Description
A replacement for the iconic James Bond Aston Martin DB5, the DB6 first entered production in 1965 and was built until 1971 when it was killed off by the Aston Martin V8. Very similar to the previous DB5, it is very easy to confuse the two from a distance, but when you're up close and personal the differences are a bit more obvious.
The most prominent difference is that the taillights are flat instead of circular like those on the DB5, and the body has been smoothed for a more aerodynamic finish. Internally however there are many more upgrades to the DB5 of before, with the options of Power Steering, Air Conditioning, and a Standard ZF five-speed manual unit and a BorgWarner or optional three-speed automatic gearbox available at no extra cost.
This particular DB6 is a rarity because it's not in Silver. I've been to many a car show where DB6 owners have painted their cars Silver and attempted to pass their machine's off as DB5's because they couldn't afford a genuine article. But being a car enthusiast, I'm always quick to point out with insufferable amounts of smugness why their car is not the genuine 007 DB5, but instead a simple knock-off, and to that end not a very good one...
