Description
This stunning Green Aston Martin V8 represents the pinnacle of British motoring in the early 1970s, blending timeless performance, luxury, and exclusivity in an unmistakably elegant package. The Series 2 replaced the DBS V8, refining its styling while maintaining the powerful presence and performance capabilities that defined its predecessor.
Powered by a 5. 3-litre V8 engine with Bosch fuel injection, the AMV8 produced approximately 320bhp, delivering a 0-60mph time of just 5. 9 seconds and a top speed of around 170mph. Having the luxury of an Automatic Gearbox, this beast offers seamless acceleration and effortless cruising. With its De Dion rear suspension and well-balanced chassis, this AMV8 provides both engaging handling and a refined ride, ensuring an exhilarating yet comfortable driving experience.
Visually, the Series 2 AMV8 refined the DBS V8’s that it replaced aesthetic, incorporating a more traditional Aston Martin grille and a cleaner, more purposeful front-end design with dual headlamps. Handcrafted bodywork and an unmistakable muscular stance, making it one of the most striking grand tourers of its era, and still today.
This example has covered just 45, 998 miles since new and remains in superb condition. First registered in January 1973, the car has been exceptionally well maintained, with its coachwork, paint, and trim presenting beautifully. The drivetrain, automatic gearbox, and mechanical components function nicely, ensuring it continues to deliver the refined performance for which it was designed. The car runs beautifully, offered in turnkey condition, ready to be driven and enjoyed.
With only 288 examples of the Series II produced, this is a rare and significant model in Aston Martin’s lineage. Its exclusivity, combined with its elegant design and formidable performance, makes it a highly desirable addition to any collection.
