*Not Just Any DBS: An Example with a Distinct Configuration*
This is not simply an Aston Martin DBS. This is an early V8 example, often referred to as a Series II, configured with four Weber carburetors and a five-speed manual gearbox, a combination that defines how this car delivers its performance.

Let’s begin with the key details. This car presents in good and largely original condition, with minor improvements where appropriate. It has been maintained and reconditioned in England by recognized Aston Martin specialists and is documented by enthusiasts. Originally delivered in Silver Blue, it was later refinished in a black-over-black color scheme that suits the car well.

The early 1970s marked a transitional period for Aston Martin. Following the end of the David Brown era, the DBS V8 evolved into what became known as the Aston Martin V8. During this phase, a small number of cars retained DBS badging while incorporating the updated V8 concept.

Visually, these cars show subtle differences compared to later versions. The headlamp setup with a separate grille gives the front a distinct appearance, familiar to those who know the brand well. Under the bonnet, the story is equally interesting.

This particular car is configured with the fantastic four Weber carburetors. Combined with the five-speed manual gearbox, it creates a driving experience that is direct and mechanical in character. The response is immediate, the delivery strong, and the interaction between driver and car remains very present.

The exterior remains in a very neat condition with lovely paint. Details such as the bumpers and wheels are in great condition. In the interior, the leather seats are neat, just like the carpets. What adds to the appeal is the way this example has been treated. Maintained by specialists, documented over time, and kept close to its original configuration, it offers a clear view of how these cars were intended to be experienced.

On the road, the car feels solid and composed. The V8 provides ample power across the range, while the manual gearbox allows you to engage with it fully. It is a setup that suits the car and highlights its character. So, what are you looking at here? A fantastic Aston Martin with Weber carburetors, manual transmission, specialist maintenance, and a well-documented history.
