On 9th September 2005, the car changed ownership, to go to its penultimate owner in Lincolnshire. It is this owner that we have to thank for the meticulous record of this car’s history, but more so, his equally meticulous and thorough approach to the comprehensive rebuild and restoration of what is probably the finest DBSV8 to come to the market in recent years.
That rebuild takes shape in the history file with invoices together with a thorough photographic record and then, as part of the owner’s aim of a true restoration, the start of his journey to regain the original registration number for the car is marked by a note of acknowledgement, dated 30th January 2006, from Neil Murray from the AMOC Archive. In his note, Mr Murray notes that he has forwarded the application for the transfer together with the relevant documentation to the DVLA together with the recommendation of the AMOC that such a transfer should take place. Acceptance of the reversion to the old number came through in March of 2006.
The ‘four headlight’ DBS has become highly valued and evocative of the seventies. With its finely researched history and a restoration carried out by specialists to the very highest of standards, this car sets a new bench mark for this model.
It is, without doubt, the finest possible example of this modern Aston Martin classic and would make a wonderful acquisition for an enthusiast or a collector.
