Aston Martin DB6 Vantage MKII
Considered by many to be the last ‘real’ Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965, updating the DB5. Although recognisably related to its Touring-styled DB4 ancestor, the DB6 abandoned the underlying Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication while retaining the aluminium outer panels. Somewhat confusingly, ‘Superleggera’ badges continued to be applied for a time, presumably until stocks ran out. The wheelbase was now 4″ (100mm) longer than before, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. 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.
This particular car was fully restored and presents itself in very good condition. Originally delivered in England, it was later professionally converted to LHD with the support of an Aston Martin Authorised dealer. All the original parts were kept and are included in the sale. This beauty is registered in Portugal and ready for a test drive!
