Aston Martin Driver Magazine

3 March 2023

Issue 6 of AMD marks the 30th anniversary of the DB7, one of most important cars in Aston Martin’s recent history. After comparing explaining the car’s history we compare an original 3.2 with a late GT V12. We then explain what to look for when buying an original DBS from 1967 to 1972 before investigating the life of the man who designed it, William Towns. We look at the fascinating history of an early V8 Vantage, take a DB6 in the rare colour of Autumn Gold for an autumnal drive across the Yorkshire Moors and explain why the importance of the 1978 ‘Oscar India’ facelift to the AMV8. Our final feature is a look at the unique DB2/4 that was designed by Vignale for a Belgian king in 1954
