This book comes about due to the love of a motor car for being itself and to tell of a change for a car that has stood for over forty years. In June 2009, the Aston Martin DB MK III Registration Number WYE 847 was first sighted in a locked-up garage in Weybridge, Surrey, UK, awaiting restoration completion that had started some forty-three years earlier and not quite finished due to occupation changes, residence moves, and the passing of time. In July 2009, the DB MK III [WYE 847] recommissioning was started by Aston Works Service in Newport Pagnell, and this book records in part its restoration work details. -Engine cylinder head repairs -Suspension and brakes repairs -Body refurbish, lighting system repair and upgrade -Interior attention Restoration work was attended to and all the while the car was used at every opportunity. The DB MK III Registration Number WYE 847 was garaged for more than forty years, then recommissioned and used on roads never seen before and driven to places never before visited. This short book tells of the first year of a new lease of life. 1959 - 1962 - 1st Owner 17982 miles no details 1962 - 1968 - Previous Owners No details 1968 - 1969 - Previous Owner Minimal road use 1969 - 2009 - Previous Owner Restoration - No road use 2009 - July 9 - October 2010 4863 traveled miles 2011 - March - September 3425 traveled miles 2012 - Jan - September 4892 traveled miles In December 2010, WYE 847 met up with a very close relative, the DB MK III DHC registration XGT 506, made in the same year, 1959, three months younger, and now to be a constant companion.
