The Aston Martin DBS for me is the ultimate muscle car especially in black. A muscle car that makes you feel masculine and yet swarve at the same time. The Aston Martin classic DBS range embodies elegance and power with its subtle yet complex lines.

Owned by a wonderful Aston Martin enthusiast and collector this DBS V8 was bought in for a straight repaint and change of colour from red to black. Unfortunately the strip down process revealed a colourful history, leading to a partial body restoration.

The most challenging part of this Aston Martin restoration was fabricating that distinctive Aston nose and visually balancing all the body lines that stem from.
