An absolutely delightful example of this timeless classic, this particular MKIII has matching numbers and is in original, un-restored (with the exception of the carpets) condition. Only three previous keepers since it was first delivered in August 1958.
It has been kept as an original car where possible, one to be cherished and most importantly, driven!
Maintained to a very high standard since changing hands in 1999, over the years it has been at the heart of many family outings and holidays. Scotland (on numerous occasions), Holland, Sweden and Norway (twice) have all been visited with complete reliability.
Annual mileage since 1999 is between 1500 and 3000 miles on average.
It also benefits from a full annual service history from this date which includes a change of engine oil & filter, all oil levels checked and underside checked and Waxoyled as required. Oil pressure is to specification.
A great opportunity to purchase a very sound example and one that has been kept in great condition in order to undertake regular, extensive trips abroad.
A classic Aston Martin that has been driven and enjoyed from day one!
