About this car

The DBS was Aston Martin's first big move of the post-David Brown era, a wide, square-cut four-seat grand tourer. The Vantage version of the six-cylinder car carried the more powerful engine specification. This one is billed by the dealer as one of only nine, though the page gives no further detail on that claim.

It is a 1970 right-hand-drive car with a manual gearbox, finished in Bahama Yellow over a black interior. That is a bold colour for a car of this type, and it suits the DBS's blunt, angular lines.

The page gives no mileage, ownership history or service record, so those would need to be confirmed with the dealer before any decision.
