1977 Aston Martin V8 Series III 5-Speed

This 1977 Aston Martin V8 Series III spent time in the Netherlands and was featured on BaT in July 2016 before it was imported to Florida under previous ownership. It underwent a refurbishment by Vantage Motor Works of North Miami, Florida, that was completed in April 2021 and was purchased by the current owner on BaT in April 2022. The car is finished in blue over matching leather upholstery, and power comes from a 5.3-liter V8 paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a sunroof, 15″ alloy wheels, air conditioning, power windows, and a Blaupunkt cassette radio. This V8 S3 is offered on dealer consignment in Dallas, Texas, with manufacturer’s literature, a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, refurbishment receipts, and a clean Florida title.

The car was repainted in its factory Imperial Blue by Vantage Motor Works in September 2020 following window and door seal replacement. Equipment includes chrome bumpers with overriders, a front spoiler, a hood scoop, driving lights, fender vents, a sunroof, a retractable antenna, and dual exhaust outlets. A collection of Triplex glass etchings can be seen in the gallery.

The 15″ GKN alloy wheels are mounted with 225/70 Vredestein Comtrac tires. A matching spare wheel with an Avon radial tire is mounted under the trunk floor. The steering rack was rebuilt and the power-steering hoses were replaced in April 2021. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with inboard rear units.
