1967 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage
- Engine
- 4.2L DOHC inline-six with triple Weber carburetors, 325 bhp
- Colour
- Sierra Blue
A 1967 Aston Martin DB6 in Vantage specification, finished in Sierra Blue and configured in left-hand drive for the American market, this example ranks among just 71 factory Vantage DB6s built. Ordered new by a Palo Alto-based physician in April 1967, it remained in single ownership for over four decades. The original matching-numbers engine was rebuilt in 1991 by West Coast specialist Kevin Kay, who carried out ongoing sympathetic maintenance throughout the car's life. An exceptionally complete documented history accompanies the car.
