The Aston Martin V8 Series III represents one of the most distinctive expressions of Aston Martin’s celebrated V8 Grand Tourer. During the 1970s, the V8 established itself as the flagship of the marque, combining muscular styling, impressive performance and traditional British craftsmanship. With its long bonnet, imposing proportions and powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine, the model embodied the essence of the classic British luxury sports saloon.

Under the bonnet lies Aston Martin’s formidable 5.3-litre V8 engine, producing 305 bhp and delivering the effortless performance for which these cars are renowned. Paired with an automatic transmission, the V8 offers a relaxed yet powerful driving experience, making it an accomplished Grand Tourer equally suited to long-distance journeys.

This particular Aston Martin V8 Series III was registered in July 1978 and carries chassis number V8/11787/LCAS. It is finished in Dark Blue with a Tan interior, an elegant colour combination that complements the imposing proportions and understated character of this British luxury saloon. The car currently carries German registration and has covered 79,755 kilometres.

The Aston Martin was originally delivered in Germany. The present owner subsequently obtained a copy of the original invoice from the son of the first owner, providing an interesting link to the car’s early history. The original factory colour was Tudor Green, although the car was repainted in Dark Blue at some point in its past.
