This rare V8 is presented in exceptional condition having had over £50, 000 of cosmetic work carried out in 2020. The Aston Martin was stripped down and treated to a full re-paint and the majority of brightwork was re-chromed including window trims. Various new badges were fitted, new rear lamp units and wheels were untouched having been re0-furbished in 2018/ 2019. The interior was completley re-trimmed in top quality leather, new wool carpets made and the headlining replaced. Interior brightwork was re-chromed, and a wood rim steering wheel fitted. As result of the work which has been all superbly documented with a photographic record, the body and paintwork are pristine, chrome work is stunning, the interior is first class, and the car exterior is further enhanced by the Front Vantage Air Damn fitted which was an Aston Martin upgrade available after registration.
Mechanically WYS 356S is exceptional and has arrived with a highly detailed engine bay, suspension and underside. Uprated radiator fans are in place to assist with cooling and the highly polished and detailed stainless steel exhaust system is in excellent condition. The Aston Martin has recently been treated to a new water pump and full service. The V8 handles superbly, the 70000 miles from new engine is super quick, responsive and holds correct oil pressure and the automatic transmission is super smooth. The car is fabulous on the road, a wonderful car for long distance touring and comfortable, relaxed cruising in luxury. WYS 356S is a highly desirable model, an ideal collectors piece that comes with true quality in every respect, superb paperwork and provenance, and further is a first class example to drive, enjoy and use for long distance touring.
