--Silver Birch with Black leather interior and Black carpeting,
Completely Restored, Factory LHD, Bespoke modern automatic
transmission as well as Autosport Designs bespoke air conditioning,
Absolutely superb in every respect.This rare factory DB6 Vantage
Coupe has been well-known to Autosport Designs, having been
purchased in 2000 from well-known Aston Martin collector Mr.
Alexander Knapp-Voith, Switzerland. At the time, the DB6 had
accumulated limited mileage since having been restored by
well-known and respected UK Aston specialists, Aston Engineering.
Sold almost immediately to Mr. M. Mahoney, North Carolina, USA, the
DB6 was flown to New York with final delivery to Autosport Designs.
The DB6 remained in Mr. Mahoney's ownership for the next twenty
years. Used sparingly due to an extremely busy work schedule and
travel, the DB6 was maintained when and where needed regardless of
cost. It received routine journeys to Autosport Designs for
scheduled service and maintenance.In 2019, the DB6 was repurchased
by Autosport Designs. In excellent older restored condition, it was
decided to restore-refresh the DB6 to be in as new condition
throughout with added personal bespoke additions. It received a
bespoke 4-speed automatic transmission. Unlike the original 3-speed
Borg warner automatic transmission, typically referred to as a
slush box, this conversion has turned the DB6 into superb car for
around town use, as well highway touring. For those who are
skeptical, one drive will change even the mind of the most diehard
of 5-speed manual enthusiasts. It is that good and well suited to
the power and rear end gearing, just a joy with ease of use.Another
addition is the fitment of modern air conditioning to replace the
factory air conditioning system as originally supplied when new.
The factory system is mediocre at best, the new system with far
better output and custom fabricated outlets fitted to the dash and
center console lower panels, almost hidden, is absolutely
exceptional. I can attest to road testing this DB6 in 90 degree
weather and stop and go traffic and its being the first vintage
Aston air conditioning system where I had to turn the fan speed
down due to its becoming too cold.The DB6 was stripped to metal,
repainted, chrome refinished, interior gone through, mechanicals
redone, suspension, brake and exhaust system restored, new wheels
tires, nothing was overlooked.Recently used on the 2022 New England
1000 as well as The Copperstate 1000 vintage road rally's, it
performed flawlessly. I can confirm the previous owner drove passed
me in air conditioned comfort while I was boiling my @#$%&*
off in the Arizona heat!A rare bespoke DB6 Coupe in excellent
restored condition with limited mileage since and complete with
detailed history files and photos of service, restoration and
ownership histories. This DB6 is well sorted and dialed in since
restoration, it has proven itself on several 1000 mile rallies and
is ready for immediate use and enjoyment around town, to the
golf-tennis club or if its next 1000 mile rally if so desired as
well as just as home on the show field as most recently on the lawn
at The Bridge X event.
