The Car Behind This Bag
1969 · 5.3L Tadek Marek V8 · Newport Pagnell · designed by William Towns · the fastest four-seater of its era
The DBS V8 was the car Aston Martin built to replace the DB6 and to make a clean break from the Touring of Milan body language that had defined the marque since the 1950s. William Towns drew the body — slab-sided, square-shouldered, deeply British — and Tadek Marek designed the all-new 5.3-litre quad-cam V8 that would carry every Aston flagship for the next twenty years. The DBS V8 launched in September 1969 and was, on its release, the fastest production four-seater in the world.
Bond drove the six-cylinder DBS in On Her Majesty's Secret Service the same year — the only Lazenby Bond film, the one critics underrated for two decades and then reassessed as one of the strongest in the canon. The Persuaders! put Roger Moore in a yellow DBS dressed as a V8, with the personal plate "BS 1." In Newport Pagnell the cars were still being assembled by hand, three or four a week, in a workshop that would have looked familiar to a 1930s Bentley fitter.
Aston built only 405 DBS V8s before renaming the car simply "V8" in 1972. The interior — Connolly hide over a teak veneer dash, Smiths instruments, Wilton wool carpet — remains one of the more emphatically British cabin treatments of the postwar era.
