1969 Aston Martin DBS Vantage for Sale in Germany

This 1969 Aston Martin DBS Vantage is a used car. It is powered by a petrol engine rated at 360 PS (265 kW). It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Silver Birch with a Burgundy interior.

According to its Aston Martin build sheet, this DBS Vantage was supplied in 1969 through the factory's Spanish agent to a first owner in Alicante, with the steering wheel on the left and a five-speed ZF manual gearbox fitted at the factory. The seller believes only 30 to 35 cars were built that way, out of about 787 six-cylinder DBS.

It stayed in Spain until 2015, when a collector in Hamburg bought it. Specialists including Spraytech and RS Williams then restored it completely, mechanically and cosmetically, and RS Williams took the original engine out to 4.2 litres, now rated at about 360 hp. It wears Silver Birch with burgundy leather.

The car is located in Hamburg, Germany.

The Aston Martin DBS Vantage (1967) uses the 3,995 cc twin-cam straight-six, fed in Vantage form by three Weber carburettors, with a five-speed ZF manual gearbox, or a three-speed Borg-Warner or Chrysler automatic, driving the rear wheels. William Towns drew the body; at 1,588 kg the four-seater is larger than the DB6 it replaced, whose engine displacement it kept.

FAQ

This Aston Martin DBS in the European market

Can this Aston Martin be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Hamburg, Germany. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

Who is selling this Aston Martin DBS, and how does a purchase work?

Thiesen, a professional dealer in Hamburg, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Aston Martin DBS be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Hamburg, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Aston Martin DBS still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Thiesen before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in Germany?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Aston Martin market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the DBS, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
