Vehicle Description
-Cornish Gold (Light Green Metallic) with Black leather, Black
Wilton Wool carpeting, 5.3 Liter V8 engine, Rare original 5-Speed
manual, 35,000 miles from new, Matching Numbers, Previous ownership
since 1981, AMOC member owned.
Completed at the Newport Pagnell works in November of 1974, this V8
Coupe spent the first six years of its life with its first owner in
Illinois. It was subsequently purchased by its second and most
recent owner in 1981 and relocated to Pennsylvania. It has remained
it this AMOC member-collector ownership since.
In early 2021, this V8 was purchased by Autosport Designs from its
long term owner. Sequentially and upon arrival it was treated to a
$30,000 plus service and maintenance, mainly due to lack of use
during recent years. Throughly serviced and sorted, it was sold to
a good client and friend of Autosport Designs. Having enjoyed 3,000
trouble free, enjoyable miles, this V8 has been a regular at Cars
and Coffee events in the Maryland area. Due to a change in the
clients collection and the fact there is still another sentimental
Aston within the collection, this superb V8 has come back to
market. Although we try, we just keep them all.
This V8 has been run through the shop for good measure and to make
certain the V8 is turn key and ready for its next new
caretaker.
On a recent road test, this V8 performs excellent with ample
horsepower and torque and shifts well with its rare original ZF
5-speed manual gearbox.
It is complete with its original owner's manual, jack, tools and
large service history file.
This 5-speed V8 Coupe is a rare find in this superb condition and
with excellent provenance. It is superb in every way and indeed
ready for immediate use and enjoyment!
