Years ago I was rebuilding M100 engines from Mercedes 6.3's and getting the injection pumps rebuilt was getting to be a problem as the blokes who did it were retiring and no longer doing it. I got in touch with Bosch in Germany only to find that the tech publication department had dumped all their info and no longer had any idea of the pumps. So I turned to the Aston Owners club in the UK where I got sent actual copies of the books i was hunting for. At that time a lot of DBS V8's had been converted to Carbs and wise owners were restoring them back again. Bosch contacted me and asked if they could have a copy...LOL!. Back in the early 70's my dad had a mate who bought a new DBS V8 and actually let my 15 year old brother take it for a drive..!

As a 20 yr old (1984) service engineer , I had a job to do in Largs (Scotland) . I parked up my car & was walking along the pavement going to the job, on the other side of the road I saw this Aston (exact same colour as in the video) sticking out at least a foot wider than all the other cars in the row. I remember thinking “what a diddy, this guy can’t park his car”. I crossed over the road & to my amazement the 2 wheels next to the kerb were just about touching the kerb. I couldn’t believe who wide the was.

A 1970 manual DBSV8 was my first Aston....which came to me in many bits in 1994, as an abandoned project. Suspension off, interior in bags and boxes. Engine ancilliaries all off the car. It took me two years to get it up and running, with lots of help, and much painting and scraping. And then DAYS to get the injection right, but once it was...then it was like a small fighter plane nailed to the tarmac. It had such commanding road presence, looked great, but was also a real hooligan's car. It was our long distance family car, and my competition car in AMOC sprints and hillclimbs. It was always an event to start it up, ease it out of the garage (the car was so wide, and the fit so tight that I had to get in and out via the driver's window because I could not open the door far enough) and head off in it. Though I did end up modifying the brakes...and the suspension...and the tyres...and the ignition...and the diff - but we did not need to touch the engine for many years. And, yes, Iain, your guestimate of power is spot on. Mine was dyno'd at around 320 bhp, and once the cams came in, it was very very quick. And the noise!! Fabulous. Your vid brings it all flooding back!

I wonder about getting one with the smaller engine. I could probably fit a bigger engine of a similar sort into that bay. The little Aston engine that couldn't might succeed in its next life as a coffee table. In any case, I get to drive a beautiful shell with a modern V8. Any suggestions for a smooth overpowering V8 are welcome.

The Persuaders car was a Vantage 6 cylinder that was made to look like a V8 because the V8 was delayed.

I've seen one with a 6 being restored many years ago (taking ages) and the styling of this particular design has always made my heart pounding. The result wasn't near this immaculate piece of work I must say, but we are of course witnessing Tyrrell's here. Done brilliantly 💓 Happy Easter 🥚🐣🐇

Ian, I always enjoy your videos. This one reminds me of the time we borrowed a Volante from Aston (I worked at Rolls Royce) and I was out for a drive in the Cheshire lanes when turning left out of a junction it lost drive to the rear wheels and the nearside rear camber looked a little sorry for itself. I phoned up to say it would be coming back on a flat bed bed, and they told me it was Victor Gauntlett's own car, the only one they had not done a recall on to fix the issue. Whilst it was in good health prior to the fault, I couldn't help thinking this was a mans version of the TR6.

The color is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. My favorite color, and favorite color for a car.

The best of the best. Loved everything about this episode. Such an iconic car, and, in my opinion, the best-looking of all the 60s Aston models. Like some others mention here, I fell for this car via Roger Moore and 'The Persuaders' - specifically the shots in the opening titles, but the colour on this one wins out over the gold in that programme, for me. And what a fantastic sound that V8 makes! I would buy this in a heartbeat (if I won the lottery, sadly haha)

The roads look kind of rough around Iain's shop, yet I didn't hear much suspension noise from this fast sports car. I'm guessing it must ride nice, too, then? Such a beautiful body style and color!

Lovely colour , you didn’t get to see the colour in OHMSS with George Lazenby due to car scenes being shot in dusk , or was it dawn , either way , it was complete with wire wheels so would have been a straight 6 car , possibly in Vantage trim . The same as The Persuaders car used by Sir Roger Moore as Lord Brett Sinclair which was in Bahama yellow , but in that case sporting the V8 wheels . v8 are always impressive in these , although this example still needs some “ fine tuning “ as Iain admits
