Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

We know that this car spent many years in America, but the kms calibration on the odometer leads us to believe that it probably started out in Europe.

Either way, it was in the US from 1994 until 2018, when it came to live in the UK.

By then, it had undergone a major refurbishment/restoration in 2005, during it which it was repainted in the rare and attractive hue of Ivory (DB608) – its original colour.

In addition to the bodywork refurbishment in 2005 the car was also subject to an engine overhaul, interior re-trim, new soft-top and comprehensive re-chroming.

The gauges were renovated, the brake servo, water pump and shock absorbers were replaced, and the wheel bearings were repacked.

In the service of improving power, reliability and ease of use, the original Solex carburettors were replaced by the Mikuni units you’ll find under the bonnet today.

More recently, respected classic car whisperers Southern Classics of Twickenham got to work on the car in November 2024.
