Aston Martin DB6 Saloon

This right-hand-drive Aston Martin DB6 was first registered on 1 February 1968 and is chassis DB6/3348/R. It has a five-speed ZF manual gearbox, power steering, a heated rear screen, stainless steel bumpers and a Webasto sunroof. The paint is listed as Silver Blue Metallic over black leather, though the dealer notes it has also been described as Helios Blue Metallic.

Its main interest is continuity. The current owner bought it in November 1977 with about 65,000 miles and kept it for nearly 48 years. The file includes a copy of the original folding log book, which records the first owner as a London publishing company. It also holds invoices, personal correspondence and a full run of MOT records.

Recent work is substantial. ASD Workshops of Dorset rebuilt the engine in 2022/23, including a crankshaft regrind, new cylinder liners, a lead-free converted cylinder head and refurbished carburettors. The page puts the owner's cumulative refurbishment spend at £47,000 or more. Earlier work included door and sill repairs and a repaint in 2015. The odometer figure on the page is unclear, so no mileage is given here.
