The Aston Martin V8 Saloon, produced from 1969 to 1989, was a luxurious and powerful grand tourer that represented a significant departure from the traditional, elegant image associated with the British marque. While earlier Aston Martins were known for their meticulously hand-crafted bodies and refined performance, the V8 Saloon was a more modern and practical offering, designed to appeal to a wider audience. It boasted a robust all-steel body, which was a first for Aston Martin, and featured a spacious, comfortable interior with leather upholstery and wood accents. Beneath the hood, the V8 Saloon was powered by a 5.3-liter V8 engine, initially offering 315 horsepower. This engine was later expanded to a 5.3-liter unit, utilizing a naturally aspirated V8, and later, a turbocharged V8, producing 390 horsepower. The V8 Saloon was renowned for its effortless acceleration, making it a capable performer on both winding roads and open highways. The 1986 Aston Martin V8 Saloon, specifically, represents a period of evolution for the model. It benefited from a series of upgrades implemented by the then-owner, Victor Gauntlett, including a revised front end, a redesigned dashboard, and a more potent engine.

This resulted in a significant boost in performance, making the car even quicker and more exhilarating to drive. Despite its increased power, the V8 Saloon remained relatively spacious and comfortable, making it a suitable choice for both daily driving and long-distance trips.
