The DB6 Mk 2 Vantage is one of the rarest David Brown era Aston Martins and the culmination of over a decade of engineering advancement.Chassis # DB6MK2/4256/R is one of only 71 DB6 Mk2s equipped with the Vantage engine by the factory when newSeemingly always a cherished example with several AMOC Concours successes in the 1970s and 1980sFinished in the beautiful colour combination of British Racing Green with Natural leatherAn original factory manual transmission example, the car retains its matching numbers Vantage engineSignificant recommissioning by Aston Martin Works including an engine overhaulOffered at a very competitive guide price and presented to auction freshly MOT’d with its V5 and an interesting history fileConsidered by many to be the last 'real' Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965 and replaced the DB5. The wheelbase was now 4" (100mm) longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with a more steeply raked windscreen, reshaped rear quarter windows, and a raised roofline which made the rear seats considerably more viable. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance, but the major change was at the rear where a 'Kamm' tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. The Tadek Marek-designed, six-cylinder engine, which had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, remained unchanged and the power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp.By 1969, Aston Martin was winding down production of the DB6, which was now over a decade old, and as attention turned towards the newer, more modern-looking DBS, Aston Martin unveiled a final swan song - the DB6 Mk 2. Mechanically, the Mk 2 was largely unchanged from its predecessor; the Borg & Beck clutch plate was replaced by a 10.5-inch version, and the, previously optional, power-assisted steering was now fitted as standard. Both the ZF five-speed manual gearbox and the automatic transmission were available; however, a new option of Brico fuel injection was offered and fitted to just 46 cars. Visually, the new Mk 2 benefited from several DBS components utilised to keep costs down while subtly upgrading the look of the DB6. Most recognisable of these upgrades was the wider 8.15×15-inch Avon wheels, which necessitated flared front and rear wheel arches. Previously optional three-ear knock-offs were fitted as standard, and the interior was redesigned to more closely resemble the DBS - including trimming the front seats with pleated leather.As was customary for Aston, the Vantage engine was available as an option to those owners who wanted that extra power boost. Having evolved from the DB4 Special Series engine first seen in 1961, Vantage engines were fitted with three Weber carburettors instead of the standard two. In the highest ‘C’ state of tune, the DB6 Mk 2 Vantage engine now produced 325bhp as compared to the standard 282bhp.This very rare, desirable and simply lovely DB6 Mk2 Vantage was manufactured in April 1970 and records show that it was sold by HR Owen in London and registered in September 1970. The car was supplied by the factory with the Vantage engine and ZF manual transmission options, and was originally finished in Burnt Almond with an interior in Natural leather.It seems the car remained a cherished example throughout its life as the Aston Martin Owners Club (AMOC) Register notes that #4256/R enjoyed several club Concours successes in 1979, 1985, and 1986. Although it is unknown when the car adopted the lovely shade of British Racing Green it wears today, we imagine it was a regular at AMOC events and competed in many Concours events over the years, in addition to the events at which it was awarded a prize.More recently, the DB6 was acquired in August 1997 by an Aston Martin Owners Club member who resided near Birmingham, and he kept it for thirteen years until its most recent owner acquired it directly from them in May 2010. Soon after purchase, the Vantage was exported to the Middle East where it joined their significant car collection and remained on display in perfect storage conditions.Upon the cars return to England in 2018, Aston Martin Works were tasked with carrying out a significant recommissioning of the mechanicals, including an overhaul of the original Vantage-specification engine. Pleasingly, the work was carried out by Aston Martin technicians in the same facility in which the car was originally constructed.Of the 240 DB6 Mk2s produced, only 71 had the Vantage engine from new and less than half of those were right-hand drive saloons with a factory-fitted manual gearbox, which makes this example a very rare car. The Aston presents well in a delightful colour combination with a classic DB interior which proudly displays its original radio. We feel the car is competitively guided given its rarity and recent recommissioning by the ‘Works’. Freshly MOT’d, this beautiful DB6 is ready to be enjoyed by its next lucky owner.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6 MK2Year: 1970Chassis Number: DB6MK2/4256/RTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 400/4629/VCDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Tan LeatherClick here for more details and images

