About this car

This 1965 DB6 Vantage is a heavily reworked car rather than an untouched survivor. Finished in Fiesta Red over a black hide interior, it rides on chrome wire wheels with three-eared spinners.

The current owner bought it in 1993. It was serviced by various specialists until 2008, then passed to Trinity Engineering in Surrey. Over the following 14 years it received a full refurbishment, including a respray back to bare metal, a complete engine rebuild with an upgrade to 4.2 specification, and a full re-trim in Vaumol hides with black Wilton carpet.

Worth noting for purists: the original gearbox has been replaced by a modern automatic, fitted for ease of driving. The page states that all invoices for the work are filed with the car. Mileage is shown as 99,500.
