The DB6 marked Aston Martin's first real departure in the body shape that first appeared in the DB4 in 1958. Although the DB5 that followed was a truly beautiful car with impressive performance, Aston Martin felt that a wider market required increased front and rear leg room - always a criticism of the DB4/DB5.
This particular DB6 has been completely restored by the highly respected Aston Martin specialist Richard Stewart Williams in 2002, and has covered fewer than 1,500 miles. The reserve on the Volante was not met and it went unsold.
