It is one of rare Vantages in LHD with the very desirable ZF manual gearbox. The current owner bought the car in 2003. A Porsche collector from the Alsace region who is known to be very fastidious, he then undertook a restoration of the body to clean up all the metal-aluminum contact points which are known to be prone to corrosion. Thus, the lower body, the wings and doors have been restored. As can be seen from photographic evidence, the body has been completely sanded and repainted a very nice Ice Blue from the DB4 colour palate, which fits perfectly with the interior&#8217;s original champagne leather that remains preserved with an the inimitable patina. The bumpers were originally rechromed and the rims have been replaced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/2941\/1.html\">Artcurial Motorcars \u00e0 2013 R\u00e9tromobile <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-263429 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1015851.jpg\" alt=\"1967\u21921972 Aston Martin DBS\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=1835&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=1015851\">1968 Aston Martin DBS V8 DBS\/5072\/RAC<\/a> &#8211; <\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p>The factory build sheet shows DBS\/5072\/RAC was sold to a Demetrios Z.

Russell of Bournemouth is indicated by a 1981 re-upholstery invoice, and by 1983 a Mr. Tibble in Hertfordshire is named on an AML parts purchase invoice.

In 1989, after driving the car and pronouncing it \u201cscary fast,\u201d he sold it to Chris Nelson, a Canadian who kept it a further 15 years, carrying out a total body and mechanical restoration. In 2004 the previous owner, an ex-Chairman of the AMOC East\/USA, bought DBS\/5072\/RAC. After 10 years or so in an unheated barn, another mechanical refurbishment was in order. It is almost easier to list what wasn\u2019t done, but suffice it to say that the engine, fuel injection, suspension, clutch, braking system and the electrics were renewed. Since club track days were anticipated, performance improvements were also carried out. An HD suspension, four springs, four shocks and front and rear anti-sway bars, as well as an oil cooler kit and \u201cMSD\u201d electronic ignition kit, were fitted.
