1966 Aston Martin DB6 Auto

Delivered new in the UK January 1966. Finished in California Sage over Natural Connolly Leather.

Non Standard Equipment chosen was Borg Warner Automatic Transmission, Chrome Wheels, Heated Rear Screen, 3 Ear Hub Caps, Power Operated Ariel.

This is a last of line DB6 finished in her original specification and matching numbers. The cars mileage is supported by MOT history.

This excellent example is well presented and accompanied by a good history file which includes receipts from R.S Williams and Nicholas Mee who carried out a £70,000 mechanical restoration. In 2017 this car was also subject to a bare metal paint and is ready to go!

Originally finished in California Sage but the Aston’s penultimate owner decided to repaint it Silver Birch whilst retaining its original tan trim. He was an Aston Martin enthusiast and collector and owned this ‘6’ for 11 years and lovingly looked after it during that period. Regularly used for family days out, ‘NGP 92D’ had been maintained and was mechanically restored to a high standard by Nicholas Mee & Company whilst in that owner’s care.

Works carried out by Nick Mee included removing the engine, gearbox, exhaust system, and suspension; cleaning the underside; welding as necessary; treating with red oxide, and protecting with new under-seal. The cleaned and painted rear axle was then reinstalled with all new bushes, as was the rebuilt and re-bushed front suspension, while the engine bay was cleaned and refinished ready for the re-installation of the engine. The latter’s cylinder head was removed, overhauled with new gaskets, and refitted, and the carburettors cleaned and reset. Re-assembly was completed with new exhaust and inlet manifold gaskets, hoses, clips, drive belts, and engine mounts, while all ancillaries were reinstalled having been cleaned and repainted. The exhaust system was refitted with new clamps and mountings. In addition, the brake master cylinder was rebuilt, and the brake callipers removed cleaned and refitted with new flexible hoses. The total cost of the aforementioned works was circa £30,000 and detailed invoices for all of this are in the owner’s file.

In 2016 the car was sold to its now previous keeper who, rightly, chose to return her back to the original colour of California Sage.
She is beautiful and all enquiries are welcome.
