Description:

The Aston Martin DBS was launched in 1967 and was the successor to the DB6. Right from the start, the DBS, which broke with the tradition of the DB series, was to be delivered with a newly developed eight-cylinder engine. However, the engine was not ready for series production at the start of production and so it was decided to continue using the proven six-cylinder of the DB6. The top model of the DBS was the DBS Vantage.

First, Touring from Milan, who previously drew DB4, DB5 and DB6, should be responsible for the design of the new Aston Martin. However, the two prototypes did not convince company boss David Brown at all and so the design of the DBS was left to the in-house designer William Towns. A good decision, because the DBS and its similar successor, the V8, were the most successful cars in the company’s history. From the DBS only 181 with LHD were produced, only 71 as Vantage.

This DBS Vantage was delivered to Switzerland in May 1970 in this color configuration. It is therefore a real LHD with a rare and very sought-after five-speed manual gearbox. The car was extensively restored in Germany.
