lagonda. The following year, Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin, the Duke of Kent, acquired a DB2/4 from the Aston Martin team that had won the 1955 Monte Carlo rally. But it is The King’s beloved DB6 Mk2 Volante that has remained an icon of the Royal Family’s long association with the marque and Aston Martin’s hand built British sports cars.

    The King has been a member of the Aston Martin Owners Club since 1973, with Aston Martin holding a Royal Warrant as a Motor Car Manufacturer and Repairer to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales since 1982 and now carries the arms of the sovereign for the first time.

    In more recent times, the DB6 Mk2 Volante took centre stage of the wedding of the current Prince and Princess of Wales in 2011, with the sight of the Royal Couple departing down The Mall in an Aston Martin thrilling thousands of cheering onlookers. And in 2020, as Prince of Wales, His Majesty officially opened Aston Martin’s new state of the art DBX SUV manufacturing facility in St Athan, Wales, a move that saw manufacturing commence of the first production car built in the country for more than 50 years.

    In 2022, the same car provided a grand entrance for The King and Queen to the Opening Ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. While more recently, in 2024 it was proudly displayed at Sandringham during a gathering of the Aston Martin Owners Club, which saw more than 75 Aston Martin models grace the royal residence. A fitting celebration for a brand now decorated by royal appointment to the monarch.

    Why we love it:

    Spoiler alert. The car you see here has been repainted, but in grand style and a truly unique shade that makes it so very one-of-a-kind that we can’t not report on it. The car you see here was actually delivered new as a right-hand drive coupé painted Cairngorm Brown with an Olive interior – a very subdued British car for a British customer who lived not far from the Aston Martin factory.

    After shuffling through a few well-accounted for owners, the car shifted to the ownership of a prominent Emir in 2010 who commissioned a conversion to left-hand drive and a color change inside and out to Hermès orange.

    From there it went to its current owner, who had it restored by Le Clos de Calatrava in collaboration with Aston Martin Works UK, completing that job in October 2024. Even still, the unique orange on orange color choice was retained.

    The car is now ready for its next owner and will be sold as part of Bonhams’ Les Grandes Marques du Monde à Paris Auction in early February.

    CODE:  AST1140 (also 1140)

    TYPE: Metallic

    CONTENT ARCHIVE: Aston Martin Racing Green

    SUMMARY:

    The story of Aston Martin Racing Green likely begins with England’s pre-war national racing color of British Racing Green. At a time when top-tier racing represented pride in one’s nation, blue stood for France, red for Italy, white (the silver) for Germany, yellow for Belgium, white with blue stripes for the USA and for England… green.

    Why green? The exact origin of this association with Great Britain isn’t fully clear, but the most common tale that tends to be told involves a nod to the so-called Emerald Isle of Ireland. At the time, racing on public roads of Great Britain was banned, so British racers tended to head to Ireland for such competitions.

    Brand historians will tell you that green hasn’t always been the theme at Aston Martin. Initial racing cars from Gaydon were presented in grey, black or natural metal finishes. At that time, the races they were entering weren’t international, but in 1922 when an Aston Martin was entered in the French Grand Prix, that car car was painted a very dark shade of green that would adorn works Aston Martins into the late 1940s.

    Then, in 1949, that green shifted to a pale, metallic shade of green. The underlying paint code in question was more commonly referred to as Almond Green by paint suppliers and manufacturers. However, as Aston Martin became more of a racing fixture in the world of sportscars and also Formula 1, the color became more indelibly linked to Aston Martin.

    In 1999, on the occasion of marque’s 40th anniversary of winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Aston Martin reintroduced the color and coining the name “Aston Martin Racing Green”. And, when Aston Martin reemerged in F1 in 2021, the marque saw the opportunity to cement its own racing identity with its distinctive take on green – with less emphasis on the more traditional and darker hue we tend to think of when we imagine British Racing Green. Over several seasons since their return, the color has been further perfected.

    “There’s been a lot of work since (2021) to bring out the green,” says Jack Brown – Senior Manager Colour, Material and Finish for Aston Martin.

    “The F1 car that we launched in ’21 was a very sophisticated colour, and it looks truly amazing on road cars – but it was a little bit too dark for the cameras, appearing almost black in certain lights. Our task then, was to capture that darkness and sophistication in subsequent cars but give it more brightness and punch in the highlighted areas. It wasn’t a case of making the paint lighter, just a question of making the highlighted areas shine.

    “Ceramic pigments float within different layers of the paint and you have to ensure those pigments are suspended in exactly the right layer for the highlighted areas to be bright enough. And, because this is F1, we strived to achieve the lightest application of paint to keep the weight down. The paint is applied at a microscopic level. It’s about 20 microns thick – that’s less than half the width of a human hair.”

    Since its association with the modern Aston Martin Racing F1 team, not to mention painting it on GT racing cars and safety cars around the world, Aston Martin Racing Green has captured the heart of brand enthusiasts seeking a tailored build for their car. Whereas Almond Green had a limited take rate amongst Aston Martin road car clients in the 1950s, Aston Martin Racing Green is the most popular color for today’s Aston Martin customers.

