Aston Martin has always understood the emotional pull of colour, especially when it comes from a period when its grand tourers helped define British sports-car style.
The new Heritage Collection turns that archive thinking into five one-off modern commissions, each finished in a revived shade from the 1960s and 1970s.
Created by Q by Aston Martin in collaboration with Aston Martin Newport Beach, the collection applies period character to current 2027 model-year machinery without turning the cars into nostalgia exercises.
At a glance
- Aston Martin has unveiled a five-car Heritage Collection of one-of-one bespoke sports cars.
- The collection spans the DB12 Volante, DB12 Coupe, Vanquish Coupe, Vantage Coupe and Vantage Roadster, each wearing a revived heritage paint finish.
- Every car was individually specified by Q by Aston Martin with bespoke interior details and exclusive Heritage identification.
Five archive colours across Aston Martin’s current range
The collection is built around five distinct pairings of model and paint, giving each car its own personality rather than repeating a single theme across the range.
The DB12 Volante appears in Pale Primrose, a soft period shade that suits the open-top grand tourer’s more relaxed character.
The DB12 Coupe is finished in Pacific Blue, while the Vanquish Coupe receives Tudor Green, a colour that naturally leans into the marque’s long association with restrained British performance.
The Vantage Coupe wears Winchester Blue, and the Vantage Roadster completes the set in Mink Silver.
Each finish has been re-engineered using Aston Martin’s latest paint technology, so the cars carry the tone and spirit of historic colours while meeting contemporary standards for application and finish quality.
Q by Aston Martin adds the cabin signatures
The exterior colours are the headline, but the interiors are where the commissions gain their more discreet collector cues.
Each car features bespoke perforated fluted seats, a detail making its debut in the latest Vantage and Vanquish within this collection.
There are embroidered Heritage logos on the centre armrest and exclusive sill plaques, both serving as subtle reminders that these are one-of-one specifications.
Select cars also receive Dark Walnut open-pore wood inlays, a classic material choice that brings warmth to cabins that remain otherwise thoroughly modern.
That balance matters, because Aston Martin’s best bespoke work tends to feel confident rather than theatrical.

A heritage project aimed at modern collectors
This isn’t a continuation car exercise, nor is it a retro remake.
The appeal is more specific: a set of current-generation Aston Martins with a direct visual link to the brand’s mid-century and post-mid-century palette.
For collectors, the one-of-one status will be the obvious draw, but the more interesting detail is how carefully the cars avoid looking like simple paint-to-sample builds.
The revived colours, fluted seat treatment and Heritage badging give the collection a shared identity while preserving the individuality of each model.
It’s a reminder that Aston Martin’s archive doesn’t only live in old racing photographs or concours lawns; it can still shape how a new DB12, Vanquish or Vantage feels when specified with restraint and purpose.
