Newport Pagnell V8s (1969-1989)
|
 The six cylinder William Towns styled DBS had been around for a couple of years anxiously awaiting the V8 engine that had been especially designed for it. And in early 1970 the DBS V8 was finally made available – to become one of the fastest cars available at the time. The 5.3 litre Tadek Marek designed engine was able to develop around 320 bhp which gave the ability to reach 160 mph - all this with space for four people. Demand for the car was great with production reaching 402 examples within just two years of production starting.