A rare, right-hand drive, manual gearbox, Mk2 with a very competitive guide.The rakishly elegant DB6 Mk2 was the ultimate evolution of David Brown’s iconic blood-line of 1960s thoroughbred Grand TourersThe Mk2 benefited from a host of detail changes and looked more purposeful with its wider tyres and gently flared archesRecently been cared for by world renowned experts, Aston WorksA full interior re-trim included in the extensive work carried outPresented to auction with MOT, History file and a NOVA CertificateAn exciting opportunity and worthy of any inspectionEntering production in July 1969, but not formally unveiled for another month, the rakishly elegant DB6 Mk2 was the ultimate evolution of the iconic Aston Martin DB4/DB5/DB6 line. Sharing the same sheet steel platform chassis with its immediate predecessor complete with all-round coil-sprung suspension (independent double-wishbone front, trailing arm/beam axle rear), four-wheel disc brakes and Armstrong 'Select-a-ride' adjustable rear shock absorbers, the newcomer nevertheless incorporated a host of detail improvements. Sharper and more responsive to drive thanks to wider wheels and fatter tyres (hence the need for its trademark flared wheel arches), the Mk2 also benefited from the provision of standard-fit power-assisted, rack and pinion steering. Automatic transmission remained a `no cost' option, whilst cars equipped with the five-speed ZF manual gearbox gained a lower first gear ratio and more positive Borg & Beck clutch.The fabulous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC, straight-six engine could be had with a nascent form of electronic fuel injection, however, the majority of buyers wisely opted for carburettor-fed variants in standard (triple SU, 282bhp) or high-performance Vantage (triple Weber, 325bhp) tune. Indeed, so troublesome did the AE Brico EFI system prove that several Mk2s were converted to Vantage specification by the factory. Revised seating, both front and rear, meant that the last of the classic DB-Series family could also lay claim to being the most comfortable. Only in production until November 1970, just 239 DB6 Mk2 saloons are thought to have been made (of which a mere 122 were, reputedly, to triple SU carburettor-fed specification).A copy build sheet from the accompanying history file lists chassis ‘4135/R’ as being delivered new to Halesowen in October 1969 with the reg number ‘WYL 150H’. The document also states this car was originally delivered in Celeste Blue metallic with a dark blue Connolly hide interior (although the bodywork is now finished in dark blue) and was specified from new as a ‘DB6 MK2 ZF Saloon spec’ and supplied with ‘Two front seat belts’, which were optional at the time.It appears this example spent time in collections throughout its life abroad but returned to these shores two years ago and has since been looked after by Aston Works in Newport Pagnell, the same facility in which the car was originally built. There are various invoices detailing the work carried out on the car available to view in the accompanying history file and its worth noting that ‘4135/R’ was the lucky recipient of a full interior retrim by ‘Works’ last year.Presented to auction with a fresh MOT (expires 11th Jan 2022), the aforementioned history file and a NOVA Certificate, which therefore means the new owner (if wishing to keep the car in the UK) will need to register it once again with the DVLA.A Mk2 in right-hand drive, with a ZF manual gearbox, benefiting from lots of recent attention at Aston Works is a very desirable motor car and at this very competitive guide price, 4135/R is an exciting opportunity and worthy of any inspection.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6 MK2Year: 1969Chassis Number: DB6MK2/4135/RTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 400/4372Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 95000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Navy LeatherClick here for more details and images

Delightful Series 5, one of only 50 and one of the last cars built.Originally delivered new to California and exceedingly rare in left-hand driveFinished in its original colours of Aegean Blue over a White Gold interiorPleasingly retaining its original engine and gearbox numbersReassuringly accompanied by an Aston Martin Assured Provenance documentLooked after in recent years by world renowned experts at Aston Works – recent invoices on fileThe original James Bond Goldfinger car used in filming was, in fact, a DB4 Series 5 VantageThis exquisite Aston is in excellent condition and is ready to be enjoyed by its next ownerFrom September 1962, the DB4 received another round of changes sufficiently different to persuade the AMHT Register to designate the latest iteration, the final variant of the DB4, as the 'Series 5'.Principally, in order to provide more space and legroom for rear-seat passengers, the body was lengthened by 9cm (up from 448 