This Aston Martin DB6 was first dispatched to the United States and allocated the chassis number DB6/2604/LN. According to AML records, 2604 was one of thirty DB6 saloons returned to the UK between May and August 1967 in order to satisfy increasing demand from British buyers. Of those thirty cars, thirteen were converted by Aston Martin to right hand drive specification, with the chassis suffix amended to an ‘R’ to denote the revised steering configuration. Chassis 2604 was subsequently sold to its first UK owner by Lazenby Garages Ltd of Rothley, Leicestershire.
Originally specified in Fiesta Red with a black interior, the car was fitted with a BorgWarner automatic gearbox and, due to its original US destination, equipped with ‘Normalair’ air conditioning, a rare and desirable feature on early Mk. I examples.
It is now presented in the iconic Silver Birch over black leather interior, a particularly sought-after colour combination, and benefits from the installation of the highly desirable ZF manual gearbox. Although not currently fitted, the original BorgWarner automatic transmission is included in the sale.
More recently, the car has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration undertaken by Amazing Autos in South Wales, Aston Workshop, and Nicholas Mee, with expenditure totalling in excess of £152,000. Amazing Autos were commissioned to return the car to bare metal, carrying out any necessary body repairs prior to a full repaint. The interior was also retrimmed, including the front leather seats, headlining, dashboard and carpets. The brightwork has been re-chromed and remains in excellent condition, while the suspension and mechanical components have been restored by marque specialists.
The engine, running gear and ancillaries have all benefited from substantial refurbishment work, culminating in a major service and further works totalling over £32,000 completed by Nicholas Mee in May 2025. The car is offered with its Heritage Certificate, a comprehensive file of invoices and restoration bills, the current V5 registration document, and an extensive photographic record detailing the restoration process and associated works.

Interested parties should note that the original Borg Warner gearbox is located in London and must be collected by the buyer following a successful sale.
