A 1969 Aston Martin DB6 Mk 2 in Tudor Green metallic, this car is among only 46 examples delivered with the rare Brico fuel-injection option — a distinction confirmed by its original build sheet. Originally acquired new by noted Aston Martin racing driver Robin Hamilton, it later passed through three further private owners before entering its current family's care in 1988 at 26,962 miles. Subsequently maintained to concours standard, it has recently been recommissioned mechanically.
