Recent major restoration by Aston Engineering

Matching numbers and presented in original Pacific Blue

Aston Engineering handling kit and telescopic-damper conversion

Fully retrimmed interior in Autocalf Dark Tan leather

With its combination of a powerful, fuel-injected V8 engine and sharp styling, the Aston Martin DBS is rightly renowned as being one of the finest GT cars of its era, and this particular car is presented in exceptional condition throughout. Supplied new by HR Owen on 14 October 1971, it was specified with the three-speed automatic transmission, which is perfectly suited to both the torque-rich 5.3-litre engine and the car’s ‘grand touring’ nature. In recent years, the DBS has benefitted from a full restoration by renowned marque specialist Aston Engineering. The process is thoroughly documented in the car’s history file and included extensive work on the body ahead of a bare-metal respray in its original colour of Pacific Blue. The front and rear suspension was also fully rebuilt, and Aston Engineering fitted its handling-kit upgrade as well as a rear telescopic-damper conversion. The braking system and power steering were overhauled, the differential was rebuilt, and a complete stainless-steel exhaust system was installed. The finishing touch was a full interior retrim in Autocalf Dark Tan leather with Wilton Sandstorm carpet, and there’s a nice period touch in the shape of a Radiomobile 8-Track player. Beautifully finished throughout, and featuring well-chosen upgrades that further enhance the driving experience, this matching-numbers Aston Martin DBS is a superb example of this muscular British classic.
