The DB6 Mk2 was the final evolution of Aston Martin's celebrated David Brown-era six-cylinder line, with only 240 examples produced between July 1969 and November 1970. This particular car was delivered new in the UK in Dubonnet Rosso over natural leather and has been in single ownership since 2007, held in dry storage throughout that period. It retains its original warranty document and an old-style continuation logbook, though it requires recommissioning before road use.
