1974 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1974 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 is a used car showing 80,646 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Silver Metallic with a Black interior.

Garage Mirabeau in Paris, then the official French importer, took the order for this car in 1974. It belongs to the Series 3, the version on which the DBS name had gone, the Bosch injection gave way to four Weber carburettors and the bonnet gained the tall scoop needed to clear them.

What sets it apart is how little has been changed: where many V8s of the period have been restored or altered, this one remains remarkably original. A marque specialist even kept it for a while as a reference car, checking how trim should fit, where fixings go and which materials the factory used while restoring another Aston Martin.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Aston Martin V8 Series 3 uses the 5,340 cc Tadek Marek V8 fed by four twin-choke Weber carburettors, rated at 310 hp (314 PS), 0 to 97 km/h in 5.7 seconds with the manual or 6.1 with the automatic, with a manual gearbox or an automatic, and rear-wheel drive.

FAQ

This Aston Martin V8 in the European market

Is this Aston Martin V8 priced above or below the European market?

At €178,500, it sits above the median of €147,720 for the 4 Aston Martin V8 advertised in Europe in 2026. 50% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Aston Martin V8 be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Aston Martin V8 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €13,240 in the United Kingdom, excluding options. This car is advertised at €178,500, 1248% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1974 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Aston Martin V8 compare?

80,646 km recorded, against a median of 60,440 km across the Aston Martin V8 advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.
