Description
An evolution of the famed ton DB5, the DB6 was announced at the Motor Show in October 1965 and featured a number of distinct styling changes.
ton ’s designers and engineers attempted to improve comfort and practicality over the DB5 while also maintaining the performance that ton ’s clients had become accustomed to.
The chassis was stretched by 3.75 inches, and the rear axle was relocated in order to create additional cabin space for two rear seats.
Despite those modifications, the DB6 only weighed 18 pounds more than the DB5 and was able to retain the DB5’s performance, just as ton had promised.
The ZF 5 speed gearbox keeping the 282 Ps 4.0 litre straight-six at the right RPM. In other words this translates to an absolute joyful driving experience.

In total, just 1,788 DB6s were manufactured during the model’s 1965 to 1971 production window.

CONDITION EXTERIOR
The car’s bodywork presents superbly. The paint has a beautiful deep shine and the body is in a wonderful condition. The original chrome still shines as new, all of the exterior trim is in very good order, as are the window surroundings, the door handles, bumpers etc. etc.
er the bottom of the car is exceptionally clean and original, shows the care to which this vehicle has had during its lifetime
CONDITION INTERIOR
The interior of the ton is perfection in our opinion. h the colour and the fact it is the original 55 year old red leather suits the exterior colour of the car exceptionally well.
The gauges and switchs are in fantastic condition, as is the wood-rimmed steering wheel.
The only modification on the car is the original radio has been rebuilt and while appearing original it has had an upgrade to bluetooth (exceptionally discreet)
Following a recent and comprehensive inspection and maintenance, this example now presents in magnificent condition throughout, and would make a fine addition to any collection.
