Hand-built British grand tourer produced by Aston Martin Lagonda from 1969 to 1989, evolving from the DBS V8 into the V8 Series 1-5 and the Vantage. It uses a 5.3-litre all-alloy quad-cam V8 in a steel-and-aluminium body, with a heavyweight, muscular character. It matters as the long-running bridge between the 1960s DBS and the modern era, and as the basis of the Vantage and Zagato cars.
Its brutal, torque-rich V8 and handcrafted coachwork gave Aston Martin a distinctive blend of luxury and raw performance, and the Vantage models were among the fastest production cars of their day. The sheer longevity, low build numbers and association with 1970s-80s British grand touring give it strong cultural resonance.
