The Aston Martin V8 holds a remarkable place in the marque's history, serving as the foundation for three decades of model evolution. Its introduction marked a significant turning point, influencing the design and engineering of subsequent Aston Martin cars.
The DBS V8's engine propelled Aston Martin into the exclusive realm of supercars, establishing it as the fastest production car of its era.
This V8 powerplant became synonymous with the brand, maintaining its status as the longest-produced engine in the Aston Martin line-up until 1989.
Registered in March 1971, this particular DBS V8 boasts a distinguished ownership history. Over the years, it has had four registered keepers, with one devoted owner cherishing the car for more than 33 years.
The V8 underwent a 2,500-hour restoration by ROE, completed in 2022, which included a full respray in its original colour, Dubonnet Rosso, with Connolly Vaumol leather.
The fully documented restoration of the V8 is presented in a photographic album, bound in the matching leather of the car.
The prestige of the V8 model was further underscored by its feature in the July 2025 edition of Classic & Sports Car magazine. Its commanding presence is evident both on public roads and at track events, reflecting the car's unique blend of performance and style.
We are actively seeking similar examples.
