1971 Aston Martin DB6 Mk II Vantage Coupé 5 Speed ZF Gearbox: Correct Matching Numbers 1of only 62 Cars ProducedThe 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 which is documented by Aston Martin Lagonda Limited as being one of only 62 cars ever built to the ultimate specification , five-speed manual ZF gearbox and Vantage specification engine, producing a reported 325 bhp with three Weber carburettors – a significant improvement over the already impressive 285 bhp of the standard DB6.Supplied new on the 1st June 1971 to Messrs Dore of Sheffield, noted previous ownership in the historical chassis file shows only 8 keepers from new; the last owner acquired the Vantage on the 17th January 2000 with only 52,965 miles.
