The interior was as usual luxuriously appointed with the finest Connolly hides available in best Aston Martin fashion. James Bond approved as well, using a DBS as his motorcar of choice in the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and again in the next Bond film Diamonds are Forever where a DBS sits in Q's famous workshop getting prepared for action. A superb expression of the automotive design its era, the Aston Martin DBS has become an icon of the marque, and also marks the last model produced under Sir David Brown's leadership at Aston Martin.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
According to copies of factory records, DBS/5100/LC was ordered new by Frank Zurn. Zurn's family business, Zurn Industries, one of the premier plumbing and environmental controls manufacturers, afforded him the means to buy his Aston, and the taste to specify all the right things. Finished in Platinum over Blue Connolly hides, Zurn ensured he'd arrive at work looking cool thanks to an air conditioning system. In addition to that, he'd be up-to-date with the news care of a Bosch New Yorker radio, safe thanks to front seat lap belts, and unruffled care of power-assisted steering. Delivered in the fall of 1968, little further history is known about the car.
The current owner acquired it about a decade ago and it has been on static display since. Some recommissioning is recommended prior to active touring and use.
