1977 Aston Martin V8
Constructeur : 1977 Aston Martin V8
Carte Grise : Titre de circulation français
N° Chassis : Châssis n° V8/11813/LCA
- Belle présentation et couleurs attractives
- Désirable série 3 à carburateurs
- Importants travaux de remise en route
Cette AM V8 fut construite fin 1977 et rapidement exportée aux États-Unis afin d’y être vendue. Selon la copie du registre Aston Martin, elle arborait alors un bleu Kentucky avec un intérieur bleu clair (DV. 6303) à passepoil bleu (DV. 6330) et moquette bleu scandinave. Une copie de la Car Record Card mentionne les équipements qui ont pour référence AT 35, ACA 417, 377 SKR ainsi que 437.
Selon nos informations, le premier propriétaire aurait acheté la voiture le 23 février 1979 alors qu’il résidait à Los Angeles. Il l’aurait ensuite revendue au second propriétaire en juin 1980 résidant à Beverly Hills.
Nous en perdons la trace puis la retrouvons dans une des plus importantes collections du monde au Moyen-Orient qui la présentera en vente aux enchères aux États-Unis en juillet 2022, c’est à cette occasion que le propriétaire actuel en fit l’acquisition. Amateur éclairé, il entreprit alors une remise en route complète de la voiture incluant entre autres remplacement de l’allumage complet, révision du système de freinage avec maître-cylindre et servo freins neufs, révision des carburateurs, révision du refroidissement complet, réfection de la direction assistée et crémaillère, réfection du circuit d’huile, vidange et changement de la crépine de la boite de vitesse automatique, changement de 4 amortisseurs et 4 pneus. En tout, environ 16,000€ ont été dépensés en pièces et 200h de travaux ont été effectués dans le garage du propriétaire de la voiture.
La voiture semblant être toujours dans sa combinaison d’origine, présente aujourd’hui un superbe état autant cosmétique que mécanique. Cette AM V8 étant un modèle 78 présente un intérêt supplémentaire du fait qu’elle possède un moteur revu dit « stage 1 » avec des arbres à cames et un échappement revus, parant les normes de pollution qui avaient détérioré les performances en 1976, ce qui en fait une voiture particulièrement agréable à utiliser.

1977 Aston Martin V8
This AM V8 was built at the end of 1977 and quickly exported to the United States to be sold there. According to a copy of the Aston Martin register, it was then finished in Kentucky Blue with a light blue interior (DV. 6303) featuring blue piping (DV. 6330) and Scandinavian blue carpet. A copy of the Car Record Card lists the equipment with reference numbers AT 35, ACA 417, 377 SKR and 437.
According to our information, the first owner lived in Los Angeles and purchased it on the 23rd of February 1979; he subsequently sold it to the second owner in June 1980, who lived in Beverly Hills. We then lost track of its whereabouts before rediscovering it in one of the world’s largest collections in the Middle East, from where it was offered for auction in the United States in July 2022; it was then that the current owner acquired it. As a discerning collector of classic cars, he then embarked on a complete restoration of the car; it included (among other things) the replacement of the entire ignition system, the overhaul of the braking system with a new master cylinder and brake booster, the restoration of the carburettors, the restoration of the entire cooling system, the refurbishment of the power steering and rack, replacement of the oil system, an oil change and replacement of the automatic gearbox strainer, as well as the replacement of 4 shock absorbers and 4 tyres. In total, approximately €16,000 was spent on parts and 200 hours of work were carried out in the car owner’s garage.
The car which seems to be in its original color combination, is now in superb condition, both aesthetically and mechanically. As this AM V8 is a 1978 model, it has the added appeal because it has a revised “stage 1” engine with revised camshafts and an exhaust system, which complies with the emissions standards that had reduced its performance in 1976 and makes it a particularly enjoyable car to drive.
