8 Barely Driven Aston Martins Looking for New Orange-Obsessed Owners
On October 8, British auction house Bonhams will sell a series of eight unique Aston Martin cars covering the 2010-2011 model years. How unique? Well, just look at the pictures: they’re all finished in bespoke Orange No.1 paintwork, exactly like the Swiss customer who commissioned them wanted.
Oh, and their leather interiors sport the same colour, too, which is probably enough to get your daily dose of vitamin C. Jokes aside, “The Orange Special Limited Edition Collection” offers another interesting twist: each car has barely been driven and is almost as good as new.

Overall, the collection is said to be worth more than half a million euros (approx. $720,000 CAD), which is certainly a hefty sum yet not quite as much as we expected for these almost-new British octuplets.
"This is a truly incredible and bespoke offering, and I envisage collectors wanting to secure the entire collection with many others trying to win a particular favorite,” said Gregory Tuytens, Head of Sales at Bonham Cars. “Whatever the outcome, the new owners will own a unique part of motoring history."
