• Believed delivered new to France
• Desirable five-speed manual transmission
• Present ownership since 2007
• Requires re-commissioning
• Sold with any registration document
All Vantage-specification DB6 Mark 2s came with the highest (325bhp) 'C' state of tune, while all cars benefited from power-assisted steering as standard. When production ceased in November 1970, only 245 DB6 Mark 2s had been manufactured, 71 of which were to Vantage specification.
There are no factory records surviving for the later DB6 Mark 2 cars unfortunately, though the AMOC Register records that this left-hand drive Vantage was in France in 1978. This DB6 is believed to have been delivered new in France and first registered the 14 May 1970, as evidenced by the yellow headlights and the date of first registration on the French registration document.
The current owner purchased the Aston in October 2007 from Royal Automobile in La Baule, France, specialists in British motor cars. The DB6 had been registered with a previous owner in Loire-Atlantique 44, France between 1985 and 2001, and with the next owner in the same département between 2001 and 2007. Since its acquisition by our vendor the car has been kept on static display and will require recommissioning before further use. Offered with photocopies of an old French title, Kuwait title and the 2007 purchase invoice.
Please note that if this vehicle is to be imported into Switzerland, Swiss Customs charges (Car Tax, VAT and a Customs Administration Fee) will apply totalling roughly 13% of the Purchase Price (Hammer + Buyers Premium). Swiss Car Tax at 4% shall be calculated on the total Purchase Price. Swiss VAT (8.1%) will then be applicable on the aggregated amount of the Hammer Price, Buyer's Premium and Swiss Car Tax. There will equally be a charge for the customs clearance procedure. Please note that customs rates to other countries shall vary. This vehicle will not be available for immediate collection after the sale and will only be released on completion of customs clearance. If you have any questions regarding customs clearance, please contact the Bonhams|Cars Department or our recommended shippers.

Footnotes
1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mark 2 Vantage
Châssis n° DB6MK2/4268/L
Moteur n° 400/4632
• Vraisemblablement livrée neuve en France
• Appréciable boîte manuelle à cinq rapports
• Propriété de son vendeur depuis 2007
• Nécessite une remise en état
• Vendue sans titre d'immatriculation
Les DB6 Mark 2 en version Vantage bénéficiaient toutes du réglage moteur le plus puissant (le C, de 325 ch) et toutes les voitures étaient équipées en série d'une direction assistée. Lorsque leur production prit fin, en novembre 1970, il n'y avait eu que 245 DB6 Mark 2 produites, dont 71 en version Vantage.
Il n'existe malheureusement plus d'archives de l'usine relatives aux dernières DB6 Mark 2, mais celles de l'AMOC témoignent pour cette DB6 Vantage direction à gauche de sa présence en France en 1978. Elle fut vraisemblablement livrée neuve en France et immatriculée pour la première fois le 14 mai 1970, comme l'indiquent ses phares jaunes et la date de première immatriculation portée sur sa carte grise française.
Son propriétaire actuel a acheté cette Aston Martin en octobre 2007 en France, à La Baule, chez Royal Automobile, un spécialiste des voitures anglaises. Elle avait alors été immatriculée en Loire-Atlantique de 1985 à 2001 au nom d'un précédent propriétaire, puis d'un autre dans le même département, de 2001 à 2007. Depuis qu'il l'a achetée, son vendeur l'a conservée en exposition statique ; elle nécessitera donc une remise en état avant toute utilisation. La voiture est proposée avec des photocopies d'une ancienne carte grise française, de son titre du Koweït et de sa facture d'achat de 2007.
Veuillez noter que si ce véhicule est importé en Suisse, les frais de douane suisses (taxe sur les véhicules, TVA et frais d'administration douanière) s'appliqueront pour un total d'environ 13 % du prix d'achat (prix au marteau + prime d'acheteur). L'impôt suisse sur les véhicules, d'un montant de 4 %, sera calculé sur le prix d'achat total. LA TVA suisse (8.1%) sera alors applicable sur le montant cumulé du prix d'achat, de la prime d'acheteur et de la taxe suisse sur les véhicules. La procédure de dédouanement sera également facturée. Veuillez noter que les taux de douane pour les autres pays peuvent varier. Ce véhicule ne sera pas disponible pour un enlèvement immédiat après la vente et ne sera libéré qu'une fois le dédouanement effectué. Si vous avez des questions concernant le dédouanement, veuillez contacter le département Bonhams|Cars ou nos expéditeurs recommandés.
