Description
1967 Aston Martin DB6, I have owned the car for over 21 years. Finished in Silver Birch with original black leather interior.
Introduced at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 but abandoned the Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication. At 8ft 5¾” the wheelbase was now 3¾” longer than before, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. The result was significantly increased interior space, making the DB6 a genuine four-seater and greatly extending its appeal. Opening front quarter lights reappeared but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3, 995cc. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp. 3 speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission gearbox, and power-assisted steering. Last-of-the-line models are always sought after by discerning collectors, and few are more highly prized that the final flowering of the glorious ‘David Brown’ six-cylinder series, considered by many to be the last of the ‘real’ Aston Martins. Recorded Mileage of 65,### miles, many old MOT certificatesI bought the Aston some 21 years ago, and had mainly used it for promotional, film and photographic work with many leading clothing and product placement companies, many around the Bond theme, although not a DB5, many companies could not use a 5, so used a 6 instead, as well as a few weddings.
