    Possibly one of the rarest Astons (not counting Zagatos)?

    James Bond's squeeze for On Her Majesty's Secret Service!

    However... natty fact... it was actually the 6-cylinder version with V8 badges and a dubbed soundtrack. Hence the fact that the tyres squealed on sand...

    DBS V8 model.

    Does anyone here remember a supremely chique TV-series called The Persuaders?

    In September 1969, the DBS was made available with a 5340cc V8 engine, this variant being known as the DBS V8. At the time, it was the fastest 4 seater production car in the world. The new model was fitted with light alloy wheels (as opposed to wire wheels on the DBS) and ventilated brake discs. Automatic transmission was offered as an alternative to the ZF 5 speed manual gearbox. The DBS V8 was produced until May 1972, after which it was given a single headlamp front end and was renamed to AM V8.
