Aston Martin DBS Vantage

A 1968 Aston Martin DBS, the Touring-era successor to the DB6 and the same model that appeared in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This right-hand-drive car has been restored by Aston Workshop and brought up to Vantage specification with an original Vantage engine.

It is finished in Cumberland Grey, the shade associated with later Bond films, after a bare-metal respray. It left the factory in Burnt Almond with White Gold leather and was first sold through H.R.Owen with power steering and a Motorola radio as options. A George Lazenby signature in the glove box ties it to the film.

Work covered the floor, sills, A and B posts and new door skins, plus an overhauled suspension and braking system, a new wiring loom and an aluminium radiator. A modern five-speed manual gearbox has been fitted. The interior has new Wilton wool carpets, a new headlining and a refurbished dash and wood-rim wheel. The car spent time in the USA before returning to the UK.
