Buyer’s notes
About the Aston Martin V8 (Series II)
The Series 2 V8 is the car that dropped the DBS name. Built from 1972 to 1973, it introduced the twin headlamps and mesh grille that Aston Martin’s V8 kept until 1989, and used Bosch fuel injection. Only 288 were made, and the first 34 still wore leftover DBS V8 badges.
What moves the price
- Rarity: one of the shortest runs of the V8 line.
- Originality: the fuel system and gearbox as built.
- Structure and history: the steel under the aluminium body, and a record of specialist care.
Before you buy, check
- Bubbling paint on the aluminium panels and their edges, a sign of corrosion beneath.
- The steel sills and the box sections beside them, checked from underneath.
- Engine and chassis numbers against the records, with an inspection by an Aston Martin specialist.
