Postby glenwood » Tue Apr 07, 2009 12:42 pm

Hi everybody,

I'm from Belgium and I 'll be glad to know if some Gilbern GT run in Belgium or in France ?

My own Gilbern GT is B100161 reg n° CKJ 849C.

I know Gilbern GT B100145 reg n° CPK79B have, after total restoration with the aim to race, a new owner in the north of France.

Thanks for each reply and have a nice day in your Gilbern !

Hello Arnaud,

I can't help you with any information sorry, I have a Genie.

But welcome to the forum and Gilbern ownership. Would love to see some photos of your car.

Richard.

Hi Arnaud,

Loverly looking car the DB4 Zagato. By chance I worked at Aston Martin for seven years so I've emailed a contact there to see if he can find the colour match.

Alternatively you could contact the Brand Communications Department at Aston Martin Lagoda Limited, Banbury Road, Gaydon, Warwick, Warwickshire, UK, CV35 0DB and see if they can help. +44 (0) 1926 644644. Lasty the Work Service department at Newport Pagnell may be able to help as it's there they restore old Astons.

Or go to http://www.astonmartin.com and try their car configurator. May not find the colour you want but you can drool over a DBS :D
Regards,

Derek

Arnaud

My Aston Martin contact tells me its...

Colour Name: Aston Green

Colour Code:AST1117D

Formula Reference:

1533W 95.8
1405W 92.7
1432W 62.2
1428W 16.0
1401W 9.0
1539W 3.5
1418W 2.5
1640WB 580.8
1650WB 145.2


You will need to contact Dupont to get the paint mixed but it may look a tad different as it will be applied to a GRP body!!!!

Just one word of caution, double check it if you can, I would hate to think it actualy come out pink or something :oops:
Regards,

Derek
