David Brown's latest Speedback GT 'Blue Moon' is finished and off to Germany
Name a prettier car...we'll wait.
David Brown Automotive has completed its Speedback GT, finished in their bespoke ‘Blue Moon’ hand-painted finish. This vehicle is a proper modern-classic grand tourer and it's off to Germany where it will live for the foreseeable future.
The iconic Speedback GT model – the staple of David Brown Automotive’s product line-up since the famous British brand was launched in 2013 – underwent an 8,000-hour build process at the luxury sports car maker’s factory in Silverstone.
This latest Speedback GT order was entirely bespoke, with a completely unique combination of handcrafted leathers, wood veneers, bespoke brightware plating and unique picnic seat feature.
As well as its special blue paint, this car also features 19-inch polished stainless steel wire wheels wrapped in David Brown-branded tyres, developed specially for this wheel option by British firm, Avon Tyres.
The car is also handed over with a set of bespoke Union Flag-inspired alloy wheels for the winter months. A black mesh satin grille is fitted, complete with inset auxiliary LED lighting.
Inside the Speedback GT, the car is given a one-of-a-kind look and feel with hand-crafted Elm Burr satin lacquered wood veneers and a ‘Tabak’ tan leather interior. All of the brightware has been milled from solid billets of aluminium and then plated in nickel chrome to give additional warmth to the cabin.
One of the best options fitted to this bespoke build is the custom drinks set that holds the owner’s preferred gin and tonic and two crystal highball glasses, along with a bespoke woollen picnic blanket, situated underneath the picnic seat that extends out of the boot of the car, a feature made famous by Speedback GT.
This bespoke addition can be specially designed for customers who want to serve passengers drinks, or to park up for the night and enjoy a G&T. This customer spent a day at David Brown Automotive’s headquarters in Silverstone to refine their bespoke specification, settling on the drinks set as a ‘quintessentially British’ signature of the car.
It doesn't get more 'James Bond' than having a drinks cabinet in your sports car. The price of this car has not yet been revealed, but it is rumoured to cost in the region of £500,000.

The front reminds me a bit of the Thunderbird that Ford brought out in the noughties though, so I’m not sure about the front 😀
