1966 Aston Martin DB6 Volante Mark I

DBVC/3633/RroadUnited Kingdom

A rare Mark I Aston Martin DB6 Volante (chassis 3633), finished in open-top form and equipped with the optional 3-speed automatic gearbox. The DB6 Volante represented the pinnacle of David Brown's tenure at Aston Martin, featuring a Kamm-tail spoiler for improved high-speed stability and an extended wheelbase for additional rear passenger space. The car's detailed history has not survived, though it is accompanied by a British Motor Museum Heritage Certificate. It is presented requiring full mechanical and cosmetic restoration.

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.

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.
