  1967 ASTON MARTIN DB6 COUPE
RIGHT HAND DRIVE  AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CHASSIS No: DB6/3241/R
ENGINE No: 400/331
LONG TERM OWNERSHIP 33 YEARS
CORRECT MATCHING NUMBERS



Of all the cars ever produced by Aston Martin, the DB6 is arguably the ultimate development of the David Brown “gentleman’s express” concept of a Grand Touring motor car. The DB6 continued the attractive styling of covered headlamp nose, while the back ended in an aero-efficient “Kamm tail” which featured a small upswept spoiler. The chassis was extended 3.75-inches in order to accommodate for the first time a pair of usable rear seats and the body panels were, as always with an Aston, of hand-formed aluminium. The new DB6 also featured enhanced options to include; power-assisted Girling disc brakes and a limited slip differential. The interior coddled the lucky occupants in the finest Connolly hides and Wilton wool carpet – quite the anomaly when one considers that all this limo luxury travelled zero to 60 miles per hour in under seven seconds and had a top speed of 148 miles per hour!


# 3241/R was supplied new on the 10th November 1967 by Rose & Young Ltd, Caterham Surrey to Mr N Jaweather of Footcray, Kent. The last owner, a prominent Italian lawyer & a resident of Rome, kept and enjoyed the Aston as his daily motorcar for over 30 years until Hexagon Classics acquisition in the summer of 2015!
The car was commissioned to be built to the following specification and options, as the car is still presented today.
  • Exterior: Dawn Blue (Rolls-Royce Colour Option) we understand one of only 3 cars manufactured to this specification
  • Interior: Connolly Grey Hide VM3393.
Borg Warner automatic gearbox, heated rear screen, chromium wire wheels, power operated aerial, three eared spinners, factory fitted power assisted steering & front headrests.
In Hexagon Classics ownership, the following restoration works have been completed:
  • Bare metal repaint in Dawn Blue
  • Complete re-trim in Connolly Grey Hide VM 3393
  • New Wilton Carpets in Grey
  • New Chromium Wire Wheels
  • Comprehensive Mechanical overhaul by marque specialists costing in excess of £80,000
The motorcar is presented with the following documentation:
  • Factory Build Specification Sheet
  • BMIHT Heritage Certificate
  • Original Drivers Instruction Hand Book
  • Original Road Test Reports
  • Factory Brochure
  • Contemporary service & restoration invoices from 1983
We are very proud to offer for sale this wonderful Aston Martin DB6 Automatic Coupe, presented in superb restored condition, ready to be used and enjoyed.
Available for immediate inspection in our London showrooms.

  TODAY WE FEATURE
TWO FACTORY PROTOTYPES 
We are very proud to announce the acquisition of these two very important cars. Both are factory prototypes, both with only 1 owner from new, that owner being a Ferrari dignitary of the highest order. In addition, both cars were gifted to the only owner by the Commendatore Enzo Ferrari himself. Neither car has sustained any accident damage nor received any paintwork whilst in the only owners hands and have both been recently mechanically re-commissioned by the factory. Ferrari Red Book Classiche Certification has been awarded to both cars confirming that they were prototypes, who they were gifted to and that it was Enzo Ferrari that granted such.
1983 FERRARI 288 GTO PROTOTYPE

Chassis no. 47647 was utilised for the development of the engine electronics and turbochargers. It differs from production examples by way of its petrol tank configuration. It is 1 of only 6 288 GTO prototypes ever produced of which 3 were destroyed, making this particular car the oldest example that remains in existence today!

Only 1 owner and 20,800km from new, Mr Marco Piccinini the Motorsport Director of Ferrari and F1 Team Manager from 1978-1988 who was personally appointed by Enzo Ferrari himself as his representative for F1 matters in 1977 at the age of just 25. This car was gifted to Mr Piccinini from the Commendatore as a bonus for his performance in the 1984 and 1985 F1 season.



1987 FERRARI F40 PROTOTYPE

Chassis no.75052 is 1 of only 8 F40 prototypes ever produced, of which very few are in survival today! As with the 288 GTO, it has been owned from new by Mr Marco Piccinini and was also gifted to him from the Commendatore as a bonus, on this occasion for his performance in the 1987 and 1988 F1 season. It has covered only 7,950km from new.

It differs from production examples by way of many features which include but are not limited to; different wing mirrors, 5 rear side vents as opposed to 4, different Kevlar weave to the tub plus quilted headlining.

    1966 JAGUAR S-TYPE 3-8 Litre


    The finest, original example to come to the market in many years, this was in the hands of the original family until we acquired it through a mutual acquaintance. Used as a weekend car until the mid- 1970’s, it was then laid up in dry storage until the late 1990’s when the son of the first owner took ownership. It was then subject to some sympathetic recommissioning and refurbishment for its return to the road. Since we purchased the car it has been brought up to show standard while the important aspects to its originality have been carefully preserved. The mileage is 24,000, and in 2015 it was featured in articles in both Classic Cars and Classic and Sportscar with studio shots (which we have kind permission to reproduce) and being put through its paces at Chobham test track. Finished in Classic Golden Sand with Red Leather, this has the ultimate specification with an all synchromesh manual gearbox and factory power steering.

    1951 HOTCHKISS  ANJOU 1350


    Manufactured 1951 and sold to an army officer who left the car in a barn, It was rediscovered in 1981 by a dealer/enthusiast and over the next few years restored to its former glory. The paper work suggests five owners in total, the last owner has owned and cherished the car since 1991. The engine has been rebuilt and body work repainted in this time, Seats reupholstered in the correct material, the rest of the interior is original and excellent.This example has the manual four speed gearbox fitted not the Cotal electric box. Nice to drive having plenty of power from this large four cylinder engine, and right hand drive of course. Mileage indicated is 55000 km and probably correct.The car is still French registered but will be registered here when sold. £17750
