The Aston Martin Cygnet is not exactly a ten-a-penny car, but that hasn't stopped Aston Martin teaming up with Parisian fashion authority colette. Together they have created the "Cygnet and colette" edition and only 14 will be made.

The cars are built at Aston's famous Works Service department and each of the 14 limited edition models is finished in Lightning Silver with colette blue styling details. These include a race-inspired front bumper, door mirrors and diamond-turned wheels.

Inside, the Cygnet and colette has Bitter Chocolate leather upholstery, which has been inspired by colette's mascot, Oscar the brown Labrador. The cabin also features quilted Alcantara for the sun visors and door and seat inserts, blue leather cushions for the rear seats and a unique Cygnet and colette key ring.

All 14 of the special edition Cygnets will be sold through colette's Paris shop and prices start at €48,995 (about £44,000).
