Seller's comments about 1972' Aston Martin Firebird
This marvellous Aston Martin DBS V8 was sold new in the United Kingdom, hence the right-hand drive steering position. In august 2009 the automobile was registered in the Netherlands, and since 2019 the car is being cherished by the second Dutch owner. From May 1972 until July 1973 a total of 288 DBS V8 Series 2 cars were built, this car is the second Series 2 car built and it features the DBS V8 badge as it was fitted to the first 17 Series 2 cars built.
This gorgeous “black on black” DBS V8 shows all the original details on the exterior and the interior, and the car is in a very good and wonderful condition. Have a close look at the photos and visit us to see and experience this beauty in real life. The car can be exported to and road registered in every country around the globe. This rare and very desirable Aston Martin DBS V8 is fully up to date, and ready to be enjoyed by a proud new owner!With its introduction in 1972 the Aston Martin DBS V8 was the world’s fastest production sports car boasting a top speed of 256 km/ h (160 mph) and an acceleration from 0 – 100 mph (160 km/ h) in under 14 seconds! In 1972 Aston Martin was purchased by Company Developments making the DBS V8 series 2 the last “David Brown” Aston Martin. Originally this Aston Martin was delivered with the problematic Aston Martin/ Bosch petrol injection system. This system was removed, and the car was upgraded with the superior 4 Weber carburettor setup as seen on the Series 3 cars. The 310 bhp 5340 cc Aston Martin V8 engine is a legendary unit which was entirely designed and built in the UK. The engine block and cylinder heads are cast from aluminium, and it features four chain driven overhead camshafts. Every engine was hand built by an individual Aston Martin technician. The badge on this V8 proudly displays the name of Allen Shackell who was responsible for the build of this fine unit. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manually operated gearbox which adds greatly to the driving pleasure in combination with the powerful V8 engine.
