AM V8 series 3

ASTON MARTIN V8 £9,593
The exclusive 160 m.p.h. luxury car continues with important changes for 1974, including a change from fuel-injection to Weber double-choke carburettors. The new fitting has been standardised in the interests of lowering exhaust emissions as much as possible. New sound-insulation has been adopted which result in normal voice conversations being possible at 140 m.p.h., and there is an automatic door-locking device for the passenger-side door, controlled by a switch on the driver's armrest. Luggage boot capacity has been increased by the use of a simpler-shape fuel tank.