to 457 cm) and the roof raised a little too, yet all within the same wheelbase as previous examples (despite what you may read elsewhere). This is best seen in the gap between the back of the rear wheel arch and the start of the rear bumper. So as to keep the overall height of the car the same as before, the diameter of the wheels was reduced from 16 to 15 inches.The rear light clusters were slightly changed from the Series 4 and feature individual indicators, stop/tail lamps and a reversing lamp. The rear reflector was therefore relocated to the bumper, the boot handle/number plate light was changed to a larger Hella type and the front indicators are noticeably larger than earlier cars. In total, a mere 50 Aston Martin DB4 Series 5 saloons were built during a 10-month period between September 1962 and June 1963 prior to the arrival of the DB5.The accompanying ‘Aston Martin Assured Provenance’ confirms that chassis ‘1182/L’ was delivered to its first owner in California in June of 1963. Given that production of the DB4 ceased in 1963, this example appears to be one of the later cars built. The ‘Assured Provenance’ also confirms that this Series 5 was specified in Aegean Blue over a White Gold interior, colours that the car wears to this day. Reading further, pleasingly shows that the car still retains the same engine and gearbox numbers since being delivered in 1963 and also shows that non-standard features specified on the original build were electric windows, a heated rear windscreen, two seatbelts and was, one of five, we believe, that retained the 'open headlights' of the earlier cars.Returning to these shores a few years ago, the Series 5 has since been looked after by the world renowned experts at Aston Works and there are various invoices on file that show the level of care and attention this car has received in recent times. The car is currently on a NOVA and has recently been issued with a fresh MOT (12.01.22).Reassuringly accompanied by an Assured Provenance document, issued from the same factory in which it was built, this is one of the rarest DBs you can find, especially in left-hand drive. The original James Bond ‘Goldfinger’ car used in filming was, in fact, a DB4 Series 5 Vantage as they look virtually identical and the DB5 had not quite been finished. Lighter and arguably prettier than the later DB5 and wonderfully finished in Aegean Blue with a lovely light interior, this exquisite Aston is in excellent condition and now ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB4 SERIES 5Year: 1963Chassis Number: DB4/1182/LEngine Number: 370/1212Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 86353 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: White LeatherClick here for more details and images

A good example of the 6-cylinder DBS benefitting from recent servicing and offered at a very keen estimate.Registered to the first of just five owners on 01/08/1969Bought by our Aston collector vendor in 2014 and who is now emigrating to SpainFinished in Dubonnet Rosso with tan leather and walnut veneers Looked after and last serviced by marque specialist, Christian Lewis, in 2020The MOT is valid until June 2021 and the odometer reading is some 11,200 miles (atoc) Supplied in good order, this automatic DBS is offered with a history file and V5cAlthough always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8 engine, the Aston Martin DBS was launched in October 1967 with the 4.0-litre 'six' of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by William Towns, the beautiful DBS caused quite a stir, Autocar magazine observing: 'Without the aid of an Italian stylist the Newport Pagnell team came up with something as modern, handsome and Italianate as anything from the Turin coachbuilders at that time.'Beneath its shapely exterior, the DBS employed a platform-type chassis with independent suspension all round: wishbone and coil-spring at the front, De Dion with Watts linkage at the rear. Larger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the heavier DBS disappointed some by virtue of its slightly reduced performance, but the Vantage version's top speed of 140mph and a standing quarter-mile time of 16.3 seconds were highly respectable figures nonetheless. Assessing the virtues of Aston's new flagship, Autocar judged it superior to the DB6 in many areas, the bigger DBS offering four full-sized seats in addition to transformed handling and road holding courtesy of the new rear suspension and standardised power steering.Registered to the first of just five owners on the 1st August 1969, the car was bought by our vendor, the curator of the Generation GT Collection, in 2014. It has benefitted from attention from marque specialist Christian Lewis in 2020 with recent works to the carburettors. The mileage of just under 11,200, at the time of cataloguing, leads us to believe it was either zeroed at restoration or has gone round the clock. The MOT is valid until June 2021 and the car is supplied to auction with a history file showing recent and historical invoices and the Swansea V5c.

