It's not an after-market body kit - it is, as far as I know, the standard factory V8 Vantage body of the time. It wouldn't be fair, obviously, to call you ignorant - and anyway, ignorant isn't the slur people build it up to be: it just means you don't know stuff - but this is one of the early Vantages, and the Vantage modifications became incorporated into the design of the car as opposed to being bolt-on parts with the introduction of the Oscar India cars in October 1978. Of course, the GKN-Sankey wheels are a non-standard colour, but period correct x

It's not a Vantage. It's a regular V8 Auto, with factory kit that was usually reserved for the Vantage.

@@raymondthomadwormald9621 Perhaps. Who knows what went through the mind of William Towns as he penned the original DBS back in the '60s. Undoubtedly the Mustang was big news when it launched in '64, and it's not impossible that it might have been an influence. The V8 is an evolution of the DBS, triggered by David Brown's sale of Aston Martin to Company Developments Ltd in 1972. I think the original Mustang would have been considered old hat by then, having been superceded by the admittedly stunning Mach 2.

I once rebuilt a classic Aston V8 engine for a really good friend of mine. I did it for nothing ( the labour, he paid for the parts ) just for the chance to work on something so awesome. I'm pretty sure that the rebuild kit for one of the carburettors cost more than whatever four wheeled heap I was driving at the time. When it was done he had a brass plate engraved for the engine bay with my name on it and the rebuild date, which was an outstanding thank you on his part. Nice to see Tavarish, he's a very likeable character, as is Jonny.

The CLOSEST my family got to own one of those was my Uncle, who, bought the 'Aston Martin V8 Vantage' body kit (DMS/Bullet) for his Ford Capri 2.8i !! 😉🤣🤣 He tried to source the actual A.M. body parts as needed, like rear lights, grill, badges, wheels etc etc to give it more of an authentic 'Feel' to it, he even worked on the interior to bring that more in line with the real V8. In the end, it was one of the better kit forms of Capri/Aston - Vantage V8s. And it looked ACE! One of his previous projects was doing a full resto on a Sunbeam Alpine (I also loved that car!)
