Aston Martin DB6 Mk2 Vantage

The DB6 Mk2 was built for only about 16 months alongside the new DBS, and just 240 were made. Only 70 of those had the Vantage engine, with triple twin-choke Weber 45 DCOE carburettors, uprated camshafts and revised valve timing for roughly 15% more power and torque. This is one of them, and the dealer says it is the only Mk2 Vantage to have left the factory with a five-speed manual gearbox and still wear its original colour, Bahama Yellow, over black trim.

The car is believed to have covered 41,000 miles from new and has had three owners. R S Williams completed a major restoration in 2023, including a full engine and transmission rebuild, and rebuilds of the brakes, suspension, cooling system and electrics. The alloy body was repainted in its original colour, the brightwork re-plated or replaced, and new wheels and tyres fitted. The original interior was kept, with the hides refurbished. The page puts spending with RSW at more than £200,000, and about 1,500 miles have been covered since.

It comes with a photo-book of the restoration, itemised invoices, an RSW dyno print-out for the rebuilt engine, published articles on the car, previous ownership details and a BMHIT certificate. The dealer supplies it with a health check, a service, a fresh MoT and 12 months' warranty. The price is shown as POA.
