Soft top Color?
« on: September 22, 2011, 16:03:21 »
Gents......

My car is the DB-180 (silver) with 122 (red) interior.  My data card says the soft top color from the factory was black. 

My soft top is aftermarket, and in very nice condition, but it is "red" and slightly different shade than the interior. 

Is anyone aware of a "red" soft top being an original color option?

From the list I have the following colors are original
white grey, brown, cream, light grey, black, dark grey, parchment, dark blue, beige, dark brown, dark green, brown beige, marine blue, and green.
Some of these I've never seen before at all.
They don't seem to list red as one of them.

Also from the same list, it also said if your car is DB180 with original soft top as black, your interior would be 117red and not 122 light red and with a silver hard top?  These numbers are pretty silly and meant for the original buffs only I guess.

Mine is DB180 too :) great color!

That is correct, no red soft top fabric on any Pagoda:

Thanks for the replies.  I tried to attach a picture of my car, but it was too large.  I'm trying to figure out how to make the picture smaller.

Here's the color of the soft top.  It is darker than the interior, which the data card says is code 122 light red.