    Jack Brown continues, “I think that’s a really nice link to the pinnacle of performance for our customers. It doesn’t just look like the paint on the F1 car, if you buy a car in Aston Martin Racing Green, it genuinely is the paint from the F1 car. It’s exactly the same formulation.”

    Why we love it:

    Whether or not you’re in the income bracket that can choose to buy an Aston Martin with no top nor windshield, or have the means to enjoy it in whatever capacity one would, we still find cars like this “barchetta” style 2021 V12 Speedster to be fascinating. Aston Martin only built 88 examples of this open cockpit two-seater as tribute to the DBR1 that won the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, and they rarely come on the market. So, it’s notable when this single family owned example with just 46 kilometers on the odometer hits the market, as this one will very soon from now as part of RM Sotheby’s Münich sale.

    This particular car represents Aston Martin’s racing pedigree well, finished as it is in Aston Martin Racing Green, then accented with Clubsport White roundels (a.k.a. meatballs). Inside, its Conker saddle leather is finished in Virdian Green and Caithness leather accents. It also comes with its books and a pair of Aston Martin Racing Green helmets.

    Las Vegas, NV – Ahead of the highly anticipated Formula 1® Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix, Aston Martin will celebrate the pedigree of performance and British ultra-luxury craftsmanship with an unforgettable collection of notable models – ranging from iconic on-screen stars to its most potent V12 flagship ever, the recently revealed Vanquish V12 flagship and the AMR24 Formula 1® challenger – publicly displayed throughout select locations at Fontainebleau Las Vegas now through November 25.

    More than 20 vehicles showcasing Aston Martin’s high-performance products and notable heritage worth more than $18 million will be on exhibit across Levels 1 and 2 of Fontainebleau Las Vegas. The lavish display will also culminate with the North American debut of the DB12 Goldfinger Edition, a strictly limited-production vehicle crafted by the ultra-luxury marque’s bespoke personalization service, Q by Aston Martin, in celebration of 60 years of the iconic association between Aston Martin and the James Bond film franchise.

    The British Bloodline exhibit is unmatched and represents the largest automotive display to-date at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. The display, curated by Aston Martin and Hagerty, whose renowned classic-car experts have assisted with procuring the heritage lineup, will reflect the timeless appeal of Aston Martin alongside today’s most coveted vehicles, which include:

    2025 Vanquish. This new V12 flagship features a brand new front mid-mounted 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine that delivers unmatched performance within its category.

    2025 Vantage. With a nameplate ravished in racing royalty and 30% more power than its predecessor, this two-seater stands as a symbol to thrill seekers.

    2025 DB12. The latest evolution in the DB lineage redefines what it means to be a tourer, reaching new heights of driver connection, performance and driver supremacy.

    2025 DB12 Goldfinger Edition. Q by Aston Martin lavishes the Super Tourer with the ‘007 treatment’ in the form of subtle touches from the Goldfinger film to commemorate 60 years since the legendary partnership in cinematic history began. The exterior features Silver Birch paint, bespoke gold side strakes, and a bright chrome ‘Q’ fender badge, while the interior includes an intricate perforation pattern as a nod to James Bond’s classic suiting, and an ‘eight of hearts’ embroidered into the drivers’ sun visor, a nod to the playing card seen in the last draw during the famous Miami pool scene in Goldfinger.

    2025 DBX707. The supercar of SUVs has a new technically advanced interior to match its uncompromising performance.

    2024 Valkyrie AMR Pro. The ultimate hypercar with a radical design, inspiring the Valkyrie Le Mans racer with a V12 powertrain and power output of 1000HP

    1964 Aston Martin DB5 Stunt Car Replica. One of eight exclusively built and engineered by Aston Martin for No Time To Die, with each car uniquely modified for its individual role on screen.

    AMR24 Formula 1® challenger. This is the first vehicle to be designed and built at the state-of-the-art Technology Campus. It has been designed to provide the perfect platform for in-season development as Aston Martin continues its relentless pursuit of progress.

    1952 DB2. The beauty, performance, handling and quality of the DB2 established the Aston Martin character for the post-war generation, realizing then-owner, David Brown’s vision for the company. With an all-new design, the DB2 made its debut at the 1950 New York Auto Show, demonstrating the importance to Aston Martin of the American market.

    1957 DB2/4 MkIII. Offered in three body styles – a coupe, convertible and a hatchback style – this particular MkIII was fitted with the standard, and incredibly elegant ‘Saloon’ body. Like the previous DB2/4 models, the MkIII had an opening rear hatchback, a first for the industry when the model line first appeared in 1953.

    1960 DB4. More svelte than its predecessor, the DB4 was an all-new design first seen in 1958, featuring an elegant aluminum body styled by Touring and hand built at the Newport Pagnell site that the company still occupies to this day.

    1963 DB4 SS Convertible. Only 33 of the 70 DB4 convertibles Aston Martin produced came with the ‘special series’ (SS) designation, which indicated a more powerful engine,  featured triple SU carburetors and a higher compression ratio.

    1963 DB4 GT.
