1969 Aston Martin DBS
Beschrijving
GENERAL: The Aston Martin DBS is an iconic British grand tourer, built in Newport Pagnell in 1969. This example carries chassis number DBS/5630/R and is an original right-hand-drive vehicle. It is equipped with desirable period options such as power steering, Picco horns, and the original Radiomobile radio. The car has been fully restored and refinished in its original Olive Green color, famously associated with the DBS featured in the On Her Majesty's Secret Service starring George Lazenby. BODYWORK and PAINTWORK: This is a Series 2 DBS, identifiable by the revised design features compared to the Series 1. The rear side louvres have been removed and replaced by a single louvre beneath the rear window. Additionally, the car features a front spoiler and wider sills—design elements later carried over to the DBS V8 models. The body has been fully restored and repainted in its original Olive Green, presenting in excellent condition. TECHNICAL: The car is powered by the 4.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, equipped with triple SU carburetors, all of which have been fully overhauled. This setup delivers strong performance and a refined driving experience. Originally fitted with an automatic transmission, this DBS has been upgraded to a 5-speed Tremec manual gearbox, significantly enhancing driver engagement and overall handling. The 6-cylinder DBS models are widely regarded as offering superior balance and handling characteristics due to their lighter weight compared to the V8 variants. INTERIOR: The interior has been fully restored and is finished in high-quality Strawberry Red leather, offering a striking contrast to the exterior color. The speedometer has been converted to kilometers per hour, including the correct transmission gear modification to ensure accurate readings.
