About this car

This 1967 Aston Martin DB6 is a Vantage-specification car with the factory five-speed manual gearbox, a combination that makes it more desirable than the usual automatic-equipped examples. It is finished in Cannock Black over beige leather. The page says it was supplied new through Nortons to a coal and coke merchant in Northampton.

Chassis DB62766/R had a "back to birth" restoration completed in 2007, with work by marque specialists including Aston Engineering, Spraytec, CAR and Panelrama. The engine has been rebuilt to 4.2-litre capacity and dyno tested at 315 bhp, with the data on file.

The car has covered about 14,000 miles since the restoration and has been with its current owner for 16 years. The underside is described as show standard, and the interior is lightly patinated. A large history file holds invoices and photographs of the work.
