1969 Aston Martin DBS Vantage Sports Saloon 5-Speed ManualThis 1969
Aston Martin DBS Vantage Sports Saloon is a 5-Speed manual example
wearing its original color combination of Silver Birch over dark
blue leather interior. According to its factory build sheet, the
engine number is listed as 400/4253/SVC, which today has been
replaced by an earlier unit, most likely from a late DB5 from its
sequence number 2000. Its chassis plate has been updated to reflect
this, and it still carries a triple Weber setup, suggesting that
its performance would remain to Vantage levels. The build sheet
also confirms that it was built to Vantage Saloon specifications
for the Swiss market, including air conditioning, power assisted
steering as well as having octagonal wheel nuts, a Bosch European
Radio and one head rest, for the driver. It also had Swiss
specification headlamps. A very honest and highly original driver
quality example that's quite presentable overall. The driver's seat
is certainly well worn, but elsewhere and particularly for the rear
seats its condition is remarkably good. The Aston starts right up,
runs and drives well. A superb expression of the automotive design
of its era, the Aston Martin DBS has become an icon of the marque,
and also marks the last model produced under Sir David Brown's
leadership at Aston Martin. 3,995cc DOHC Vantage 6-Cylinder Engine3
