Triple SU carbs, chrome centerlock wire wheels, Dunlop SP Sport tires, woodrim steering wheel, Motorola radio, Smiths dash clock, Normalair air conditioning, heated rear window, power windows, power antenna, owner's manual, tools.
Condition
Beautiful detailed engine bay and nearly spotless underbody. Excellent paint and chrome. Even gaps. Very good, lightly worn interior. Fully and correctly done to high standards, and it looks like it has barely been driven since completion. Restored in the early 1990s then in long term ownership in Japan. Cosmetically and mechanically refreshed recently by Kevin Kay Restorations. A fantastic car, but the next owner's favorite color better be green.
Market commentary
Impressively restored over two decades ago yet still sharp and crisp, this Aston could have been done two years ago. The larger DB6 body is more appropriate for the appellation 'saloon' which the British apply to Astons but is still sleek and svelte and worth every bit of the value RM Sotheby's bidders paid for it.
