To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Munich event, 23 November 2024.

• UK-delivery car exported by the consigning owner to the Middle East in 2011
• Equipped with a straight-six engine that was later upgraded to Vantage specification
• Requires recommissioning prior to road use following a period of static display
• Accompanied by a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, jack, and tool roll

Introduced by Aston Martin at the very end of DB6 production, the Mk 2 was launched to represent the long-lived model at its ultimate evolution. Some of the changes were mechanical and subtle, including fitment of a larger clutch plate and power-assisted steering as standard equipment. Others were easily noticeable, such as the adoption of wider wheels with standard three-ear knock-offs, necessitating flared wheel arches, and a more modern interior with pleated leather front seats, forecasting the DBS V8 that soon followed.

According to the accompanying British Motor Heritage Trust (BMIHT) certificate, this UK-delivered car boasts a 29 April 1970 build date. The original exterior colour is recorded as Velvet Green to complement green interior trim. A 14 January 1971 dispatch date is noted, with the Aston Martin subsequently sold via Odeon Motors Limited. It is then believed to have enjoyed a succession of owners based around London and the south-west of England.

Thought to have originally been slated as a DB6 with electronic fuel injection, the visible alteration of this car’s engine number suggests it was later upgraded to Vantage specification.

Subsequently acquired in September 2011 by the consigning keeper, who had it exported to Kuwait, this car would benefit from recommissioning prior to road use following a period of static display. In highly desirable Mk 2 Vantage form, the sale of this DB6 makes for a tantalising proposition for any Aston Martin enthusiast.
