Aston Martin V8

£11,400 circa 1976
Saved from extinction by an American-Canadian consortium, Britain’s fastest production car is being built at Newport Pagnell and a costly test programme has prepared the light alloy four-camshaft V8 engine for homologation in USA. Equipment includes Sundym laminated windscreen, electric windows, power-assisted steering with adjustable column and driver control for the passenger’s door lock. Chrysler’s Torqueflite is among the options.

£12765 circa 1975
After the traumas which started around last year’s Motor Show-time, the thoroughbred Aston Martin V8 is back in limited production at the Newport Pagnall works. The 160 mph two-door 2+2 coupe symbolises British automotive craftsmanship with superb engineering and finish. The body is unusually wide and comfortable, and the well-balanced weight-distribution plays its part in the fantastic handling and road holding. The V8 is available with five-speed manual gearbox or three-speed automatic.

There is a long waiting list even if you have that sort 0f money!

Cars of the 70’s

Something that is always of interest, especially to us blokes is cars, so looking back on the old motors of the 70s was certainly something of a treat. With a lot of thanks to all my classic car friends we've put together a great collection of 70s cars including the iconic Capri for you to have a look through, and to make it a little more interesting, we've written it all as if we were in the 70s and even inserted the going price for the cars at that time.
