*Automatic transmission
*Present ownership since 2012
*Requires re-commissioning
"The object of the changes (in creating the DB6) has been to make room for adults in the two occasional back seats, but at the same time the opportunity has been taken to make a number of detail improvements to the rest of the car." – Autocar, 1965.
According to the accompanying copy guarantee form, '3351/R' was delivered new equipped with automatic transmission; power assisted steering; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; Motorola radio; power operated aerial; three-ear hubcaps; Webasto sunroof; Marchal fog/spot lamps; and front safety belts. The car was finished in Oystershell with red leather interior, and was first owned by one Anthony B Davies of London, its original registration being 'KLR 56D'. Servicing at the factory is recorded up to August 1973. When acquired by the owner at a UK auction in 2012, the Aston was registered to Mr David Atkinson of Sunderland, its previous owner (from 1987) having been Mr Michael Squirrel of Kent. The car was said to have "driven and run well" when last taxed and MoT'd in 2010.
Exported after the 2012 auction, the DB6 will attract the low import duty rate of 5% and will require re-registering if it is to remain in the UK. It will, of course, also require re-commissioning before further use.
