Introduction
This is a stunning example of this classic and iconic Aston Martin - from its presentation condition to its extensive maintenance history and wonderful ownership record, there are few better opportunities to acquire the right Aston Martin V8.
One owner, a precision engineer, owned this car for over 40 years - nobody keeps a car for 40 years unless it is a good one!
Background
Announced in April 1972, the AM V8 is an extensively modified version of the DBS V8 which was announced in September 1969. Externally, the grill was entirely new, no longer sweeping across the complete front but now tailored between the head lamps reminiscent of the earlier six cylinder models such as the DB3S. The engine, was by then the well tried and tested all alloy V8 designed by Tadek Marek that had made it’s first appearance in January 1967 at the Racing Car Show in London and raced by Lola in their Type 70 Mk III GT.
The AM V8 series III was introduced in London, August 1973. The important mechanical difference was the replacement of the Bosch fuel injection system by four twin-choke down draught Weber carburettors, which produced a notably smother performance at low engine speeds with greater flexibility. To accommodate the carburettors, the bonnet bulge had to be deepened slightly and it was continued as a low bulge, to the trailing edge. Improvements were also made to water, oil and automatic transmission cooling and a new insulation material was used for the engine bulkhead and under the bonnet. There are detailed improvements inside the car, revised front seats; passenger’s door locked, electrically, from driver’s side; revised switches and heating controls: fuses below the glove compartment; larger ashtray; fuel tank redesigned to increase luggage space. The Autocar road test (September 6th 1973) of a car with automatic transmission, gave 0 to 60 m.p.h. in 6.2 seconds and a maximum 146 m.p.h.
Summary:
This is a stunning example of this classic and iconic Aston Martin - from its presentation condition to its extensive maintenance history and wonderful ownership record, there are few better opportunities to acquire the right Aston Martin V8.
Vehicle History
The value of a classic car – both in terms of financial stability and service to a future owner – is in its provenance or ownership and service history. This is a car whose care has been in the hands of engineering folk and it shows.
Its first owner is said to be engineering giants GKN (the car sits on GKN alloys) and the records show that this lovely car’s next keeper was a company purchase by Richard R Leader of Chertsey in Surrey. Whilst the comprehensive maintenance history begins with the car’s purchase from HWM as a used car, we can be confident of the first owner’s enthusiasm for well-maintained machinery.
Richard Leader established the company in 1951 as a subcontractor dealing in military aircraft parts. But as an engineer – and inventor – at heart, as the demand of the aircraft business reduced, he transferred his attention to the textile industry and identified a need for a device to check the shuttle on classic weaving looms and designed a hydraulic shock absorber using polyurethane diaphragm – the Leader Shuttle Control. After a tough start the product enjoyed a success that, although the original company wound up
And it is rewarding to recognize that the purchase of the car as a used car from Aston specialist HWM was by the boss of another engineering company Kesson Engineering of New Malden and the background of Ralph Kesson who cherished the car for over forty years. Following in the engineering background of his Dad, Ralph served an apprenticeship with DECCA in conjunction with a sandwich course at Brooklands College in Surrey.down, is maintained to this day.
His course focus was on precision engineering but alongside his training was a burgeoning love of sports cars – TR4 and TR4A were early loves but travelling to college, he regularly saw an Aston Martin DBS and set his heart of the model.
His apprenticeship over, he continued to work for DECCA and the various later owners of the company and the level of precision is reflected in working on what were the then analogue instruments on Tornados and Lynx helicopters. Meanwhile, his Dad had left employment with British Industrial Tooling and established Kesson Engineering and invited Ralph to join the company.
At this time, Ralph’s car ownership had gone beyond TR4’s and he had progressed to a 1965 Mercedes 230SL Pagoda that he exchanged at Paradise Garage for an Aston Martin DBS Vantage that he had set his heart on his journeys to College. Then is 1979, a friend told him that there was a DBS V8 for sale at Bell & Colville. He duly went to check the car out but disliked the Gold colour and the fitted wing mirrors on the car – the car was one of the fuel injection models and it was suggested that he went down to HWM to ask about the system.
He went down to HWM and there was a beautiful V8 Series III and, as they say, it was love at first sight! Ralph briefly had his own “stable” of Astons as he still owned the DBS and there is a lovely contemporary photo on file showing the two cars together.
As you may expect from a precision engineer, there are immaculately recorded notes and inevitable raft of parts invoices supplemented by occasional referral to specialist suppliers. When asked about those referrals to specialists, Ralph reflects that, as his business grew, it was more economical to concentrate on his business and employ a third party. He uses an example of a differential repair – there is a small but vulnerable shaft in the diff that, when worn, is vulnerable to sharp acceleration – he discovered that when he undertook the repair himself but 17 years later, when the same problem recurred, he used a specialist!
But this was not a “Sunday special” classic car for showing off at shows or down the pub, this V8 was in daily use – a real family car for outings and holidays with his wife and his three kids in the back seat. They all loved the car and all gave him some grief when it came time to say goodbye to her.
But at his heart, Ralph was and remains an enthusiast – regular visits to Le Mans (the 24 hours and later the Classic) – and involvement in other classic car events with like minded friends. Many of those were with the Aston Martin Owners Club (AMOC) – in those days, membership was by invitation and Ralph’s came from John Herring who was a well-known expert on the Aston Martin parts.
One of Ralph’s favourite memories was the Track Day at Brands Hatch when there was a clearly stated number of laps and a big gap had opened between him and the fast guys and when he came round Clearways, rather than follow the pack into the pitlane, he happily drove on followed by several others. He got a telling off but enjoyed his bonus lap.
It was at another classic car event – a Club Lotus meeting of all things – that he met the current owner of the V8 and formed a friendship that has lasted.
Realising that the car was not being used enough and with his eye on a Ferrari that there was not enough garage space for, Ralph finally relinquished stewardship to the current owner in November 2021 whose engineering speciality is hydraulics so he has maintained the car through the services of specialists like Trinity Engineering and Race Ltd of Charlwood in Surrey.
Ralph? Well, the enthusiasm for fast cars is satisfied by a Ferrari 488 Spider in Tour de France Blue!
