AI Listing Summary
This 1973 Aston Martin V8 Series 3, finished in Ascot Grey Metallic with a blue leather interior, presents as a 'good one' after a recent £70,000+ expenditure with Aston Martin Works. Despite minor cosmetic blemishes like paint chips and cracked rubber, the car boasts a recent interior retrim and excellent mechanicals, making it a strong contender for collectors.

The car is described as a 'good one' and has undergone significant restoration and recent work by Aston Martin Works, totaling over £70,000. The exterior paint retains impressive shine, and the bodywork is free of major dents. The interior has been recently retrimmed at a cost of nearly £17,000 and is in very good condition. Mechanically, the engine bay is clean and tidy, and the car starts, runs, and behaves as expected. However, there are a few minor cosmetic flaws mentioned, such as a couple of paint chips, a tiny dink on the rear wing, chips on the front valance and boot lid, light crazing on the wheels, and cracked rubber around the rear quarter-lights. Additionally, the bonnet release lever has snapped off, and there is a slight warp to the headlining fabric and some lifting blue carpeting on the parcel shelf. These minor imperfections prevent a higher rating but the overall condition is very strong.

The Series 3 cars started with the chassis number V8/11002/RCA, so this car’s number, V8/11043/RCA, suggests that it was the 41st of this series built.
We say ‘suggests’ because Aston Martin’s record-keeping back in the day was sometimes a little less than orthodox or forensically accurate.
Either way, this car left Newport Pagnell finished in Stardust Ascot Grey Metallic with blue leather and black carpets.
It was claimed in a previous auction that before the first owner took delivery of the V8, Aston Martin featured this very car on its 1973 London Motor Show stand at Earls Court.
Records suggest the first owner of our car kept it for a full 26 years right up until October 1999.
A number of other owners followed with the car hitting the ...
