Aston Martin V8 Oscar India

This 1980 Aston Martin V8 is an Oscar India, the revision introduced in October 1978 that gave the Newport Pagnell V8 a closed bonnet bulge, an integrated rear spoiler and a return to burr walnut inside. Power comes from the Tadek Marek-designed 5.3-litre all-alloy V8, here with an automatic gearbox.

It began life as an Aston Martin factory demonstrator, used until 1981, when it passed into private hands. The page describes a documented history file and names later keepers, including Mrs Helen Brown from 1985. The dealer sold it to the current owner in 2014. The page cites both four owners from new and six previous keepers in its technical data, so the count is worth checking against the file.

It is finished in metallic green over Magnolia leather with dark green piping, and shows 132,000 miles. The price is on application.
