1966 Aston Martin DB6 Volante Series I
- Colour
- Silver Birch
Chassis DBVC/3673/L is a Series I left-hand-drive Aston Martin DB6 Volante, one of the rarer open variants of the DB6 line introduced in 1966. Built with automatic transmission, power steering, and a limited-slip differential, it was originally delivered through a Paris dealer to a British attorney based in Nassau, Bahamas. The car later passed to a prominent American collector who showed it at the Pennsylvania Concours in 1984 and 1985, winning First in Class on both occasions. It retains its numbers-matching engine and original Silver Birch finish.
