ASTON MARTIN DB6 1966

ASTON MARTIN DB6 – 1966 Chassis: DB6/2720R Engine: 400/2311 – 4.0 liters Transmission: Manual Interiors: Connolly beige leather Exteriors: Aston Green Metallic This extraordinary 1966 Aston Martin DB6, equipped with the highly sought-after manual transmission, represents one of the most fascinating and authentic examples of English grand touring from the 1960s. The DB6 model, a direct evolution of the iconic DB4 and DB5, is recognized for its body designed by Touring Superleggera with Superleggera structure, for its extended wheelbase, wider roofline, and especially for the characteristic “Kamm tail,” designed to improve stability and aerodynamics. The engine is the legendary 4.0-liter inline six-cylinder, fed by three SU carburetors, capable of a smooth and powerful delivery that, combined with the manual transmission, offers a highly engaging driving experience. DB6s with manual transmission today represent an absolute minority in total production, making this specimen particularly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors. Provenance and Ownership Purchased in 2006 from Cristiano Luzzago, the car has never left his prestigious private collection. Luzzago has enthusiastically used this DB6, personally participating in numerous events and gatherings, always reaching destinations behind the wheel of the car itself, leveraging its reliability on long national and international journeys.
