1968 Aston Martin DB6 for sale

1968 Aston Martin DB6 for Sale in United Kingdom

The DB6 was built from 1965 to 1970 and is the last of the DB4-DB5 line: the same 4,0-litre straight-six, but on a wheelbase lengthened by nearly four inches and with a Kamm tail: a cut-off rear deck with a spoiler lip, worked out in the wind tunnel to hold the car down at speed. It is the first Aston Martin shaped by aerodynamics rather than by eye.

The longer wheelbase bought rear seats that adults can use, which is why the DB6 is the one to drive rather than the one to photograph.

This car is a 1968 example in Silver Birch (the colour of the DB5 in Goldfinger, and the shade most associated with the marque) showing 3,219 kilometres.

It is offered from Tom Hartley in the United Kingdom at £199,950.

The technical table above it sets out what the seller states about the car itself: 3 219 km on the odometer and Silver Birch outside. The car is with Tom Hartley in Swadlincote.

The DB6 is where Aston Martin's engineering and its styling parted company, and the car is better for it. The Kamm tail was not a stylist's idea: David Brown's team took the DB5 to the wind tunnel, found the rear lifted at speed, and cut the tail off square with a spoiler lip: which is why a DB6 is stable at 150 mph where a DB5 is not. The wheelbase grew by 3,75 inches at the same time, and the rear seats became usable by adults. The 4,0-litre straight-six is the Tadek Marek engine in its final road tune. Tom Hartley sells from Swadlincote, in the United Kingdom.
