Abstract
- Like Jaguar, Aston couldn't meet US emissions regs with fuel injection, so changed to carburettors - four Webers with a larger bonnet bulge. BUYING AND SELLING Engineer Tadek Marek's all-aluminium, quad-cam, fuel-injected V8 and the William Towns-designed DBS that had been created to house it were both superb, but extremely costly to build, forcing David Brown to sell Aston Martin in 1972. After a substantial refurb by RSWilliams, Raymond's son Stefan has now taken on the car, and will pass it to his own son in time. [Extracted from the article]
