The Aston Martin V8 is widely regarded as the quintessential Gentleman’s British Muscle Car, and this particular example embodies that reputation.
According to copies of Aston Martin's factory build records, this elegant V8 was hand built in the UK by Aston Martin Lagonda Limited in 1978. The car was equipped with a left-hand-drive steering arrangement for the United States market and specified with the rare and desirable 5-speed ZF manual transmission. It was finished in Jubilee Silver over a Blue colored leather interior. Chassis 11911 was delivered to its first owner in New York in March 1980.
Following a documented restoration exceeding €170,000, this V8 is arguably the cleanest example in the market.
