The production DBS V8 chassis number sequence commenced with '10001', making this the 204th example of this landmark model built. According the copies of factory records on file, this V8 was ordered new in Canada through Grand Touring Automobiles for Applewood Motors Ltd in Ontario. Finished in the (somewhat ironically named for an Aston) Yeoman Red over Black leather, 10204 was handsomely optioned with Coolaire air conditioning, automatic transmission, dual head rests, Waso steering lock, and Fiam horns. Although conflicting dates are presented in the factory materials, it appears the car was finished in the winter of 1972.
Sparse records leave the early history of this DBS V8 as a bit of a mystery, but in June of 2001 it was acquired by Vincent Burgos Jr in the Bay Area. At some point in its history, it appears to have been converted from carburetion to fuel injection. Retained by Mr. Burgos until 2010, the present owner acquired in June of that year and has maintained the car on static display since. Appearing to be in good, largely original condition, it will require some recommissioning prior to active road use.
