1973 Aston Martin V8 Series 2 Sports Saloon Registration no. 3786 VC Chassis no. V8/10678/RCA Engine no. V540/534• Present family ownership since 1990 • Automatic transmission • 33,625 miles recorded • £23,000 spent in the last couple of years • Requires detail finishing FootnotesThe lady vendor's late husband acquired this Series 2 V8 on 28th April 1990. It has not really been used since his passing in 2007 and has a low recorded mileage of 33,625. The car has participated in numerous motoring events, most notably the 1999 Targa Tasmania Rally, where it came 1st in class (details and photographs of this event and others are available if required). The AMOC Register lists two outings at the Goodwood Sprint in 1999. Over the years this car has undergone numerous repairs and mechanical upgrades, was looked after for a number of years by Rikki Cann. It has had the chassis overhauled, cutting out all rust from sills, radius arm mounting points renewed, etc. The engine was rebuilt; the gearbox had a quick shift fitted; the brakes were updated; and the brake master cylinder replaced. The car has also had the original upholstery replaced with that of a later Aston Martin V8. The upholstery is cream leather, piped with blue. In 2021 the car had a bare metal re-spray in Salisbury Blue, the original colour. Davron have carried out work on the car between 2018 to 2022, however nly the invoices available are for the most recent work as the history file has unfortunately been misplaced. The lights, windscreen wipers, passenger-side window and various other items of door furniture (removed for the re-spray) have not been replaced. The car is running and in a (mechanically) driveable state but the aforementioned components need re-attaching before it can be legally taken on the road. Nevertheless, the car is mechanically and cosmetically in very good condition, having had £23,000 spent on achieving just that in the last couple of years.
