Project for sale. 1971 Aston Martin DBS V8. FI. For Sale
• Over 1000 hours of high quality restoration work already invested.
• Chassis and metalwork complete.
• Desirable four headlight model and Rare left-drive version.
• 1 of only 3 DBS V8's ever manufactured in "Cricket White".
• Opportunity to own one of the few fully (possibly the only) restored DBS V8 on the market.
The DBS was intended to have a more “modern” look than the previous series of Aston models (the DB4 through DB6), and it incorporated a fastback style rear end and squared off front grille, atypical of Astons at the time, but very much then in vogue in automotive design circles of the late sixties. Trademark Aston design features, such as a bonnet scoop, knock off wire wheels, and side air vents with stainless steel brightwork were however retained. The DBS was the last Aston Martin to be built under David Brown’s control.
In September 1969, the DBS was made available with a 5340cc V8 engine, this variant being known as the DBS V8. At the time, it was the fastest four-seater production car in the world. The new model was fitted with light alloy wheels (as opposed to wire wheels on the DBS) and ventilated brake discs. Automatic transmission was offered as an alternative to the ZF 5 speed manual gearbox.
This car (DBSV8/ 10345/ LCA) was delivered to us as a complete and running car. The current owner is a true enthusiast and asked us to perform a complete nut and bolt restoration. He had a vision to make this car the best DBS V8 in the world. As a result the car has already had 1000 hours of work carried to the car. Following the disassembly by our experts the car has undergone chassis and metalwork of the highest standard along with the completion of various other components. The car is now awaiting someone to take over the project and continue. All the parts have been stored and can be easily transported should you wish to complete the restoration elsewhere. Alternatively, the car can be continued by ourselves. Please contact Paul on the details below to discuss budgets and timeframes for this potential restoration.
Of the 402 originally made, just 43 DBS V8s were registered in the UK last year. Furthermore, the majority of DBS V8s produced were right-hand drives, making this a rare and exciting prospect. Only 3 DBS V8's were ever manufactured in "Cricket White". Of the three, only one was ordered with bottle green leather trim, which offers a stunning contrast. If continued at the current level of restoration this car will be worth in excess of £250, 000 and will be one of the best examples available.
