Lot details Registration No: XRU248K Chassis No: DBSV810336RC Mot Expiry: June 2005
The now world famous and, today, Ford Motor Company owned Aston Martin only came about because of founder Lionel Martin winning his class in his souped-up Singer Ten at a 1913 Aston Clinton hill climb, a stretch of public road in rural Buckinghamshire. In partnership with Robert Bamford, Bamford and Martin sold Singers and Calthorpes in Fulham and South Kensington, their first Aston Martin for sale in 1921.
Being auctioned here is a 1971-made V8-engined DBS coupe, one of only 402 produced by postwar Aston Martin at their Newport Pagnell works 1969-1972, this one with automatic transmission. The right-hand drive two-door is finished in red with four-seater interior in brown leather.
The 69,045 mileage displayed when entered is believed by the vendor to be the genuine total for the GT from new and the MOT certificate on file will be valid until August. Although certainly in need of some restoration as well as some TLC and new carpets, the Aston is claimed to be complete and the guide price has been attractively set. This is a V8 Aston after all and, as such, offers much motor car for your money.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
