Welcome back to Tyrrell's Classic Workshop! This episode brings us an exquisite 1988 Aston Martin V8 Coupe, a remarkable blend of luxury and performance. While it bears similarities to the Aston Martin DBS V8 supercar, which we featured last year, this Aston Martin V8 stands out for being both unrestored and in concours condition.
Having covered 68,000 miles, this Aston's engine remains pristine, as Iain demonstrates. He also delves into the Weber Marelli fuel injection system, which was also used in the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth and Ferrari F40, and talks about the Chrysler Torqueflite automatic transmission. Despite not being a Vantage or a DBS, this "common or garden" V8 remains special, as Iain illustrates with the luxuriously appointed interior swathed in the finest Connolly Leather.
Join Iain as he takes the Aston for a road test, enjoying the burble of the powerful V8 engine. Watch as he "opens the taps" on this classic gentleman's express, a prime example of classic British cars.
Thank you once again for the overwhelming support - your likes, subscribes, and comments encourage us for the future of this channel!

Gentleman of a certain age, The opening sequences to the TV series the "Persuaders with the DBS & Dino. Life forming. And here we are getting another reminder of things we never acheived as adults, beamed to our Ipads & laptops courtesy of Mr Tyrrell. Heavenly used for the second time today.

It was a warm April day in 1982 when this Canadian, on a high school trip to the UK, crossed a road near Savile Row directly in front of a V8 (a Vantage, I think), and the particular gentlemen honoured my teenage ogling of his car with a blip of the throttle. My friends weren't quite so aware of such British automotive anachronisms, but for me it was the cherry on top of a trip that had already been filled with all manner of European automotive unobtanium. Grown up me realizes dreams are best left as such. Thanks for taking me back a bit.

@johanbjork1650 26 дней назад

I recall meeting the great Victor Gauntlett at NPP in 1980 after the motor show in London on a Sunday early afternoon and seeing his Aston outside the office. He came out of his office to see what was happening and engaged us in conversation. What a lovely man. It was a wonderful meeting with a warm and pleasant gentleman. RIP Victor Gauntlett.

We raced Victor Gauntlet from Silverstone to Buckingham. He was in the Aston Martin test car AML1, us in our 1300 Marina. We were flat out, he couldn't pass us until we got to a very long straight, where we didn't have the top speed to stop him passing. As he passed he took off his flat cap and dipped his head in respect. He also blew his horn after straightening up. The next day we met and had a laugh about it. He was a really nice guy. Because we used to live near Huddersfield we saw David Brown many times driving his DB5 or 6 shouting brake.

@AntonHoward-mx9sb 26 дней назад

My first experience with Aston Martin's came when I was about 7 or 8 years old. My cousin married a man whose father had his brand new Aston Vantage at the wedding, bright red, and at a time when an Aston really was something special, 1977-78ish. Now, I don't know how true this story was but apparently he had an import/export business in the 70s breaking the sanctions against Rhodesia during the bush war, flying fruit out........and weapons in..! As I understand it he had a rolling annual order with Aston and kept the previous ones! He bought my cousin a brand new 308gtb as a wedding present.. Still an exquisitely proportioned bolide, and pretty brutal in Vantage spec. Yet another superb film for a Sunday evening just to remind me what a failure I've been in life....lol.

I love these cars and visited the Newport Pagnell factory back in 1998 when the last of the “V8s” were made. I got to see the work benches (I think there were 3) where the men built entire engines and talked to “the ladies” across the street where the upholstery was made. A charming tour by a retired factory worked made it a special day.

@stevemawer848 26 дней назад

I used to drive through Newport Pagnell in the 1970s on my way to Wellingborough and often saw two or three Astons parked in the nearby pub car park. It occurred to me that the car park was more expensive than the building!

@toadattoadhall 21 день назад

I was very fortunate to have a friend with the AM V8 that he allowed me to drive for a couple of days. It was glorious and the drive became a memory of a lifetime. The only thing that dated it was the brakes that required a proper push to slow it, but once I had become accustomed to this it was magical. The engine note is fantastic, especially in confined areas like bridges and tunnels.

@ThomasMulhall 26 дней назад

Marvelous narration and storytelling, Iain! Such a pleasure to receive your in depth knowledge and I agree that this blue on the DBS/V8 body is the second best, next to Olive, of course. One slight detail: the ally bodies were made over hammer forms, which were steel, in sections, then welded together on either the buck or the actual chassis. The wooden buck is actually a checking buck, and there were many different hammer forms made for each curve or fold in the ally. I made a buck for my DBS lower front valance, or Sharkmouth, and that was a job indeed! My metal guru then made hammer forms from that, and used the buck to check the pieces. All of it was welded onto the car from 5 pieces, then the fettling began! I would love to finally complete her and would be honoured to present Her Majesty's Secret DBS to you and have you smile and grin as you did with this V8. Thank you for your great work!

It's possible that my car was on that Motor Show stand. It's a '76 V8 originally owned by AM co-director Alan Curtis. The colour is called "Cambridge Blue Cosmic Fire" I believe. - Cosmic fire being a very 1970s way of saying "metallic" 🙂

A burl is a deformed growth on the trunk, like a benign cancer, so only some trees get them, and when you slice it you get the swirly cross section which is quite different from regular walnut wood. The panel that houses the instruments is very intricate and hard to make. Back in the day I had a Jag that had wood on dashboard and doortops but the instrument panel was fake wood.

@Abbytaz1 24 дня назад

Vantage owners may disagree but I'd say the regular V8 is the more 'resolved' of the two. Neither car was built for throwing around corners and the ease of an automatic gearbox just seems so much more suited to the car's character. A 'Rolls-Royce on steroids' is the best description I'd heard. Oh, and that grill; so much prettier than the blanked off Vantage.

With the ZF gearbox being 10x the cost of the Torqueflite automatic transmission - it is probable that AM set the cost based on all cars coming with manual and if the auto option was selected, then it was offered as a “no cost option” and in turn AM pocketed the discount to themselves for ‘saving’ the cost of putting in the expensive ZF ‘box.
