Orange Aston Martin Collection Up For Sale
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a fleet of striking orange Aston Martins, your fantasy could soon become a reality. An extraordinary collection, featuring all eight of the British marque’s 2010 models, finished in a bespoke shade of orange, is set to go under the hammer at Bonhams’ The Zoute Sale next month. What makes this auction even more remarkable is that each of these grand tourers is practically brand new, having seen minimal road time since leaving the factory.
The story behind this unique collection dates back to the turn of the last decade when an anonymous “private gentleman” approached Aston Martin with an intriguing request. He wanted to commission special Swiss-spec examples of every roadworthy Aston Martin in a custom shade of orange, inside and out. These cars, reminiscent of the iconic Hunter Green Collection of 1980s Aston Martin V8s, appear to have been meticulously preserved for display purposes, boasting extremely low mileage (ranging from 70 to 235 miles) on their odometers.
Among the highlights of this vibrant collection are the DBS Coupé and DBS Volante, both equipped with a 5.9-liter V-12 engine churning out an impressive 510 horsepower. These athletic GTs, featured prominently in Daniel Craig’s early James Bond films, offer a thrilling driving experience. The hard-top DBS can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 mph. Auction estimates for each DBS model range between $85,000 and $128,000.
In addition to the DBS duo, the collection includes coupé and convertible versions of the DB9, a V12 Vantage Coupé, a four-door Rapide, a V8 Vantage Coupé, and a V8 Vantage Roadster. These unique Aston Martins for sale are expected to sell for various prices, ranging from $42,000 to $128,000.
The opportunity to acquire one of these rare citrus-colored Aston Martins—or even the entire set—will be available at The Zoute Sale, taking place on Sunday, October 8, in Le Zoute, Belgium. For collectors seeking to own all eight of these stunning GTs, it’s estimated that the complete collection may command a price tag of around $500,000. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of automotive history that’s as unique as it is vibrant.
