1967 Aston Martin DB6

- Numbers-matching inline-six, fully rebuilt
- Colour
- Dark charcoal metallic
Chassis DB6/2710/R is a right-hand-drive, UK-market 1967 Aston Martin DB6 originally finished in California Sage over black Connolly leather. Delivered new through dealer Arnold G. Wilson Limited to its first owner in York, the car was subsequently treated to an extensive multi-year restoration involving a full engine rebuild and a new interior in dark charcoal metallic with hand-stitched black leather. The numbers-matching engine and period-correct specification make it a strong example of the David Brown era.
