Description
The Aston Martin DB6 represents the ultimate expression of British grand touring in the 1960s – elegant, refined and unmistakably classic. Produced in March 1967, this DB6 Coupé was assembled at Newport Pagnell and delivered with its original 3. 995-litre inline-six, paired with a manual gearbox, developing 282 bhp and offering a top speed of around 149 mph (approx. 240 km/ h).
The chassis number DB6/ 3030/ R and the engine number 400/ 3051 confirm that this car retains its matching numbers, a highly sought-after feature among collectors. It is presented in its original Pacific Blue with light tan leather interior, a combination that blends subtle elegance with the DB6’s characteristic fastback/ Kamm tail silhouette. Initially produced for right-hand drive, it has since been converted to left-hand drive (LHD) for use on continental Europe.
This example benefits from a meticulously documented history, supported by Aston Martin Works invoices and Classic & Sports Cars (France) archives. Between 2017 and 2022 it underwent a comprehensive restoration and maintenance programme, including a rebuild of the cylinder head, replacement of the carburettors and ignition system, a complete electrical system overhaul, and the professional installation of a new ZF gearbox rebuilt in Schweinfurt, Germany, to factory specifications.
Today, the DB6 presents in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, with around 71, 500 miles on the odometer. Its original colour combination highlights the model’s elegant lines, while the interior preserves a natural patina that attests to the authenticity of this classic British grand tourer.
Produced in only 1, 327 examples, the DB6 represents the final evolution of the David Brown era, combining classic design, improved comfort and optimised handling. Elements such as the extended wheelbase, power steering and refined suspension make it both a pleasure to drive and a genuine collector’s icon.
With its matching numbers, its complete restoration history and its stylish presentation, this DB6 Coupé offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of Aston Martin’s most celebrated grand tourers, in original specification and perfectly ready to hit the road.
