1969 Aston Martin DB6 Mk 2 Vantage

DB6MK2/4270/RroadUnited Kingdom
Engine
Triple-carb or fuel-injected inline-six, Vantage tune, 325 bhp
Colour
Fiesta Red

One of just 71 factory-built DB6 Mk 2 Vantage examples, this right-hand-drive, UK-delivery Aston Martin was completed with the 325 bhp Vantage engine, a manual gearbox, and Fiesta Red coachwork over a Black leather interior. It retains its original colour combination and original engine. Family invoices trace ownership to at least 1984, after which the car entered prolonged static storage spanning approximately three decades, leaving it as a well-preserved, unrestored example requiring recommissioning.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
