Description
Undoubtedly one of the favourite models of the V8 range from Aston Martin, this Oscar India is presented in Sebring Blue with what is a modest mileage for its age and accompanied by a cracking history file – one for a collector or a newcomer to classic Aston Martins.
Byron International had the pleasure of representing the owner in the sale of his DB6 and feel honoured to represent this outstanding car that is ready for a new owner.
First registered on 21st May 1980 with its first owner Donald Pollock of Glasgow, this fine car has a very clear ownership history with only two further owners to today.
In 1986, the first change of ownership came when a Brian Webster of London acquired the car. With the same enthusiasm, the maintenance of the car was conducted by Aston marque specialist JM Etheridge of Bushey Heath in Hertfordshire and the new owner carried on the concours tradition of the car.
The service record in this period includes attention to paint quality and replacement inner and outer sills.
The final change of owner came in June 2000 when the current long-term owner took over stewardship of the car, calling initially on the well-known talents of Davron for maintenance as they sold him the car. From 2002 to 2013, there are no invoices for routine maintenance, but in addition to Davron, two other specialists, Hoffman’s and Stoke Row Garage did routine maintenance. The owner spent time in the US and has copies of the local registration documents and has recovered the service details from the specialist servicing undertaken at that time.
An Aston enthusiast, the Oscar shared garage space with a DB6 and other more modern cars and you can note from the extensive MOT records that the mileage over this ownership has been modest.
However, the owner’s attitude to excellence with Aston Martin is reflected in his attitude when the car came to Byron International for sale - details above . A full assessment showed there was some investment required before the car came to market so that its condition reflected its history – the invoices noted in the history from Vantage Engineering demonstrate that the car is presented in great fettle and his investment in the future of the car exceeded £5, 500.
Just 3 owners from new, she comes with the original handbook, service voucher books and a great history including Concours wins – that £5, 500 spent on pre-sales mechanical presentation – but buyers will note some electrolysis visible round the screens
