If you were to tell one of Aston Martin’s representatives present during this photo call that one day far in the future you’ll be able to configure your car on a small electronic screen from the comfort of your own home, they’d probably laugh in your face. For now, though, they seem to think that several tins of paints, a couple of sharply suited salesmen, and a troupe of craftsman holding up a herd’s worth of Connolly leather will let the public know how they might be able to spec their DB6. Fortunately for us, Aston Martin has already built the perfect example — cherry red over tan leather? Yes, please.