One of just 101 V8 Coupes produced, classically presented in Pentland Green with Parchment leather piped in green.Superbly finished in Pentland Green with Parchment leather piped in greenA rare member of the Aston V8 family in a classic colour combination Owned by our Aston enthusiast vendor since 2016 and only selling due to emigrationThe odometer reading is some 45,600 miles (atoc) and a fresh MOT is planned Serviced in 2019 by marque specialist, Christian Lewis, with invoices totalling £6,630 Fitted with an automatic gearbox, it's presented to auction with a history file and V5cLaunched at the International Motor Show in Birmingham during October 1988, the sensational newcomer re-stated its Aston Martin V8 forerunner's brawny looks in the modern idiom, contriving to be slightly narrower yet providing increased interior space. The car was still no lightweight, but with 330bhp on tap courtesy of the trusty V8 engine's new 32-valve top end, was good enough for a top speed approaching 160mph and a 0-60mph time of under seven seconds.After spearheading the Aston Martin V8's transformation for the 1990s, the Virage name was dropped during 1994, its place as the 'standard' model being taken by a Vantage-style V8 Coupe. Introduced at the Geneva Salon in March 1996, the new V8 Coupe adopted all of the Vantage's muscular styling cues but retained the normally aspirated, 5.3-litre engine of the Virage and delivered similar performance. The model formed part of the Aston Martin range for just three years and is one of the rarer members of the modern V8 family.Finished in Pentland Green with a green-piped, Parchment leather interior, this automatic transmission V8 Coupe was sold new to a Mr Cooney of North Yorkshire in July 1997 and he owned it until 2003. Whilst in Mr Cooney's ownership, '79041' made regular visits to the 'Works' at Newport Pagnell, including one for a repair to the nose under warranty. The car also had a 'sports exhaust' fitted and a Vantage boot conversion amongst other works.In October 2003, the Aston was transferred to a Mr Kohler of Hertfordshire. Aston Martin Works records contain multiple invoices for work and services up to 2007 and the car benefited from the attentions of Aston Engineering, Derby in October 2015. Marque specialist, Christian Lewis, carried out a service this year and the car was fitted with new shock absorbers. The service book records a change of speedometer by Aston Martin Works in February 2000 at 10,670 miles, a used instrument registering 2,086 miles being fitted at that time; hence the mileage is 8,584 more than the current reading of 45,240, totalling circa 54,000. The service book is signed by the engineer on that date for verification. Further owners enjoyed the car until our vendor bought it in 2016, the car joining his Aston collection consisting of coupes from the 1960s to the 2000s. With a permanent move to Spain planned for the end of the year, this car is therefore very competitively guided.

