Finished from the factory in Platinum (white) over blue leather, this Aston is powered by its numbers-matching 4.0-liter DOHC straight-six, which is mated to the original four-speed gearbox. The original 3.77:1 rear end has also been retained, and additional equipment includes triple SU carburetors, four-wheel disc brakes, chrome wire wheels, and Smiths instrumentation.
