Description

Manufactured and delivered directly by Aston Martin in June 1970, to Hampshire resident and businessman Robert Macdonald-Hall, This delightfully preserved and sensitively restored DBS V8 left the Newport Pagnell factory when new, equipped with manual 5 speed transmission and refrigerated air conditioning.

Finished in its original colour combination Platinum White with Mid blue hides, the car was driven to 55,000 miles before being laid up and professionally stored for over 20 years, before being sensitively restored for the 3rd and last enthusiast owner.

An early car, delivered just 2 months into production, Chassis 10021/RC would undoubtedly have caused quite a sensation on the open roads of Hampshire, being in period, one of the fastest production cars in the world. With 0-60 mph obtainable in 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 160 mph, the DBS V8 knew few peers.

Restorative works carried out in between 2016 and 2019, included chassis and body works, a bare metal repaint and bright work rechromed. A complete engine and fuel system rebuild, suspension and brake rebuilds, electrical and cooling systems overhauled, original interior hides reconditioned and new Wilton carpeting fitted. All carried out by an ex Aston Martin professional restorer, retaining originality wherever possible.

This desirably specified example of the handsome DBS V8 has been fully inspected and prepared in our workshops and is offered with a photo file of the works carried out, factory build sheet, BMHIT certificate, original jack and tool roll.

Available for viewing and demonstration at our Hertfordshire showrooms now.
