1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mk 2 Vantage
- Colour
- Velvet Green
A late-production 1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mk 2 in Vantage specification, built on 29 April 1970 and dispatched through Odeon Motors Limited in January 1971. Originally finished in Velvet Green with matching interior, the car is distinguished by its flared wheel arches, power-assisted steering, and pleated leather cabin. Its engine number alteration suggests a subsequent upgrade from fuel-injection to Vantage tune. After passing through several London and south-west England owners, it was acquired in 2011 and exported to Kuwait, where it served as a static exhibit and now requires recommissioning.
