The Aston Martin DB6, introduced in 1965, represented the final evolution of the iconic 'DB' lineage that began with the DB4. Building on the success of the DB5, the DB6 addressed some of its predecessor's criticisms, most notably rear-seat space and high-speed stability. Its most distinctive feature was the Kamm tail, which, along with a slightly longer wheelbase, improved aerodynamics and luggage capacity. Initially offered with the venerable 4.0-liter straight-six engine, the DB6 Vantage variant, like this example, elevated performance with triple Weber carburetors, boosting output to a robust 325 bhp. This made the Vantage a formidable grand tourer, capable of effortless high-speed cruising and spirited driving, cementing its place as a sophisticated and powerful machine in the golden age of British motoring. This particular 1967 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage Sports Saloon is a rare and highly desirable factory left-hand drive example, making it particularly appealing for enthusiasts in continental Europe or North America. Showing 33,241 miles, this matching numbers car has recently emerged from an extensive private collection and presents as a very presentable driver. It retains its original specification of Dubonnet paint over a Black interior, a classic and elegant combination. Mechanically, it has benefited from a comprehensive service, including all new brakes, rebuilt carburetors, a new clutch slave and master cylinder, fresh fluids and filters, a new radiator and water pump, and a full tune-up. Paired with its original 5-speed manual gearbox, this Vantage runs and drives extremely well, offering an authentic and engaging Aston Martin experience. This DB6 Vantage offers a rare chance to acquire a meticulously maintained, matching numbers, left-hand drive piece of Aston Martin's glorious heritage.
