To accommodate this new arrangement, the bonnet sported a distinctive bulge that continued to the trailing edge and a lip adjacent to the boot replaced extractor louvers behind the rear window.
Purchased by our vendor in 1997, this Winchester Blue Series 3 was in regular use between here and his villa in Marbella
The Aston's history file contains receipts for works over the years, old MOTs and an owner's manual
