A 1966 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage Sport Saloon finished in Silver Birch over red Connolly leather, built to the full Vantage specification with 325bhp, a ZF five-speed gearbox, Normalair air conditioning, limited-slip differential, and chrome wire wheels with knock-off hubs. Originally ordered new by a Massachusetts company through J.S.
