A copy of the factory build sheet notes the detail of this lovely car down to the headlining, carpet colours and even the wheel centre key number! Passed to sales on 3rd March 1989, she was sold by Aston Martin dealer HWM of Walton on Thames to its first owner, a Mr G Burbidge of Village Properties in Westerham in Kent.
First registered on 4th April 1989, she was sold almost exactly 3 years later on 17th April 1992 by her second owner, James Johnston of South East London who kept the car until March 1998 when it was purchased by only its third and current owner.
Accompanying the car is a comprehensive service history that shows a clear pattern of low mileage use that has not prevented the car’s regular maintenance – there was a clear error in the record keeping by HWM in 1995 when they appear to have recorded the mileage incorrectly but one can clearly see the pattern over the lifetime of the car.
The current owner who lives in that same corner of South East London, has had the car maintained by Aston Martin specialists, predominantly Pugsley & Lewis and it was they who, in 2014, rebuilt and uprated the engine to 5.7 litre.
This car has an exceptional history and represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a rare car that has been cherished and well maintained ever since production.
Presented in an ideal colour combination, this is a very useable classic car that has appreciated steadily and includes an engine upgrade from one of the most renowned Aston Specialists
Since making the reluctant decision to sell the car, the owner accepted that there were areas of restoration that would make the car a perfect choice for the next owner if completed. His dedication and pride in the condition of the car saw the expenditure of nearly £40,000 and the reassurance of excellence for any purchaser – making a good car great!
