Description
The Aston Martin DBS, particularly in manual form, has firmly established itself as one of the most desirable models to come from the Gaydon era—widely regarded as one of the last truly analogue Aston Martins. Developed from the DB9 but with a far sharper focus, the DBS combined increased performance with extensive use of lightweight materials, including carbon fibre panels and carbon ceramic brakes. With 510bhp from its naturally aspirated V12 delivered through the 6-speed manual gearbox, it offers a driving experience that is increasingly difficult to replicate in modern cars. This particular example is finished in Toro Red metallic with Graphite Wheels, a rarely specified factory colour that gives the car a more distinctive presence than the more commonly seen neutral tones. The interior is trimmed in Obsidian Black leather with Alcantara inserts, complemented by red contrast stitching. It is a 2+0 configuration car, retaining the original purist specification. With just 20, 820 miles from new, the car sits within the most desirable mileage bracket and presents in excellent condition throughout. The car benefits from a full Aston Martin main dealer service history throughout the majority of its life, with a recent service carried out by Aston Installations. It has had 3 previous owners and is supplied complete with both keys, including the glass key, and the original Aston Martin indoor car cover. The car has been garage stored and not used in winter, and remains HPI clear with no accident history, reflective of careful ownership. Manual DBS examples of this quality, mileage and originality are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and are typically retained for long-term ownership.
