1967 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage Saloon Chassis no. DB6/3599/LAC Engine no. 400/4028/VC The culmination of Aston Flash version Martin’s long-running line of ‘DB’ six-cylinder sports saloons, and thus considered by many to be the last ‘real’ Aston, the DB6 was introduced in 1965, updating the DB5. Aware that increased headroom and legroom was required to extend the car’s appeal to a wider market, Aston Martin lengthened the wheelbase by 4” and undertook an extensive re-style, incorporating a more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Although still recognisably related to the original Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance, 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 Marekdesigned six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was
offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time there was optional power-assisted steering. This left-hand drive DB6 Vantage was bought by the current owner in 2003 having suffered serious accident damage a few years previously. A five-speed manual model equipped with the optional power-assisted steering and optional air conditioning, the car is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. We are advised that the Weber carburettors have been overhauled and a new fuel pump fitted, and that the engine is in running condition. Offered with (copy) old USA Certificate of Title. Cette DB6 Vantage à conduite à gauche a été acquise par le propriétaire actuel en 2003 après avoir subi quelques années auparavant de gros dégâts par accident. Modèle à boîte manuelle à cinq rapports, direction assistée et air conditionné optionnels, la voiture est présentée “ à restaurer ” et vendue strictement en l'état. Il nous a été précisé que les carburateurs Weber ont été refaits, que la pompe à essence est neuve et que le moteur est en état de fonctionnement. Voiture accompagnée d'un ancien Certificate of Title américain (en copie). Sold for €51,750 inclusive of Buyer's Premium
