1970 Aston Martin DBS Sports Saloon 5-Speed with Vantage Spec Upgrade
This 1970 Aston Martin DBS Sports Saloon is a desirable 5-speed example that's been upgraded to Vantage spec. Originally completed in Black over Red Connolly leather, it is precisely the color scheme with which it appears today. Its factory build sheet notes that this DBS was purchased new in White Plains, New York through J. S. Inskip. Ordered with the ZF 5-speed manual, options included air conditioning, power assisted steering, a Bosch New Yorker Radio, Fiamm horns, dual rear lap belts, and dual head rests. While not originally noted as being ordered as a Vantage-spec example, at some point the engine was upgraded to the more powerful specification with a triple Weber carburetor setup that this DBS still has today. An honest and largely original example that's been off the road and in storage for several years and is not currently running. It is advised that a thorough servicing be carried out prior to use.
