Classic Aston Martin DB6 Car Review

Aston Martin DB6
After the final move from Feltham, the new DB6 from 1965 was the first Aston Martin to be totally engineered at the new works in Newport Pagnell. The successful 4-litre six-cylinder double overhead cam unit was carried over from the DB5, and market appeal was increased by improving interior room by adding 4 inches to the wheelbase and offering greater overall headroom. Total length increased by only 2 inches over the previous model however, and although the new DB6 looked far more substantial, it weighed in at only 17lbs more than the DB5. These improvements proved popular, DB5 sales of 1063 cars being eclipsed by total DB6 sales of 1,755.

My father had several DB5s and DB6s in the 1960s and I got to drive them on occasions. I just remember the roar the exhaust note was fantastic! The gearbox was great and handling out of this world. But this was a long time ago when they probably cost about £5,000 new and was probably considered hugely expensive!
