Lot details Registration No: LJF 1D Chassis No: DBVC-2323-R Mot Expiry: Feb 2009
Arguably, the most desirable series of Aston Martin convertibles ever made and the first to carry the ‘Volante’ moniker, the DB6 Short Chassis cars are also the rarest. One of only 37 examples built, chassis DBVC/2323/R left the factory on 24th September 1965 and was first registered on 11th January 1966. Finished in Pacific Blue with tan leather upholstery, the car has formed part of a small private collection since 2000. The engine underwent an extensive overhaul in 1988 by marque specialist Goldsmith & Young and has since covered only 7,000 miles. Visually distinguished from its DB5 Convertible predecessor by an enlarged oil cooler duct and split front / rear bumpers, the DB6 Short Chassis Volante also sported an updated interior and different rear lights. Rare to the market, surviving examples top the wish list of many a collector.
