The Aston Martin DBS, introduced in 1967, marked a pivotal moment for the marque, intended as the successor to the iconic DB6. Designed in-house by William Towns, its more muscular, modern aesthetic was a significant departure from the Superleggera lines that defined its predecessors, signaling a new design direction for Aston Martin. Initially launched with the venerable Tadek Marek-designed 4.0-liter straight-six, the DBS was a true grand tourer, offering a more spacious and luxurious cabin than the DB6. While its initial production run coincided with the development of Aston's new V8 engine, the six-cylinder DBS models are highly regarded for their purity of form and driving dynamics, representing the final evolution of Aston Martin's six-cylinder GT cars before the V8 era fully took hold. This 1970 Aston Martin DBS Sports Saloon stands as a superb example of this transitional model, presented in its striking original livery of Black over a sumptuous Red Connolly leather interior. With 0 miles on the odometer since its most recent work, this particular DBS boasts a desirable 5-speed manual gearbox, enhancing its engaging driving character. Further elevating its appeal, this car has been upgraded to Vantage specification, hinting at a more potent performance profile. Its factory build sheet confirms its original delivery to White Plains, New York, through the esteemed J.S. Inskip dealership, adding to its documented history and provenance. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously presented and historically significant Aston Martin DBS, ready for its next chapter.
