Buyer’s notes
About the Aston Martin DB6
The DB6 was shown at the London Motor Show in October 1965 with a wheelbase 3.75 inches (95 mm) longer than the DB5’s, for more room in the back, and a cut-off tail with a spoiler to stop the rear lifting at speed. The Mk2 of 1969 brought flared arches, the DBS’s wheels and power steering as standard.
What moves the price
- Version: Vantage-engined cars and the Volante convertibles are separate markets from the standard saloon.
- Structure: rust where the steel structure meets the aluminium panels is costly to put right.
- History: documented engine work and a record of specialist care.
Before you buy, check
- The front bulkhead, sills and jacking points, rear suspension and trailing-arm mounts, door bottoms and front valance.
- Where the steel structure meets the aluminium body panels.
- The engine, which is costly to rebuild: oil and water leaks, and any sign of the two mixing.
