The Ogle interpretation of a DBS V8 isn’t to everyones taste but is an interesting and rare car by all accounts. This page now features new photographs, complete specification and a link to download a PDF of the rare sales brochure from 1972.
For the love of cars – the Aston Martin DBS
- 19/04/2015Excited about the first programme in the new series of ‘For the Love of Cars’ – 20.00 Channel 4 – tonight. The subject of tonight’s programme is the restoration of a classic DBS, until recently, the Cinderella of the marque. Also featured is the DBS driven by Roger Moore in the ‘The Persuaders!’
The page featuring the wonderfully unusual DBSV8 Sotheby Special has been updated with new photographs of the original car. The Sotherby Special, with coachwork designed and built by Ogle Design is rarely seen in public so it was special for it to be included in the Centenary Timeline at Kensingtonn Palace in July 2013.
Its taken me a while but my video of the 2013 Bonhams Aston Martin Auction has now been uploaded to YouTube. Quite a selection of featured cars including the 2010 Aston Martin LMP1, the 2012 Vantage GTE and the famous Bertone Jet
DBS from the Persuaders!
- 24/06/2013Way back in the early 1970’s, Aston Martin scored a coup when the DBSV8 was chosen to star in the new TV Series called ‘The Persuaders!’. Well it wasn’t actually a DBSV8 as all were allocated to excited customers. Aston were only able to supply a regular 6 cylinder DBS in Bahama Yellow with GKN alloy wheels to resemble their current ‘hero’ car. This is a totally new page with new and unpublished photographs.
