1967 Aston Martin DB6 Volante

£ 535 000

Launched to the public in 1965 at the London Motor Show, the DB6 Volante answered customer calls for a genuine 4-seater convertible, with adequate boot space for touring. Ultimately just 140 examples were manufactured before the model became superseded.

The example we are pleased to offer, built in 1967, was manufactured with factory optional power assisted steering, automatic transmission, a power operated roof and chrome plated wire wheels, all options being retained to today. The convenience of automatic transmission and power assisted steering, combine to provide the owner a pleasurable and stress-free, top-down motoring experience.

The recent recipient of considerable restorative works, carried out by renowned Aston Martin Heritage specialists and Aston Martin Works at Newport Pagnell, includes rebuilds to the transmission, a front and rear suspension rebuild, an overhaul of the brakes and cooling systems, along with a major service and sundry other works all bringing the car to its current first class condition. More recently a complete re-trim, using finest quality Connolly 846 Tan Vaumol hides, new Wilton wool carpeting and a new tailored woven fabric hood, have been fitted and the paint refinished to the superb shade of Pacific Blue, as presented today.

With matching engine and chassis numbers this elegant and highly useable DB6 Volante, with a comprehensive record of expenditure in its maintenance and upkeep, covering the last 45 years, has for the last 5 years been serviced and maintained annually in our own workshops, since its restorative works.

A beautiful example of the prized DB6 Volante with automatic transmission, it is a pleasure to drive, particularly on today's congested roads, with excellent road manners and relaxed touring capability. Roof down or roof up, the car is superbly presented and would be equally at home in any car collection, on any driving event or in being shown at any classic car concours.
