Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1972 Aston Martin DBS V8 is a right-hand drive, automatic example, originally Raven Black but now Balmoral Green. It features a retro-fitted Weber carburation system and has undergone recent mechanical recommissioning, though some cosmetic imperfections and minor fettling are needed.
Condition
6
The car presents very well overall, with straight bodywork and shiny Balmoral Green paint. However, there are notable imperfections such as scratching on the driver's door, bubbling at the base of the 'A' pillars, and some blistering at the base of the 'C' pillars. The chrome is mostly good but has some scratches and missing plating. Interior is very good with light grey leather, but there are a few creases and a scratch on the headrest. Mechanically, the car is solid with recent recommissioning work, but the boot is fiddly and doesn't stay open.

Prior to that it had been with the immediately preceding owner for 17 years, during which time it was maintained by Tony Christie, a well-respected engineer and Aston enthusiast.
An ongoing programme of steady improvement at that time included a re-spr...
