Introduction
Rarely does a car with such a comprehensive history come to market.
The current owner is just the second keeper of this lovely car - he has continued the exemplary service record for the car that started with the original keeper when the supplying dealer, HWM maintained the car for many years.
That service and maintenance of the car has continued with extensive body restoration and professional engine and gearbox work through Aston specialists Davron.
A low recorded mileage has not, as is so often the case, been reflected in missed services or substitution with oil and filter changes - this car has a perfect service history which is carried right up to the point at which Byron International have been tasked with finding a new owner for this exceptional car.
You will not find a match for this car - a collector's masterpiece.
Background
Background:
The first Aston Martin DBS V8 rolled off the Newport Pagnell production line on 19th September 1969. For Tadek Marek it was the public debut for his new engine and the car received a rapturous welcome from the public.
The engine used the same light aluminium alloy construction as the old straight six and used a similar design for the valve gear employing two chain driven overhead camshafts per cylinder bank and two valves per cylinder. The 8 wet liner cylinders were in a V formation set at 90 degrees with fuel and air were supplied via a Bosch mechanical fuel injection system with the injector pump in the middle of the cylinder vee and eight separate throttle butterflies mounted outboard of each induction port. The engine had five main bearings and the cooling system was with thermostat, water pump and viscous-coupling fan.
Putting this newly developed engine into the body that had been created for it gave Aston Martin a car that carried four people in luxury, weighed well over one and a half tons, yet could accelerate from 0 – 60 mph in less than 6 seconds and had a top speed of 160 mph. Every aspect of the car needed superlatives for its description. With that weight and speed, the Girling brakes had to produce substantial stopping power – 1 ¼ inches thick front and rear, they were ventilated and had two independent hydraulic circuits to provide pressure to front and rear and the rear brakes had separate callipers for the handbrake. Unusually, Aston Martin made standard the fitment of specially made 15 inch alloy wheels with 7 inch rims.
Testing the car, a contemporary road test by Autocar noted the flexibility of the new V8 engine at the bottom end of its wide range. They noted that the torque curve was surprisingly flat noting that in fifth gear, the 20 mile per hour increments from 30 mph to 110 mph each took around 4 seconds less than the straight six it had tested the year before. They also noted that the clutch, having to cope with all the extra torque, was heavier than the six cylinder – they measured that it needed 50 pounds of force to depress the pedal. Handling and grip had been improved on the DBS with the de Dion rear axle in the DBSV8.
Summary:
As we have said in the vehicle history – this is a unique opportunity for any Aston Martin enthusiast. A stunningly low mileage car, bearing its original registration number: WWD4, with just two owners from new – but not a car where the low mileage has been seen by either of its owners as a reason to miss a service.
And a car that under the stewardship of the current owner has been gently brought to an exceptional standard of presentation that any buyer will be proud of.
We don’t expect her to be here for long!
Vehicle History
This is a car with an extraordinary and recorded history – as a DBS V8 Manual, she is quite rare – with just two owners from new and with an immaculately recorded service history that verifies its exceptionally low mileage, we think she is certainly exceptional and probably unique. Yet another superlative is that she wears the same registration WWD4 that she did when new.
That history starts with a copy of the original build sheet that notes its delivery to its first owner, a Mr Delagardo of Berkshire via Aston Martin dealers, HW Motors in January 1971. Mr Delgardo started his ownership with regular servicing by the supplying dealer for the first 16 years and whilst he moved around into central London and elsewhere, the car was always regularly maintained. In 1988 and then for the next 11 years of his ownership, maintenance was transferred to the south coast and Everest Garage of Bognor took over responsibility for the car’s servicing.
Mr Delgardo was a man with great connections and our presentation includes a photograph of the original owner of this lovely car alongside Raine, Countess Spencer, step mother of Diana Princess of Wales.
It was in 1999 that Mr Delagardo relinquished ownership of his beloved Aston and the current owner purchased the car and it is worthwhile studying the pattern of consistent improvement and restoration that the car has undergone during his stewardship. In the care of well-known Aston Martin specialists, Davron not only has the car had a regular pattern on service – but along the way, the bodywork has been restored, the body bare metal resprayed, the interior refurbished and, as recently as 2018, the engine had a comprehensive rebuild.
In between those major events you can see from the history that whenever and item, however minor, needed fettling or replacing – it has been done. The current owner is justly proud of how the car presents today – car, with not just a low mileage to shout about, but one that has been a focus of its owner’s constant care and attention
