1987 Aston Martin V8 Efi

Finished in Salisbury Blue with Parchment hide piped Dark Blue and matching slate blue carpets.

Remarkably rare, this exceptionally original and much cherished Aston Martin V8, has undoubtedly benefitted from having had just 1 loving owner from new.

Unmodified and in superb condition, this much cherished AM V8 Efi (Electronic Fuel Injection) is 1 of only 42 UK specified production coupe’s manufactured and benefits from the continuous model development cycle, over the 20-year production lifespan of the AM V8.

Delivered new in January 1987 via West Midlands Aston Martin agents Chapman Spooner Ltd to its one and only owner, servicing and maintenance for over 15 years was entrusted to Chapman Spooner under the watchful eye of proprietor Andy Chapman, currently technical consultant to the Aston Martin Owners Club. After the closure of the Chapman Spooner business in 2003, servicing and maintenance has been carried out by the combined efforts of Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell and respected Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists, local to the owner.

Built and supplied with the sequential electronic fuel injection, developed by Marelli Weber for the Aston Martin V8 engine and shared, with Ferrari and Ford for their Cosworth range. So equipped, the Aston Martin V8 Efi engine delivers improved power and gives a higher torque output than its carburettor equipped predecessor. Characterised, as giving smoother power delivery, improved starting, general driveability and markedly better fuel economy, than the earlier series of carburettor equipped AM V8’s.

Now almost 40 years since manufacturer, with concours awards to its credit, chassis restored and body bare-metal repainted, serviced regularly and lovingly kept, there are few examples of the AM V8 of this quality, with complete service and maintenance histories, in existence. Becoming increasingly difficult to source and bring to market, examples of the AMV8, in such an excellent condition as this, are rarer and rarer.

Highly recommended and to concours standards, Aston Martin collectors, enthusiasts and weekend driving enthusiasts alike, are encouraged to enquire and view this car promptly and thus avoid the frustration of attempting to find another, with the high qualities of this well maintained and preserved, 1 owner example of the late model AM V8 Efi.

Supplied with an up-to-date manufacturer schedule service, fully prepared and with its complete and comprehensive leather-bound history file, containing maintenance invoices from new, continuous Mot certificates, detailed photographs of restorative works completed, original handbooks and original tool roll and vehicle jack.
