Chassis No.: DB62448R • Engine: Inline 6-cylinder • Transmission: Manual • Exterior: Oyster Shell Gray • Interior: Red • The DB6 was introduced in 1965 as the successor to the iconic DB5 and was produced until 1971, with 1,788 examples built • Right-hand-drive example, chassis no. DB6/2448/R • Delivered on February 2, 1966, to its first owner, John Robert Stockford, in Aberdeen, Scotland and registered as JRS 390 • Meticulous bare metal restoration around 2012 by specialist Mike Gassman of Waynesboro, Virginia • Cosmetically refreshed in 2015 • Prepared for endurance rallying in 2016, with nearly $200,000 in maintenance receipts • Three-time Great American Race participant • 3995cc DOHC inline 6-cylinder engine, no. 400/2394 • Triple SU HD8 carburetors • Rated at 282 HP and 280 lb-ft of torque • ZF 5-speed manual transmission • Steel superstructure with aluminum body panels • Kammback tail styling with a higher roofline and longer wheelbase than the DB5 • Oyster Shell Gray with its original Red leather interior • Independent double-wishbone front suspension with coil springs and a live rear axle with trailing arms, coils and Armstrong Selectaride adjustable rear shocks • 4-wheel Girling disc brakes • Chrome wire wheels with modern tires The Aston Martin DB5’s starring role in the James Bond movies created a silver screen icon and boosted sales to levels Aston Martin had never known before, but the DB6 proved even more popular. As the authoritative British magazine The Motor noted in its 1966 review: “All the DB series have been Grand Tourers in their respective way, but the DB6 is a Very Grand Tourer.” The DB6 rode on a slightly longer wheelbase than the outgoing DB5 and was two inches longer overall, with a more raked windshield and a two-inch higher roofline. With improved head room and leg room in the rear, The Motor rated it a “legitimate four-seater.” Moreover, adaptations to Touring of Milan’s Superleggera construction technique saved weight, with the DB6—also alloy-bodied like the DB5—coming in just 17 pounds heavier to preserve the 145 MPH top speed. With that in mind, the remodeled truncated rear featured a Kamm-tail trunk spoiler that reduced tail lift at high speed. The famed 3995cc/282 HP inline-6 was carried over from the DB5, as was the ZF 5-speed manual transmission. One of just 1,788 DB6s built through to 1971, this early car from 1966 is right-hand drive, as was approximately 85% of production. It was treated to a bare-metal restoration around 2012, cosmetically refreshed in 2015 and then was prepared for endurance rallying in 2016, and features almost $200,000 in maintenance receipts. It has since participated in The Great American Race three times. As a “Very Grand Tourer,” the Aston was aptly suited to an event that tests reliability and navigation precision—at legal speed over public roads—along with how much scenic beauty you can absorb in crossing our continent. Authoritative international classic car magazine Octane reckons the DB6 “even better than the DB5.” Back in 1966 Autocar magazine noted, “The DB6 is expensive and exclusive but the value matches the price.” And in today’s world—and certainly compared with its screen-icon predecessor—the DB6 represents an even better value proposition. https://www.mecum.com/lots/1175404/1966-aston-martin-db6

Aston Martin DB6 Volante, 1968
Chassis No.: DBVC3707R Registration: VLW 951G • Supplied with power steering and triple carburettors from new • Restored to a high standard • A matching numbers example Aston Martin’s DB6 was launched at the London Motor Show in 1965 following the highly successful DB5, immortalised by the 1964 James Bond film 'Goldfinger'. The front of the DB6 was visually similar to the DB5 but closer inspection reveals quite a different car. The wheelbase was lengthened, allowing additional passenger space in the rear, along with a raised roofline. The profile of the rear quarterlights echoed those of the DB4 GT Zagato, a styling theme that continued through the DBS and V8 models until 1990. Both front and rear bumpers were split into two pieces, and the rear of the car was re-styled with a Kamm tail which helped reduce aerodynamic drag and gave the car more stability at speed. The Tadek Marek-designed engine was retained from the DB5, The engine, a 3,995cc twin overhead cam, straight six with triple SU carburettors producing a claimed 282bhp. 'If you want a truly British driver's car, the ultimate development of a continuous line of thoroughbreds from the Vintage era to the present day, there is nothing in quite the same field as the Aston.' - Motor Magazine on the Aston Martin DB6, 26th November 1966. Finished in the delightful colour combination of Old English Pewter and cream Connolly leather interior with Brewster Green Wilton carpets, this handsome DB6 Volante is so beautiful that King Charles himself owns one – and even allowed his son, William, to use it on his wedding day! Supplied originally by H. R. Owen on 12th September 1968, importantly with special order triple SU carburettors, three-ear wheel spinners and power steering. This DB6 has been maintained throughout its life regardless of cost and is supplied with a fantastic service history and a plethora of detailed invoices spanning a 40-year period. A matching numbers example, this Aston Martin DB6 Volante underwent a total restoration over an eight-year period – itemised details of the work can be seen in the comprehensive history folder. Recent work to ensure the car’s condition is maintained include re-chroming of the front bumpers and servicing of the hood’s mechanism as well as more general maintenance. Supplied along with the car is a V5 document, together with an owners’ handbook as well as two binders of receipts and information. Aesthetically this DB6 Volante is spectacular, and the combination of the Royal family connection to the marque and the fabulous, unmarked condition make it the connoisseur’s choice for a car that oozes unrivalled class and sophistication.

