1971 Aston Martin DB6 Mark 2 Vantage Sports Saloon
- Engine
- 3,995cc inline-six, triple SU carburettors, 325 bhp (Vantage tune)
A rare example from the final evolution of the Aston Martin DB six-cylinder lineage, this DB6 Mark 2 Vantage is one of only 71 built to that specification out of a total Mark 2 run of 240 cars. Powered by the 325bhp triple-carburettor Tadek Marek engine with the highest 'C'-state tune, it retains its original drivetrain, suspension, and brakes as confirmed by an Aston Martin Assured Provenance assessment. The car has been in long-term storage and requires recommissioning before road use.
