- Colour
- Sierra Blue
A 1967 Aston Martin DB6 Mk1 Sports Saloon with automatic transmission, originally delivered in Sierra Blue with a natural leather interior and factory-fitted options including power steering, chrome road wheels, and a limited-slip differential. The car underwent a documented comprehensive restoration in 1992 by Edinburgh-based specialist Thoroughbred Cars, costing in excess of £35,000, covering the engine, drivetrain, bodywork, and braking system. It has been in the same ownership since 2008, though a period of static display means recommissioning will be required before road use.
