STORY
The Aston Martin V8 carried Tadek Marek's all-aluminium 5.3-litre V8, which first appeared in 1969 in the DBS V8. After the six-cylinder DBS ended, the car was restyled and sold simply as the Aston Martin V8, as a saloon and as the Volante convertible. Series 4 was built from 1978 to 1985 and Series 5 from 1986 to 1989, with fuel injection on Series 5. The Virage replaced it in 1989.
