Condition
5
The car's description indicates that it has been on static display since its purchase by the current owner and will require recommissioning. While it has a history of restoration work and maintenance, the need for recommissioning suggests that it is not in pristine or near-perfect condition. Furthermore, the car is being offered without reserve, which may indicate that the seller is motivated to sell it quickly, possibly due to its condition.

Description
• Offered without reserve • Rare interim model •
One of the last 50 cars built The Martin DBS first appeared with the 4.0-litre 'six' of the concurrently produced DB6.
This well proven engine was available in standard tune, producing 282bhp, or, as a no-cost option, to 325bhp Vantage specification.
Larger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the DBS was, inevitably, heavier, though the Vantage's top speed of 140mph and a standing quarter-mile time of 16.3 seconds were highly respectable figures nonetheless.
A total of 787 cars had been completed prior to the arrival of the DBS V8.
One of the last 50 DBS models completed, '5812' comes with a copy guarantee form showing that it is an original Vantage and, as a late car, has the 'dogleg' ZF five-speed gearbox.
Originally finished in Deep Carriage Green, the Aston was first registered as 'JTB 222K' and sold new to one J V R Bullough, Esq of Lancashire.
In 1986, at 36,839 miles, HWM Ltd sold the DBS to a Mr D Muecke.