A rare low production model and in a very desirable specification.Regarded as one of the last 'real' Bentleys, the flagship Bentley Continental R Mulliner was introduced in 1999 and manufactured until 2003 by Bentley Motors in CreweTurbo-charged 6.75-litre V8 offers 420bhp and a staggering 650 Lbs/ft of torque. 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of over 170 mphOne of just 131 examples produced and historically significant as one of the last hand-built Bentleys produced before the company's acquisition by VolkswagenPresented in the stylish combination of Metallic Blue paintwork with a cream leather interiorJust 43,809 miles covered; full service history, with 12 Bentley service stamps in original service booklet; major service at 41,259 miles costing £5,200 with a new head gasketOn offer from a privateer vendor and kept in a temperature-controlled garage and rarely used but started on a regular basisAll relevant service history, paperwork, owner’s manuals, and bills accompany the carIntroduced in 1991, the Continental ‘R’ was the first Bentley in 26 years to not share a body style with a concurrent Rolls-Royce and was inspired by the highly collectible Continental R-Type of the 1950s. The elegant two-door coachwork was styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, a duo whose résumé included sports cars like the Aston Martin Virage. Five years later Bentley introduced a short-wheelbase version dubbed the Continental ‘T’ that was equipped with an uprated engine developing 420 hp and an impressive 650 foot-pounds of torque available at only 2,200 rpm.Bentley customers soon expressed interest in equipping the “wide-body” Continental R model with the T’s more powerful engine, and the Continental R Mulliner was consequently introduced at the 1999 Geneva Salon. The nomenclature was an homage to H.J. Mulliner, the British coachbuilder responsible for the original R-Type’s breath-taking fastback bodywork. The R Mulliner’s wide-body configuration offered spacious interior elegance, whilst the twin-turbocharged V8 could rocket the car to a top speed of nearly 170 mph, with brisk 5.6-second sprints to 60 mph from standstill. Individually tailored to customer order, the R Mulliner was Bentley’s ultimate 20th-century combination of luxury and performance, produced in a modest quantity of as few as 131 examples. Without question one of the finest Bentleys ever made, the Continental R is also historically significant as one of the last hand-built Bentleys produced before the company's acquisition by Volkswagen.The car presented here is a 2001 Bentley Continental ‘R’ Wide-bodied Mulliner Coupé (SCBZB25EX1CH63540) that has covered just 43,765 miles over the last 20 years in the hands of four previous owners, the current one since 2016.Our knowledgeable vendor knows the areas of potential concern with these special cars and consequently he had the sills/underside inspected as they were showing some minor scabbing. As a result, he had these professionally removed and replaced two years ago and, similarly, with head gaskets having been known to occasionally fail, during a routine service at Bentley Manchester, they fitted a new head gasket (£5,200) solely for peace of mind.The dealer's list price for these cars was a, not unsubstantial, £225,000 when new, with the entire production run (1992-2003) amounting to just 131 examples in 'wide-body' configuration. In exceptional condition throughout, having been maintained and stored regardless of cost, and in a delightful colour combination, this elegant Bentley is accompanied by a total and comprehensive service history including detailed invoices and numerous MOT Certificates.Our vendor is a long-term Bentley enthusiast and although the car is regularly used, it remains beautifully presented. This is an opportunity to acquire one of the very best Bentley 'Wide-body' examples on the road today.13/12/01 4,452 miles Ron Stratton & Co Ltd.

