1969 Aston Martin DBS6

Aston Martin DBS6 - The early "new" shape DBS was built with an upgraded straight 6 engine from the DB6 for a short period before the V8s were fitted. To many, the lighter weight and free revving 6 cylinder engine gave these early cars a more nimble, sporting feel than the heavier and "lazier" V8s. This model was featured in the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, starring George Lazenby.

This particular example was originally finished in Silver Birch (the colour of the DB5 driven by James Bond in the form of Sean Connery) with black leather interior. It was first registered 11th April 1969. At some point in its life, it was repainted in its current gold. It will be returned to the original Silver Birch during restoration. We’re thinking of a burgundy leather interior, instead of black.

The car will be completely stripped to bare metal, all paint and removed and all mechanical parts inspected. Every single item will be inspected and only returned to the car in perfect condition. The engine, transmission and differential will be sent to world renowned specialists for complete reconditioning. While that's in progress, the structure and bodywork will receive the same treatment by the specialists at our workshops. The resulting car will be better than new; a hand-built masterpiece. The buyer will, of course be able to select elements of the final specification. The earlier you they place your deposit, the greater the scope for personalisation. Or, buy it as is and take the project home in UK, Singapore or anywhere gloally.
