THE CAR OFFERED
Exemplifying the muscular elegance that defines the entirety of the V8 range, this 1972 V8 Series 2 (also known as a DBS V8) is a left-drive example presented in the super-70s color scheme of metallic gold over a chocolate brown interior, and riding on authentic factory alloy wheels. While production records for this chassis are not available, we can surmise it was well-equipped for high-speed grand touring with factory equipment including Lucas fog lamps, an automatic gearbox, and air conditioning.
As offered here, this Aston is presented with a moderate overall patina and some notable imperfections. The V8 retains its factory Bosch injection and sits in a generally tidy and unmolested engine bay. The brown leather interior is generally well preserved, with the leather seats and dash showing excellent potential for preservation work with a pleasing, broken-in character. It retains original touches including the three-spoke steering wheel, air conditioning controls, and AM/FM 8-Track stereo. It is a good candidate for more extensive preservation work, or as a blank canvas to restore or modify to suit your taste.
Since joining the consignor's collection, this Aston Martin has been on static display in long-term dry storage and therefore will require mechanical recommissioning.
