details above Aston Martin V8. Silver with blue hide. Engine rebuild to the original 5. 3 litre vs specification 5000 miles ago by Sigma Engineering Gillingham Dorset. Full service and rolling road tune up by Sigma in August 2023. I can’t think of any components that have been missed out in the rebuild and restoration over the 22 years that I have had the car. It has been driven at least twice a month in fine weather only since I have had it. Gear box rebuilt as the torqueflight 3 speed auto box. Steering rack, discs brakes servos, leather , paint work all Re built to AMV8 fast road specifications. Suspension springs shock absorbers all replaced. Good stereo and CD player with autoeject. Interior not altered. Paint work and interior are excellent. New carpets fitted this year to match the leather in the original carpet colour from 1978. It has a vantage style front and rear end in the style of series 3. The engine and geR box are all standard AMV8 spec. Oil pressure is perfect through the Rev changes. Recently tuned inc the 4 Webber carburettors by Sigma engineering and it drives very well. I retired 5 years ago and have too many cars so need to downsize my cars now and make savings for retirement. Kept in a heated garage. throughout.
How much would you like to sell it for? £85000I bought it 25 years ago and have graduallly refurbished it extensively kept it garaged for fine weather only. The biggest job was doing the engine rebuild to original spec 5000 miles ago. Video demo - details above
