About this car

The DB MkIII was the last Aston Martin of the David Brown era built at Feltham, before production moved to Newport Pagnell. This 1959 car dates from the year Aston won Le Mans outright with the DBR1.

It is one of only 47 cars fitted from new with the "Special Series" engine, designated DBD, which is the period equivalent of a Vantage specification. The 2.9-litre six runs three SU carburettors and is quoted at 180 bhp, making it the most potent MkIII. It is a matching-numbers car with a manual gearbox.

The history file is large and includes a petrol rationing book and bills from the early 1970s. Early owners included Wing Commander V.C. Woodward DFC and Bar, a Second World War ace. The car has been in one family's ownership since 1970 and shows 95,701 miles.
