1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mk II Vantage Coupé 5 Speed ZF Gearbox: Correct Matching Numbers Chassis No. DBMK2 /4276 /R Engine No. 400/4654/VC 1 of only 46 Cars Produced: Only 73,786m from New! The final production series for the DB6 being the “Mk II' was the swan song of the DB variants produced by Newport Pagnell. The specification shared many parts with the DBS such as the wheels and tyres, hubs and seats so as to help to minimise costs, the wider tyres are accommodated by slight flares over the wheel arches. The DB6 differed from its predecessors in having a longer wheelbase which, at 8' 5¾", was 3¾" longer than that of the DB5. This meant more room for rear passengers, which made the DB6 more of a family man's car and helped it sell better than the earlier models in the series. The bodywork was distinctive, with a slightly higher roofline than the DB4 and DB5, and featured an aerodynamically efficient abbreviated 'Kamm' tail. Our correct matching numbers DB6 Mk II Vantage is documented by Aston Martin Lagonda Limited as being one of only 46 cars to be originally manufactured with the AE Brico fuel injection system although this was not properly developed and many of these cars were later converted to Weber carburettors by the Aston Martin factory as this one was, together with the fitment of the ultra-rare “C' type specification Vantage engines that the factory supplied producing a reported 325 bhp. A significant improvement over the already impressive 285 bhp of the standard DB6, this car is presented in the ultimate specification together with a five-speed manual ZF gearbox. Supplied new on the 1st December 1970 to Mr R A Lewis of Morecambe, Lancashire noted previous ownership in the historical chassis file shows only 6 keepers from new; the last owner acquired the Vantage in November 1993.
