DB6 (1965 to 1971)

The Aston Martin DB6 represented a refined evolution of the brand’s grand touring formula, maintaining a worldwide production life from late 1965 until January 1971. While sharing the legendary 4.0-litre Tadek Marek straight-six engine with its predecessor, the DB6 abandoned the Superleggera tube-frame construction in favour of a more rigid, conventional steel chassis, easily identified by its distinctive Kamm-tail rear spoiler and split bumpers. In the Australian market, the DB6 holds exceptional desirability and a strong search presence, owing to its status as the most practical and refined of the "DB" classics, offering increased headroom and rear passenger space. The buyer pool in 2026 remains highly active for both the standard 210kW unit and the high-output Vantage specification, with well-preserved examples commanding resilient market values as enthusiasts appreciate the model's superior high-speed stability and improved aerodynamics. As the final model developed under David Brown's direct control before the transition to the DBS, the DB6 remains a highly sought-after masterpiece for those who seek the perfect blend of sixties glamour and enhanced driving refinement.
