The very definition of egregious excess...?

https://www.carthrottle.com/news/very-orange-collection-aston-martins-auction

As part of a special commission, Aston Martin made no less than eight cars in a bespoke shade of orange for the “private gentleman,” ....with matching orange leather interiors.

They were ordered, received, never used, sat around for 10 or more years and now they are for sale.

    That's because he could hide from the police by just standing next to one, something that I'd imagine he'd be rather keen on doing at the moment.

    They're 20 years too late to the party. Those would've been handy when the "You've Been Tango'd" ads were still popular.

    Imagine if Trump walked past one of those. He'd disappear into the background and you'd just see a floating suit and trousers.

    Seems sensible you me. Everyone knows the orange ones are the only ones that taste different.

    They're everything an Aston shouldn't be
    Astons should be British Racing Green with a deepTan Leather interior
    .......these look like wide boy Lambos not a gentleman's sports car/GT

    I actually think McLarens are the only other brand besides Lambo's that look right in orange, that's the colour I plan on painting my McLaren Senna body shell once the weather is right and I can get hold of the right paint.

    All to Swiss spec?

    Nice to know what stolen Nazi gold gets you these days.
    We have to be so very careful, what we believe in...

    Trust me, you can't get a deeper (spray) tan than these have...
