Chassis DB6/3280/R was completed on November 24th 1967 and finished in the elegant combination of Platinum Silver with a Black leather interior. The car was dispatched to Callanders Garages Ltd of Glasgow a few days later, and records show it made several trips back to Newport Pagnell for servicing through the 1970s, and at some point the DB6 was repainted in White. After spending several decades in Japan, it was returned to the UK in 2016, and while complete, was in need of restoration. The car was entrusted to Aston Martin specialist restorer Richards of England for an extensive 2,500-hour “body-off” restoration, which was carried out between 2018 and 2020. The work transformed the DB6 into a car of unparalleled quality. Much of the restoration was carried out in-house, but specialists Bodylines were called upon to craft two new aluminium door skins and fabricate a replacement nose section using traditional techniques. The original engine, numbered 400/3360, was overhauled and upgraded to 4.2-litre ‘Vantage’ specification, complete with revised camshaft profiles and triple Weber carburettors. The axle was fitted with a limited-slip differential and a Harvey Bailey handling kit was installed along with telescopic rear shock absorbers. Notably, the restoration of DB6/3280/R was carefully documented with photographs chronicling every step of the process. The current owner, having acquired the car in November 2020, undertook a detailed shakedown and continued to refine this exceptional car. As part of this process he decided to reinstalled the original ‘Selectaride’ rear shock absorbers, though the brackets for the telescopic shocks were left intact should a future owner wish to use them. With just under 900 miles since its restoration, this DB6 remains in excellent condition and ready to be enjoyed, with the car’s exterior remaining stunning, with the gleaming Platinum Silver paint contrasting beautifully with the striking Red Connolly leather interior. This DB6 is now offered for sale with its V5C Registration Document, Heritage Certificate, history file, Lake & Elliot ‘Millennium’ jack, and a leatherbound book documenting the restoration.
