Chassis no. DBVC3633R; Engine no. 4003140. Red with black top over black leather. RHD, 3995/282hp, automatic, wire wheels, aftermarket Blaupunkt cassette stereo.

Evaluation: Located in Dubai. In project condition with dull, severely cracked old repaint and dull brightwork. Decent interior. No severe rust or rot visible underneath. Slightly dirty, lifeless engine bay but everything appears complete. Yes it’s a project and yes it’s an automatic, but it deserves to be saved.

Bottom Line: RM sold this car at the Phoenix sale in 2007 for $220,000. Other than 12 fewer km on the odometer it’s in identical condition and still waiting for the attention it deserves. All classic Astons are worth more than they were 14 years ago, even projects, but for an automatic and a right-hand driver outside of the UK, this is a very generous result.
