Used, This particular DB6 Vantage RHD manual was newly delivered in the UK is an original factory delivered RHD Vantage car. This example is presented in the classic Aston Martin Silver Birch with original Black Hide which marks a change from its original order colour of Fiesta Red. The car was originally fitted with a 5 speed ZF manual gearbox. Like all DB6’s, this magnificent car has an increased wheel base and higher roof line than its predecessor that completed an iconic era of David Brown cars. With the factory delivered triple Weber side draft carburetors it increased power to an impressive 325 BHP making it the fastest GT at the time. Originally delivered to Zambia in 1967 the car found its way down to South Africa passing through various owner’s hands before being bought in 2010 by the previous owner. After trying several local specialists to tune the engine it was then sent in 2014 to renowned specialist R S Williams in England and upgraded to 4,7 litre specification costing some £ 33,000 and delivering 350 hp as evidenced by the test results that accompany the car. The bodywork was rejuvenated by Orbit and the car presents very well and retains a lot of its originality especially with the interior trim and drives exceptionally well. It comes complete with original documents, build sheet, invoices and service manuals. The DB6 Vantage is one of only 268 ever made. It makes for a great investment and is fantastic to drive!. POA ]]>
