1 / 1Aston Martin V8
Fully Restored RS Williams 'Fast Road' Spec · 1974
Why this deal stands out
Strong value proposition anchored by RS Williams restoration credentials and comprehensive documentation—the 4,000-mile post-resto mileage and fast road tuning justify the £20k premium over median. However, thin market sample and missing transmission detail warrant careful pre-purchase inspection to confirm stated condition.
