1978 ASTON MARTIN V8 - RARE 5 SPEED MANUAL

Finished in its original colours of Jubilee Silver with Burgundy hides and equipped from new with optional 5-speed manual transmission, it is a pleasure to welcome back to the showroom this attractive V8.

Built and delivered when new to Aston Martin agents County Motor Garage in Scotland, in November 1978. This rare manual transmission example of the revised AM V8, is one of the very first built, after the ‘Oscar India’ model had been introduced, having been delivered just 1 month after the OI model’s debut.

First shown in October 1978 at the Birmingham International motor show, the revised AMV8, commonly referred to as the Oscar India model, included revisions such as styling changes to the body shape, with reprofiled rear wings and boot lid incorporating a discreet lip spoiler, working in harmony with a new and more aerodynamic bonnet profile, high speed stability was dramatically improved. The interior also received a substantial face-lift, with the introduction of a polished burr walnut dashboard fascia and door finishers, improved seats and numerous luxury accented enhancements.

The AMV8 OI, we are delighted to offer, has benefitted from substantial restorative works, including to the chassis, body and paintwork, as well as a total engine rebuild and fitment of a new balanced clutch in 2017, since when the car has covered just 1,500 miles.

Supplied serviced and fully prepared, inclusive of 12 months warranty, the car is accompanied with a comprehensive history file, including multiple parts and maintenance invoices, a factory build record and previous MoT certificates, confirming the low mileage of just 48,000 miles covered from new.

A delight to drive, the car is available for viewing and inspection now, at our Hertfordshire showrooms.
