Description:
The Aston Martin DBS Vantage embodies the essence of British sportiness and refined elegance of the late 1960s. Powered by a 4.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine in Vantage specification, featuring three Weber carburettors and the precise ZF 5-speed manual gearbox, this grand tourer offers an impressive combination of performance and sophistication. Its distinctive bodywork with clean, purposeful lines and a luxuriously appointed interior make the DBS one of the most sought-after collector cars of its era.

A total of only around 787 DBS models with the six-cylinder engine were produced. In the particularly rare configuration featuring left-hand drive and the factory ZF 5-speed manual transmission, it is believed that just 30–35 examples were ever built – making this a true collector’s piece, distinguished by substance, style, and the unmistakable character of traditional British craftsmanship.

About this car:
According to the accompanying Aston Martin build sheet, this original DBS Vantage was delivered in 1969 via the Aston Martin agent Victor Palomo Monegal to its first owner in Alicante, Spain. The car remained in Spain until 2015, when it was acquired by a Hamburg-based collector. It subsequently underwent a full restoration—covering all mechanical and cosmetic aspects—carried out by renowned specialists including Spraytech and RS Williams. Of particular note is the original LHD layout in combination with the rare, factory-installed ZF 5-speed manual gearbox—a configuration realised in only a handful of cars and highly prized among collectors. The original engine was professionally uprated to 4.2-litre specification, resulting in an outstanding Aston Martin with well-documented provenance and exceptional presence.

Engine: Inline 6-cylinder, upgraded by RS Williams, approx. 360 hp
