Aston Martin V8 Series 3 1977
General description :
1977 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 Sports SaloonThis elegant V8 Volante was hand built at Aston Martin's Newport Pagnell plant during the fall of 1976 and was factory equipped with a left-hand-drive steering arrangement and 3-speed automatic transmission. It was distributed through Aston Martin Lagonda, Inc to Hollywood Sports Cars, Inc in Hollywood, California. Today this Aston Martin features the smaller and tightly-wrapped chrome bumpers and grill-mounted driving lights. It starts right up and drives well but is ready for servicing and minor cosmetics at this time. It requires paintwork as there are plenty of flaws due to age. A solid, original, and honest example overall with a good straight body. Highly usable and presentable interior with plenty of patina. This highly sought-after AM V8 has a lot of potential and represents a fantastic value in the classic Aston Martin market. CHASSIS NO. V8/11484/LCAENGINE NO.

About Aston Martin
Aston Martin, one of Britain's best known sports car manufacturer, was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. During its chequered financial history the company has had numerous owners taking over the company, Sir David Brown just to mention one.
Between the wars Bertelli was both technical director and designer of all new Aston Martins, thus known as "Bertelli cars". These included the 1½-litre "T-type", "International", "Le Mans", "MKII" its racing version, the "Ulster", and the 2-litre 15/98 and its race going derivative, the "Speed Model".
During the war years the company produced aircraft components.
In 1947, Aston was purchased and thus saved by Sir David Brown. The company also acquired Lagonda the same year for its 2.6-litre W. O. Bentley-designed engine. Both companies shared resources and workshops creating the iconic "DB" series of cars. In 1950, they presented the DB2, followed by the DB2/4 in 1953, the DB2/4 MkII in 1955, the DB Mark III in 1957.
DB4 with its strong Italian flavor and construction was introduced in 1958. The lightweight superleggera (tube-frame) body was designed by Carrozzeria Touring in Milan. Although the design and construction techniques were Italian, the DB4 was the first Aston to be built at the company's Newport Pagnell works in Buckinghamshire, England. The six-cylinder engines of these cars from 1954 up to 1965 were designed by Tadek Marek. Despite initial problems with cracking engine blocks DB4 was a success that really established the make together with its later derivates DB5, of James Bond Goldfinger fame, and more civilized DB6 Grand Tourer.
With the all new model DBS in the late 60's the company went to eight cylinder configuration when it was modified to Aston Martin v8 – a sort of Gentleman's muscle car.
