1970 Aston Martin DBS
Black Pearl with Tan interior
Six-cylinder engine rebuilt to Vantage spec
This stunning Aston Martin DBS was delivered new to Australia, and remained there until it was brought back to the UK for restoration that started in 2016.

Chassis number DBS/5607/R left the Newport Pagnell factory in May 1970 and was finished in Silver Birch with Dark Blue interior. It was fitted with engine number 400/4621/S and was delivered to its first owner in the southern Australian state of Victoria.

The DBS remained there with its next two custodians, and in 1979 the original automatic gearbox was replaced by a five-speed manual by Tickford Service in Victoria. By the early 1990s, the car was in New South Wales.

After being acquired by a new owner and brought back to the UK, the DBS was entrusted to Aston Martin specialist Richards of England, with the brief to ‘build a driver’s car’. The straight-six engine was therefore rebuilt to Vantage specification, using the correct camshafts and Weber 45 DCOE carburettors. Cosworth pistons were fitted, and drive is now transmitted through a modern five-speed Tremec manual gearbox
