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.
With a special and unique dashboard like this it could only be the one-off DB5 by Ogle Design. I found some pictures I took a few years ago at a Spring AMOC Concours at Waddesdon Manor.
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.
