With the brands benchmark being ‘beautiful’ it is no surprise that their design team spend more than forty hours on the interior trim of each Aston Martin and each exterior is painted by hand, taking more than fifty hours!
Aston Martin clients will spend in the region of £1000 on special contrast stitching on leather steering wheels or upholstery. The design team are equipped to offer advice on colour schemes, material choices, trim details and all the different elements that make these cars so special.
