  • Aston Martin DBS V8
  • Sold for restoration

First registered new in 1971, this example was inherited by the vendor from his father in 2003. The car has been in dry storage since 1992, and was recently discovered by Bonhams specialists. The DBS V8 is offered for complete restoration. There is various correspondence on file from the previous keeper of Northwood, Middlesex. This includes servicing and repairs carried out by Aston Martin Works throughout the late 1970s. Various old MOTs are also on file, including from 1976, 1977, 1991 and 1992 – when then car was last on the road. A rewarding and rare project opportunity.
