Since being restored, the car has been carefully maintained and having only done 2210 miles it has been serviced in London, UK on a regular basis. Due to its careful maintenance and restoration, the DB6 has a drivability that gives a responsiveness and smoothness that the driver desires.

History of the DB6


With an illustrious history, the DB6 was announced at the London Motor Show in October of 1965 and quickly became a hit with the rich and famous. Stars including HRH Prince Charles, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Tiggy and Peter Sellers all owned a DB6.


A clear evolution of the DB5, the noticeable changes on the DB6 included a Kamm tail rear spoiler, the split front and rear bumpers, a redesigned oil cooler aperture in the front valance, a higher roof line and a longer wheelbase.


When it was new, the DB6 saloon was fitted with a straight six engine producing 282 BHP which meant it could reach a top speed of 148 mph as well as having an impressive 0-60 time of 6.1 seconds.
