Spotted by a friend in the Sytner Sunningdale service location (which is actually in Ascot....)

Is this Dravit Grey? It always amazes me that with all the colour options on Alpinas that folk go for a scheme like this with no actual colour.

Not one I've seen in the flesh before ... suspect it was a customer order. Haven't confirmed the exact colour spec yet but unless it is Sonderlack, it'll be Mineral or Dravit Grey ... looks like Dravit I think. With the black dekor, grey wheels and black merino it really is an exercise in sombre understatement

Thanks Bob, and very diplomatic of you. :wink:

Oh dear. Covered under warranty though one presumes.

Grey is not generally my thing but Dravit looks lovely in the sun when the gold flake pops.

Admittedly Blighty, where the Sun hates us, is not the ideal place to show it off.
