Aston Martin DB6 MkI Saloon RHD 1967

General description : Just arrived – Aston Martin DB6 MKI Saloon
This beautifully presented Aston Martin was delivered to its first owner, a Mr K. S. Walker of Sheffield, in September of 1967. It was finished in Silver Birch with Blue Trim and came with a number of special options including Borg Warner automatic transmission, power steering, chromed wire wheels, power aerial, heated rear screen and lap belts.
The earliest history of the car is still being researched but by 1985 it had been purchased by a Mr Brooker who purchased it as a teenager and used it only sparingly before selling it in 1989 to a Mr Spyders, an independent retailer, who in turn sold it to a Mr Gray. It was during Gray’s ownership that a significant amount of mechanical and cosmetic work was undertaken with renowned marque specialists R S Williams and Ian Mason as well Aston Martin Works Service. At this time the car was also converted from automatic transmission and the desirable ZF five-speed manual gearbox was installed. Gray eventually sold the car and each of the subsequent owners continued to maintain it in the same fastidious manner, as shown by the numerous invoices in the car’s history file. Accordingly the car remains in very nice condition, retains its original engine and presents beautifully in its correct Silver Birch with Blue interior.

About Aston Martin DB6
The Aston Martin DB6 is often considered the ultimate evolution of the DB4/DB5 series and is highly regarded for its design, performance, and refinement. While some may argue that the DB6 is a larger and heavier sibling to its predecessors, it is important to note that the DB6 introduced significant improvements and enhancements. Here are some key aspects of the DB6 that showcase its significance:

1. Design: The DB6 retained the elegant and timeless design language of its predecessors but introduced subtle changes to enhance aerodynamics and improve passenger comfort. It featured a longer wheelbase, improved headroom, and a more refined silhouette. The Kamm tail design at the rear helped reduce aerodynamic lift and improve stability at high speeds.

2. Performance: The DB6 featured an upgraded engine with increased displacement, resulting in improved performance compared to the DB5. It was available with a 4.0-liter inline-six engine, producing around 282 horsepower. Additionally, the DB6 offered a choice between a ZF 5-speed manual transmission or a Borg-Warner automatic transmission.

3. Refinement and Comfort: The DB6 introduced several comfort and convenience features, including improved seating and increased legroom for rear passengers. It also featured power-assisted steering as standard, enhancing the driving experience.

4. Production: The DB6 was produced between 1965 and 1970. The exact production numbers for the DB6 vary based on body style and specific model variants. However, it is estimated that around 1,786 DB6 units were built, making it a relatively rare and exclusive model.

5. Cultural Significance: The DB6's cultural context is significant as it represented the pinnacle of Aston Martin's grand touring cars in the 1960s. Its association with the James Bond film franchise further solidified its iconic status. The DB6 made appearances in movies such as "Thunderball" and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," further elevating its profile and desirability among enthusiasts.

While the DB6 may be larger and heavier compared to its predecessors, it offered improved performance, increased refinement, and enhanced comfort. Its classic design, technological advancements, and cultural significance have ensured its place as one of the most desirable and collectible Aston Martin models in automotive history.
