1967 Aston Martin DB6

KEY FACTS

• A rare and elegant British grand tourer, this Aston Martin DB6 is an iconic 2+2 coupe combining timeless styling with refined long-distance usability.
• It is powered by a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated inline-six, driving the rear wheels via an upgraded five-speed ZF manual transmission.
• This example benefits from a replacement engine, a previous comprehensive restoration, and the desirable five-speed gearbox conversion, enhancing usability and touring capability.
• This original UK-market example was first registered in February 1967, but is understood to have later been imported to Australia, where it spent 33 years of its life before being imported back into the UK.
• The car was reportedly invited to London Concours in June 2025 and, and a month later driven to Le Mans and back for the Le Mans Classic.
• The odometer indicates 70,718 miles, though this is not warranted.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• It rides on a set of 15-inch chrome cross-spoke wire wheels with two-spoke knock-offs, fitted with Pirelli Cinturato tyres.
• Equipment includes a Webasto folding roof, a three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, Smiths gauges, an analogue clock, electric front windows, a push-button Radiomobile stereo, twist-out front quarter light windows, push-out rear quarter light windows, headrests, and air conditioning.
• It has been upgraded with a five-speed ZF manual gearbox, improving cruising refinement and flexibility compared to the original transmission.
• The car will be supplied with its handbook, two substantial history files, and two sets of keys.
