1966 Aston Martin DB6 Sports Saloon Registration no. SJD 2F (see text) Chassis no. DB6/2806/RN (see text)
"If you want a truly British driver's car, the ultimate development of a continuous line of thoroughbreds from the Vintage era to the present day, there is nothing in quite the same field as the Aston." – The Motor on the DB6.
Delivered on 16th June 1966, this DB6 was ordered by Aston Martin's USA operation (AML Inc) but was returned to the UK in August 1967 and not sold until the following year, the guarantee being issued on 2nd January 1968. The purchaser was one C R G Young Esq of Surrey, and the Aston was first registered as 'SJD 2F'. Originally built with left-hand drive, the car is now in right-hand drive configuration, its chassis number having been changed from '2806/L' to '2806/RN'. It is not known when or by whom the conversion was carried out.
An automatic transmission model, the DB6 was most generously specified, the list of options including the 3.54:1 limited-slip differential; Normalair air conditioning; chrome wheels; heated rear screen; Fiamm horns; 3-ear hubcaps; Britax safety belts; Bosch Köln radio; power operated aerial; and two Marchal fog lamps. The original colour scheme was Pale Primrose with red trim. 'SJD 2F' is listed in the HPI database; nevertheless, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this vehicle's registration status prior to bidding. Sold strictly as viewed and lacking original registration documents, the car will require re-commissioning and registering before further use, it is currently running and driving. Import tax at the reduced rate of 5% will apply should the Lot remain in the UK.
