⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The Aston Martin V8 is a machine of understated style and elegance, one of the finest cars of its era.

These Aston Martin cars were completely hand-built and required over 1,200 man-hours to finish. Just 1,018 examples of the Series III AM V8 were built during the five years between 1973 and 1978, of which only 484 had the automatic gearbox. This model AMV8 replaced the AM V8 Series 2 (the DBS V8). The DBS models had introduced the William Towns body styling. In 1972 the six-cylinder engine used in earlier DB models was replaced with the 5.3 litre V8 engine designed by Tadek Marek. This power unit, used in this Series III AMV8, was powerful enough to propel it to over 150MPH. In 1973, Aston Martin switched from fuel injection to carburettors, this was externally noticeable by the taller bonnet scoop to accommodate the four twin-choke (twin-barrel) Weber carburettors. The Series III also reverted to the famous "shark's mouth" grille. In addition, the V8 benefited from ventilated disc brakes, air-conditioning and larger tyres.

This car has been in current ownership for 27 years, and an important detail to note is all potentially expensive issues will have been ironed out a long time ago. This car is presented in "Smoked Silver", with a tan interior which has recently been deep cleaned. It also benefits from a new set of Avon tyres, as originally fitted. It has a good record of maintenance , 2 sets of keys and is MOT and road tax exempt of course.
