LAST EVER ASTON MARTIN DBS TO GO UNDER THE HAMMER

The last production Aston Martin DBS is being sold by Coys at its Spring Classics sale in London next Tuesday (10 March, 2015).
 

The auction house said the unrestored 1972 car, which bears the chassis number for the last production model, has an estimate of between £25,000 and £40,000.
 

The Dubonnet Rosso car, originally built in September 1972, has been dry stored since 1980. Among the records provided with the 40,000-mile car are details of work carried by Aston Martin Lagonda on the car in 1990, with the total bill coming to £8500.
 

A Coys spokesman said: ‘With the very low odometer reading on this unique matching numbers GT of just over 40,000 miles, this surely must represent a fantastic opportunity for a true Aston Martin connoisseur, to purchase a unique example of one of the most increasingly sought-after cars of the decade.
 

‘A fantastic example which is highly desirable and being the last off the production line, this surely must be the one to have.’

Update: 
the car beat its upper estimate, selling for £43,240. Chris Routledge, Managing Partner at Coyssaid: ‘A great ending to a fantastic story. The car has been sold to an Aston Martin collector who is so excited about having the opportunity to restore the very last production DBS that has almost started to do the work in the auction room.’
