Descripción
Fitted with the original engine (V/ 540/ 1050) and finished in Cambridge Blue with matching blue leather trim, this Aston Martin epitomises everything about a British built Grand Tourer of the seventies. The car appears to have been in the same family ownership for over 33 years before being purchased by the current owner in 2006.
The DBS V8 was replaced by the V8 Series III and was unveiled to the press in London in August 1973. The shape of the new V8 was similar to the previous model but featured revised front end styling and one of the major differences was the replacement of the Bosch fuel injection system with Weber carburettors. A number of improvements were made to various other aspects of the car including improved cooling for the automatic transmission, oil and water. Two optional rear axle ratios were offered and the front seats were redesigned offering greater comfort to driver and passenger.
The car is in excellent condition and a shining example of this fantastic car. The car comes out of storage only in summer for the odd outing. Due to advancing years, the owner is parting with a few cars from his collection.
The gorgeous sound of the long-legged V8 engine, the armchair-like seats and the tactile switchgear, all contribute to the effortless way in which this Aston Martin travels along with alacrity. Given the low ownership and condition of this Aston Martin, we have priced the car to be attractive.
