The History of the V8s

One of the reasons I am so drawn to Aston Martin is that this is so much more than just a "car" company. Each Aston Martin built is a hand crafted work of art. Nothing, at least to me, illustates that point more than the history of the V8s during Aston slow years and boom years of the 70s and 80s.

I will try to do this as much justice as I can. For a more detailed analysis please visit my links pages for other sites. You see, during this time Aston produced the V8 in a dizzying array of configurations. The Aston Martin Owners Club has designate each as follows. Please forgive me if I screw some of this up. As you can see below it can be difficult to distiquish what series a particular example fails into. Plus I should have kept better notes when I took the pictures. I have been doing this since 1999 and my picture collection is getting pretty big. But identifing the examples never gets easier. If you see that i have misplaced a picture please drop me a note. I have yet to seperate out my Vantage images from the regular Saloons. I'll do that soon.
