Seller's comments about 1978' Aston Martin V8

An immaculately presented, home-market Series 3 V8, finished in glorious Jubilee Silver with a fabulous cabin in deep red leather.Offered here is a 1978 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 automatic supplied new in the UK through County Motor Garages of Johnstone to a Mr D. Smith of Wishaw, North Lanarkshire. First registered in September 1978 and currently displaying just under 79, 000 miles, this handsome V8 presents in showroom condition, having been subject to a recent professional, glass-out respray, back to it’s original colour of Jubilee Silver (a lovely silver with a hint of green).The interior has also benefitted from some professional attention and the overall result is truly spectacular.It’s supported by a history file including the original service book stamped up to 1986, a workshop manual, original warranty, the AM certificate of ownership and a wealth of old invoices and MOTs from over the years. It’s current V5C registration document also accompanies the car ready for export or transfer and the recent overhaul is supported by stage-by-stage photographic evidence along with the relevant invoices.In summary, this is a superb opportunity to take possession of a ‘70s British muscle car which presents beautifully, is described as absolutely on-the-button and performing well. The V8 creates a fabulous soundtrack whilst the automatic transmission seamlessly shifts up through the box, ample performance for British country roads, with purposeful yet comfortable road holding. These old V8s attract just the right attention, especially in well considered colour options like this and, undoubtedly, this is a classic car that will continue to turn heads for many more years to come.
