- THE ASTON MARTIN DBS V8
Bigger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, whose 4.0-liter straight six engine it shared, the heavier DBS disappointed some by virtue of its slightly reduced performance, but there were no complaints when the V8 arrived in 1969. With an estimated 345bhp available from its 5,340cc, fuel-injected, four-cam motor, the DBS V8 could reach 100mph in under 14 seconds, running on to a top speed of 160mph - a staggering performance in those days and one which fully justified the claim that it was the fastest production car in the world. Even in automatic transmission form the V8 could reach 100mph in around 15 seconds and 145mph flat-out.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED The production DBS V8 chassis number sequence commenced with '10001', making this the 361st example of this landmark model built. According to the copies of factory records on file, this V8 was ordered new through Grand Touring Automobiles of Toronto, Ontario. Finished in the exceedingly rare color of Cromwellian Buff over Olive leather, 10361 was handsomely optioned with air conditioning, automatic transmission, dual head rests, aerial and speakers, Waso steering lock, and Fiam horns. Completed in on New Year's Eve of 1971 and shipped a week later on January 6th, 1972 the first owner and any early history on the car is not recorded.
At some point, likely more than 25 years ago, the car was repainted dark green and retrimmed in black leather. Noted as having been in the U.S. in 1995 according to records from the Aston Martin Owners Club, the present owner acquired it from enthusiast Fred Luteraan of Wedowee, Alabama in May of 2008 and has maintained the car on static display since. Given its long term storage without use, it will require some recommissioning prior to active road use.
Please note, the title will be in transit.
