Aston Martin V8

These cars both competed in two races at the Aston Martin Owners' Club's Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1986.

This car is the 1973 Aston Martin V8 of David Ellis.....

.....and this is the 1972 Aston Martin V8 of Mike Cousins.

This car was produced from 1969 to 1972 as the Aston Martin DBS V8, and from 1972 to 1989 it was known simply as the Aston Martin V8. It was powered by the 5,340cc Aston Martin V8 engine designed by Tadek Marek and a total of 4,021 examples of the car were built. The two photographs above were taken on the approach to Old Hall Corner.

On 31 May 2015 I showed photographs of Davis Ellis's car at the Aston Martin Owners' Club's meeting at Oulton Park in 1993, and on 7 April 2018 I showed photographs of Mike Cousins' car at the Jaguar Drivers ' Club's Oulton Park meeting in 1987.
