A popular automotive YouTuber has helped to uncover a 1970s Aston Martin supercar that has lied undiscovered in a garage for several decades.<\/p>\n

Jonny Smith is an automotive journalist who presents the popular YouTube channel The Late Brake Show, in which he road tests the latest models and uncovers \u2018barn find\u2019 cars.<\/p>\n

In one of his latest videos, he interviews Robert, the son of the owner of the 1978 Aston Martin V8, who tells Jonny that it was one of many interesting cars his father drove.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cDad got it in December 1986, which is a while ago now, and he went through a phase in his life where would buy a car every Christmas. He\u2019d buy himself a new sports car, so he\u2019s had Cosworths, TVRs, Porsches, everything you could name of.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this one I think was his favourite because this is the one he kept, along with a Cobra replica and a Fiat, which is around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joined by Robert and the motoring YouTuber Freddie Hernandez, known to his fans as Tavarish, Jonny was able to inflate the tyres and push the Aston Martin out of the garage so the engine could be worked on.<\/p>\n

Whilst the engine was in generally good condition for a vehicle that has spent about 25 years off the road, the petrol left in the car had to be pumped out and replaced.<\/p>\n

After some checks, the team got the engine running once again, despite some small issues with the carburettors.<\/p>\n

Upon getting the Aston Martin cleaned and running, Jonny highlighted how pleased he was with the car, which will continue to be worked on.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019ve really, really enjoyed myself today, and I always think to myself if we can\u2019t get the car running at least we\u2019ll just clean it. But we\u2019ve managed to get it fired up, and actually with a fairly rudimental fuel system it was happy when it was warm.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think it looks so different to all the other Astons of this era, because you don\u2019t see black with black wheels very often, with this body kit.\u201d<\/p>\n