Aston Martin DB6 Saloon, 1968
Chassis No.: DB6/3348/R Engine No.: 400/3433 Registration: VGX 820 Sold for an undisclosed fee • Matching numbers with extensive history file • Present owner for 48+ years • Five-speed ZF gearbox with power assisted steering With numerous design proposals put forward by Touring of Milan, the design decision was eventually made to keep the subsequent DB5 model in-house and take advantage of wind tunnel testing for the first time in the company’s history. They lengthened the body and incorporated a kamm-tail that was only previously used in their racing division. The new DB6 was launched in at the London Motor Show in 1965 with a more considered interior offering greater shoulder & lumber support whilst the dashboard offered minor upgrades. There was also better airflow at the front of the car with additional Powr-Lok limited slip differential and chrome wire wheels. Finding a classic car with an extensive single-owner history is a rarity and represents a real bonus as one can only then be assured not only of its provenance but also that it has been extremely well cared-for during its lifetime. Incredibly, chassis 3348/R has been under the same current stewardship for nearly fifty years and, thanks to a copy of the original folding logbook and thanks to the vendor himself, the extensive history is complete. The first owner is recorded as Rowse Muir Publications of Charlotte Street, London. A little additional research shows that the company to be a joint venture. David Rowse’s idea backed by Dickie Muir’s money, they were successful but ultimately the two men, bon-viveurs both, went their separate ways. Muir, immensely affable, also owned the Chelsea restaurant, La Popote, and the first change of keeper to Richard Temple Muir, is stamped as occurring on 8th February 1969. On 9th March 1971, the car was then transferred to Wickham Securities of London, it is interesting that the ‘Usual Signature’ on the logbook for Wickham Securities is from the same Dickie Muir whose home address is noted as Wickham Place in Wickham Bishop. The car only remained there for 18 months before it went to Witham in Essex to a Jeremy Spalding the following year. The final entry into that document is a fascinating company. Conference and Exhibition Wardrobe Chambers of Queen Victoria Street, London, EC4 but to bring that ownership record right up to date, there is the used-car invoice when the current owner acquired this lovely DB6 in November 1977 from Isis Garage in Hayes, Middlesex. The sales invoice records the odometer reading as 68,636 miles, it represents a very usable classic and suited the owner, an Aston Martin enthusiast and long-term member of the Aston Martin Owners Club (AMOC) well. It was never bought as a main means of transport rather just for the joy of ownership. Even then, it was a costly hobby and it was clear that the car was in need of some investment that was beyond the owner’s immediate finances so in January 1981, he took it off the road. For the completeness of the history of the car, he asked contemporary neighbours for written confirmation that the car was laid up and these letters also from part of what is indeed a substantial history file. In November 1982, he contracted a dealer to attend to the mechanical work that was required, unfortunately their quality of workmanship was less than impressive and the car was returned in December 1983. In 1985, substantial works were undertaken to brakes, discs and bearings as well as general maintenance. In 1986/87, the gearbox and clutch were extracted, timing chain, a general tuning work with greasing of important elements. The carburettors were rebuilt in 1988 along with plugs, points and ignition. At the same time, the power steering fluid was replaced as well as additional maintenance, brake pads, steering & track rod ends. More regular maintenance was caried on in the intervening years with associated records filed. A set of new stainless-steel wheels and tyres were fitted in 2011 with the front suspension stripped and re-fitted in 2012 alongside shock absorbers, front brakes and ancillaries. A couple of years later, all the brightwork was replaced as well as significant bodywork that was required at the time finishing off with painting of course and a significant service later that same year. In 2017, additional attention was paid to the front suspension with the carburettors removed in 2018. The most recent works were undertaken by with Aston Specialists, ASD Workshops of Dorset, in 2022/23. In 2022, whereby the engine was extracted, stripped down, reground to -0.01 with new pistons & liners before being rebuilt. The following year the engine was overhauled once again including the clutch, exhaust manifold, steering rack as well as a rebuild of the front suspension, brakes and numerous other areas. A detailed breakdown can be found on the associated webpage. This reflected in a cumulative cost in excess of £47,000. One cannot overstate the history accumulated and recorded over the current owner’s stewardship of the car, it is a catalogue of personal notes, invoices but principally of a passionate relationship between an owner and his much-loved classic. There are notes from the owner to a garage when a minor problem with the Aston threatened its use as a wedding car for his daughter. Twice also, the car was hired out for events and it is always imperative for reliability to be at the forefront in these situations. There is also a hand-written note from Aston Specialist, Andy Chapman, congratulating the owner when he had owned the car for 32 years into his ownership. Only part way as we now know, it should be noted that the speedometer was replaced at the 7,280 mark so the total, in reality, is 108,186. Resplendent in a metallic pale blue and with the benefit of a refurbished Webasto sunshine roof and five-speed manual gearbox adding for driving pleasure, this example ticks many boxes for the next potential Aston Martin owner.
