A remarkable and rare DBD powered, numbers matching, UK supplied RHD car in original Deep Carriage Green with Grey hide. Possibly the most original Mk3 we have seen, fitted with it’s ultra-rare DBD triple SU carburettor engine. Only 47 cars were produced with this high performance power unit. With just one owner showing on V5 (due to computerisation 1978), this car was first supplied to Mr P. F. Butler in Leeds in March 1959. It has race history from Wiscombe Park in Devon in 1962. The second owner was World War II Spitfire flying ace “Woody” Woodward of Tewkesbury, Glos. The last owner acquired the car as a student in 1970 and his love for it meant he managed to keep hold of it. In 2009 the car went through a lengthy, costly and extremely sympathetic restoration. Every invoice is present in the huge history file, many from AML, and Aston Services Dorset. This car has been in single careful ownership for over 50 years, which might explain the incredible originality and superb preservation of many original parts. We have thoroughly inspected this car and it has been serviced and prepared for use. The level of detail is impressive and it would be very difficult to find a better example. However - there are 2 tiny dings in the paintwork – one in the RH rear wing and one in the left front of the bonnet.
