Wanted: Rapide Interior, headlining, fuel tanks, carpet, trim etc etc... Laughing

But seriously a Workshop Manual would be nice.

Hi Christian,

There is no workshop manual for the DB Rapide, so far as I am aware. All there is available are the owners manual and various sales brochures etc. (the most comprehensive of which, for what it is worth, is the original model launch portfolio).

As you know, Aston Services Dorset has some spare parts and a few of the owners of the surviving cars have various odds and ends. Fuel tanks will need to be re-fabricated in most cases when the cars are restored. Headlining, carpets, upholstery and other interior parts ditto.

Best,

Tim

Christian,
The handbook for our car is the DB5 book.
Sorry, no spares to spare, but a fair bit of restoration knowledge.

Christian, should you need new tanks I suggest you talk to Adrian at Aston Engineering at Derby 01332 371566 who are very competitive. They can be made as original or in alloy, which strangely enough can often be the cheaper option. It is also worth considering dispensing with the crude solenoid system, which often leaks & is a prime cause of the dreaded boot aroma. Best wishes,
Guy.

I'd second Guy's remark about the solenoid in the right hand tank, very difficult to get a good gasket seal. I had the last 2 "new" tanks from ASD back in about 2000-2001 so refabrication is now the only option
