Elegant 1968 Aston Martin DB6 RHD Coupe
| This fine motorcar is finished in its original DuBonnet Red paint. The interior has new natural tan Garrett leather throughout. A rare option, the Wabasto sunroof operates as it should and is large enough to allow plenty of sunshine into the cabin. This gem is also equipped with the rare power steering option. It arrived to US shores in the late 70’s and we have some paperwork available about its importation and the first owner. The instruments have been rebuilt by Nisonger in New York and they all function accurately. The massive 4 Liter straight 6 cylinder has been rebuilt by Norwood of Dallas and is an engineering marvel. It produces 282hp at 5500rpm thanks to twin overhead camshafts and triple SU carburetors that have been recently overhauled. It has good oil pressure and never runs hot or overheats. A new electronic fuel pump has also been recently installed. The brake system is sound, as it has been gone through and the booster was rebuilt. The exhaust manifold is ceramic coated for better heat management and the headlight covers are actually glass, not plastic.
The gearbox shifts nicely through the gears of the ZF 5-speed manual transmission. The full OEM exhaust system is new and provides a fantastic soundtrack for your motoring pleasure.
During David Brown’s twenty-five year stint with Aston Martin he created the DB6 which is arguably the pinnacle of his design history with the marque. They were manufactured from 1965 to 1970. It followed the popular DB5 with improved aerodynamics and a new rear end. Most of the recognizable points include the return of the front-door quarter windows, an oil-cooler air scoop low on the front end, quarter-bumpers at each corner and an increase in the overall length of approximately two inches.
This is a much loved addition to the historic Aston line and certainly an outstanding example of classic elegance.
