DB6 Body Shell & Dolly Off For Restoration

A DB6 body shell on a dolly, removed from a private countryside garage to be safely transported to its new owner. The new owner will now continue the restoration of this Classic Aston Martin.

AutoGuardian relocated the bodyshell and its dolly to an aluminum specialist in our specialist enclosed classic car transportation trailer.

The remainder of the car travelled separately.

We hope to see this car again as it gets restored.

Aston Martin DB6 Brief History

The Aston Martin DB6 is a British grand tourer that was produced by Aston Martin from 1965 to 1971. It was the successor to the DB5 and was designed by William Towns. The DB6 featured a more curvaceous body than the DB5, with a Kamm tail rear spoiler and split front and rear bumpers. It was also larger than the DB5, with a longer wheelbase and a higher roofline.

The DB6 was powered by a 4.0-liter straight-six engine that produced 282 horsepower. It could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 160 mph. The DB6 was available in both coupe and convertible (Volante) body styles.

A total of 1,788 DB6s were produced, including 140 Volantes. The DB6 was a popular car with celebrities and royalty, and was featured in several films, including Goldfinger and The Italian Job.

The DB6 was replaced by the DBS in 1971. However, it remains a popular classic car today and is highly sought-after by collectors. In 2017, a DB6 sold for £1.9 million at auction, making it one of the most expensive Aston Martins ever sold.

Here is a timeline of the history of the Aston Martin DB6:

• 1965: The DB6 is introduced at the London Motor Show.
