Truly awesome, and 78,000 less miles than mine.

What a car! The interior is just stunning.

Gorgeous !!!
I remember one for sale last year with 5K miles.
Think that was Royal Blue too, same one maybe?

Can I ask who did the door card and interior colour coding etc?
Had the same idea for one of mine to do in Cream leather.
I dreamt of also upholstering the dash and centre console also with stitching Aston Martin style !!
Oh well perhaps in my dreams.

Hi,

As with other Members,may I also pass on my sincere complements to Nigel,for a truly stunning example of a fabulous looking 75,indeed a credit to you Sir.
I particularly like the walnut door flashes,& the dash shelf facia,would love these in mine,did you make these yourself,or can they be purchased? The overall car is definately a show winner,keep up the good work.

Very Best Regards.

John.

Looks good, but that exhaust totally looks wrong on that car.

Hi Jules / Bluejon. The door cards are standard on the car. I made templates and passed them to a local company to make walnut pieces for me. These were then bonded onto the door cards. The walnut pieces have been added over the years as they can be very expensive to make. If it helps I will check my notes and provide a cost breakdown for all extra walnut. I think the walnut Simon from Bulgaria makes is great value.

Regards
Nigel

Spanky,
I Fully agree with you. The exhaust trim was added because I cut the bumper out for the u shape chrome heat shield. Unfortunately, this left the 2 exhaust pipes looking odd as they sat too low in relation to the new heat shield trim.

All measured up and on my to do list is fabricate a st/st twin tail pipe set up which looks more in keeping with the rear of the car.

Regards
Nigel
