Unveiled in August 1973, the Series 3 differed from earlier cars with the arrival of four twin-choke downdraft Weber carburettors which replaced the previous Bosch fuel-injection system
To accommodate this new arrangement, the bonnet sported a distinctive bulge that continued to the trailing edge and a lip adjacent to the boot replaced extractor louvers behind the rear window
Purchased by our vendor in 1997, this Winchester Blue Series 3 was in regular use between here and his villa in Marbella
The Aston's history file contains receipts for works over the years, old MOTs and an owner's manual
Unused for some years, it benefited from a brake service in 2024 by Pilgrim Motorsport
It's currently running and driving, but will need some recommissioning prior to returning to active use
An honest car, largely original condition and showing just some 50, 580 miles from new
