DB6 Vantage is a lovely matching numbers, genuine Vantage
exhibiting superb mechanical refinement at the hands of Aston
Martin experts, Kevin Kay Restorations, widely regarded to be among
the preeminent Aston Martin DB specialists in North America. Over
the past twenty years, the current owner has preserved the car to a
high standard, particularly with regard to mechanical reliability
and performance. Receipts dating back to 2010 totaling over
$30,000.00 include removing the engine for head and crankshaft
work, a rebuilt oil cooler, a new clutch, pressure plate, and
resurfaced flywheel, and new ZF front and rear seals. Front and
rear suspension work included installing new Koni front shock
absorbers and freshly rebuilt Selectaride rear shock absorbers, new
bushings, bearings, and springs as needed. Also at this time, new
rear brakes, brake pipes, rebound buffers, and trailing arms were
installed. Records of recent service in June and September 2017,
include carburetor jetting, accelerator pump work, jet resizing for
better tune, and repairing the water temperature gauge. Further
work in June include a new radiator, new double end SU fuel pump,
and engineering refinement to the cooling system and fans. At this
time, the car was given a comprehensive tune up including new spark
plugs, timing, and general lubrication.Today, this Vantage is every
bit as nice as one would expect given the quality and care given to
this car. The body is straight with excellent gaps and the paint
exhibits a nice, consistent gloss. The chrome bumpers and various
trim are in very nice condition as are the glass lights and lenses.
Other than the front windscreen, which has light marks from road
use, the exterior of the car is cosmetically cohesive. The interior
exhibits a handsome original look and feel, with leather seating
that has settled nicely, with similar condition to the carpeting,
headliner, and door panels. The dash and instruments are nicely
presented, accented with traditional materials, bespoke in the
Aston Martin tradition.The engine compartment is very clean, and
appears largely original. The Weber carburetors have tremendous eye
appeal and the presentation of the engine is consistent with the
look and feel of the exterior. The car comes with recent receipts
showing the mechanical work performed on the car, jack, and tools.
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a genuine and rare
matching numbers Vantage, exhibiting handsome cosmetics, excellent
mechanical sorting, ready for enjoyable driving. Price: $389,500
