Buying a 1977 Aston Martin V8

In 1977, detailed engine modifications were made to overcome the loss of power of the 1976 Aston Martin V8 cars, due to emission standards getting stricter. The new engine, named Stage 1, featured new camshafts and a new exhaust (which was developed for the V8 Vantage) to improve the engine’s breathing. The power output was restored to a more respectable 305 hp. Occasionally, the Stage I engine cars are referred to as V8 S. The style of the V8 is very contemporary, featuring a squared off front grille, single headlamps (compared to the 4 headlamps of the first models), and a bigger bonnet scoop to adjust for the Weber carburetors, which took up more space than the initial fuel injection system. Updates were also made to the interior trim of the 1977 Aston martin V8 and a new fuel tank was designed to save luggage space.