A driver-focused XK120, fresh from a two-year restoration, with some choice upgrades.The XK120 Roadster - as elegant as XK Jaguars can ever beA landmark Jaguar sports car and the world’s fastest production car in its daySourced specifically from the US by Jaguar specialists for restoration/enhancementTwo-year nut and bolt rebuild, now in RHD with added driving enhancements (including power-steering, disc brakes, uprated suspension)Beautiful colour combination of California Sage paintwork with a Biscuit interiorRecently finished, shaken down and ready to enjoyA car-starved Britain, still trundling around in perpendicular pre-war hangover vehicles, glimpsed the future in October 1948 with the launch of the Jaguar XK120 at the Earls Court Motor Show. Production commenced in 1949 in Coventry, and the XK's swoopy shape and stylish occupants would become a common sight on British roads over the next 15 years. It heralded the arrival of Jaguar's famous 3.4-litre twin overhead camshaft XK engine, (the basis of all their engines for the next 25 years) with an alloy cylinder head and twin side-draught SU carburettors producing nearly 160bhp. The “120” referred to the car's top speed which, at the time, made it the fastest production car in the world. Jaguar seems to have always had a flair for marketing and to illustrate that the car's top speed was not a figment of a publicist's imagination, in May 1949, on the Jabbeke to Aeltre autoroute, an XK120 with its hood and side screens in place recorded a speed of 126mph, and no less than 132mph with the hood and windscreen detached and an undertray fitted. The car was in almost instant demand and when on to spawn the famous XK lineage of fast and elegant sports cars.The car offered here is a 1952 Jaguar XK120 OTS (or Roadster) which has been meticulously restored from the ground up over the last two years by long-established Jaguar and Bentley specialists ‘DJB Engineering’ of Northamptonshire. The father and son team that run the company imported this car from the US specifically for this project. The car’s Heritage Certificate tells us that this particular XK120 OTS was manufactured on the 20th of May 1952 and was (unsurprisingly) LHD originally, fitted with a manual gearbox and painted Suede Green with matching interior and a French Grey hood. It was sold through Jaguar distributors, a Hornburg of Los Angeles, to its first owner, the pleasingly named, Mr K McCorkle.Converted to right-hand drive and with fully renewed bodywork, adopting a fast-road/racer aesthetic, the car now looks simply resplendent in Aston Martin California Sage, by craftsman Steve Chandler, with a Biscuit interior by Workshop 77 of Weedon Bec. Knowing the potential of these early XKs as proper driving machines, DJB Engineering also ensured this car has had some sympathetic upgrades beneath the skin. Fitted with a full stainless-steel exhaust, a 5-speed gearbox, adjustable shock-absorbers, hydraulic power-steering, polyurethane suspension bushes, hard passivated suspension components, an external oil cooler, larger volume radiator with an electric fan, and full servo-assisted disc brakes with Coopercraft billet calipers, this car is now extremely capable. Added to this, the lustful 3.4-litre XK engine has been fully rebuilt and dressed, with an overhauled cylinder head fitted with a new composite head gasket and new timing chains installed.During the restoration, simply no corners were cut, and the car features virtually every available improvement to make it most exciting to campaign. Photographic records show every stage of the process, literally from the prepared chassis and up. The car has been ‘shaken-down’ with road trails and performs as well as it presents. Father and son were sorely tempted to hang on to their recently finished car, such is its appeal and ability, however, a new project awaits.The XK120 OTS was hugely influential in period and has an elegance of line that would be completely at home on the manicured lawns of Pebble Beach, however, there is no denying that, in standard form, the 1940’s mechanicals are a touch ‘agricultural’. This superb example, on the other hand, with its intelligent upgrades drives, brakes and handles like a ‘modern classic’ offering, we believe, the best of both worlds.

1996 Aston Martin DB7 CoupéRegistration no. L90 SPAChassis no. SCFAA1110SK100574Odometer reading: 122,500MOT Expiry: 30/01/22*Aston Martin specialist servicing*Only covered 1,000 miles since 2016*Private plate included in lotThe Aston Martin DB7 is one of the most beautiful and successful Aston Martins ever produced. Styled by Ian Callum, the design is sleek yet muscular and has proved completely timeless – a common feat with Callum's designs. Co-developed by Tom Walkinshaw Racing, the DB7 was fitted with the 3.2 litre inline six-cylinder engine featured in the Jaguar XJ – but with an added Eaton supercharger, bringing the power up to 335bhp. This automatic example is in good condition and has been maintained to a high standard over its lifetime. The car's service history booklet is full of stamps with servicing undertaken by Stratstone Aston Martin of Wilmslow right up until 2006. From then onwards the car has been looked after by Aston Martin specialists. The car also comes with its original inspection certificate, as well as the private number plate featured. The car has only covered 1,000 miles since 2016. The bodywork presents well for a car of this age, as does the inside but it could require attention in some places. The car runs and drives well and also has a full years MOT.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 65/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.
